RAV-Ware— Configuring Auxiliary Devices

Camera Controls

The RAV system provides voice tracking capabilities through a VISCA control port connection to a PTZ camera.

Setting camera presets

The camera presets are programmed in RAV-Ware and assigned to each microphone pod. When a specific microphone is activated, the PTZ camera will move to the associated preset camera position. The RAV 900 supports three camera positions and a home position. The RAV 600 supports two camera positions and a home position.

Note: The PTZ camera can still be controlled manually from the camera or video codec remote control.

To open Camera Controls

Click the Camera Controls icon in the Configuration screen.

Note: This option is only available when you are connected to a RAV unit and have a camera connected to the VISCA port.

To set camera presets

1. Select the Camera Control Mode, either Sony or Canon.

2. Select which camera you are programming from the Camera list.

3. Select the Camera Delay.

Camera delay is the amount of time the microphone must be activated before the camera moves to the preset position and amount of time the microphone must be inactive before returning to the home position. ClearOne recommends setting the camera delay to at least two seconds to prevent the camera

from changing positions at every sound.
