Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 3 DCN CC Functional Camera Control in congress applications  When a chairman’s or delegate’s microphone is activated on the DCN equipment, the camera assigned to that position is activated.  When no microphones are active, an overview camera is automatically selected. The image can be displayed on hall displays or other monitors together with information about the current speaker if required (such as delegate identification).  The system operator has a monitor, which also displays information about which camera is active. This system provides an extra dimension to congress and conference proceedings.

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 20 DCN CC Functional DCN Start-Up LBB 3590  DCN AUTOMATIC CAMERA CONTROL(LBB 3588)  For assigning cameras to seat numbers, and configuring the cameras to display active delegates on video hall monitors. Camera Control is also available in a stand-alone version (LBB 3562).  The DCN Automatic Camera Control software version which uses a DCN control PC uses two user-created files that contain important information about the installed hardware configurations and about dele-gates’ names. These files are:  Installation file - containing information about the seat numbers that have been assigned to all microphones and cameras connected to the DCN. These seat numbers are assigned using the System Installation software (LBB 3585). All information and settings defined in the DCN Automatic Camera Control software are also added to the installation file.  Names file - containing details about the names of and details of participating delegates, and which seat number they occupy. These names are assigned using the Delegate Database software (LBB 3580).

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 22 DCN CC Functional Software  The Camera Installation main window is used to assign fixed cameras and camera positions (on preposition cameras) to DCN units.  There are two main types of camera recognized by the DCN Automatic  Camera Control software. Fixed cameras are positioned before the conference begins, and they remain in the same position during the conference.  Dome cameras can adjust their position automatically in response to conference activity. For example, a dome camera normally has several prepositions, determined during configuration, each covering a different delegate or group of delegates. The camera will automatically change position to cover the delegate who is speaking.  - There are two versions of DCN Automatic Camera Control software available: LBB 3588 is for DCN systems with a CCU and a control PC. The activation and installation of the cameras is integrated into the DCN PC control software. LBB 3562 is for DCN stand-alone systems without PC control.  - The main difference is that the stand-alone version operates without a control PC. A PC need only be connected for programming the CCU. The PC running the stand-alone software is disconnected from the CCU after the software has been used, but in a DCN system with control PC, the PC remains connected to the CCU.  NOTE: Both software versions can be used in single CCU or multi CCU systems. The maximum number of seats which can be linked to cameras or camera prepositions is 1500.

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 30 DCN CC Functional System Preparation  Step 1 : How to Capture an image?  Step 2 : How to configure a system?  Step 3 : What are the display possibilities?  Camera connection examples

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 31 DCN CC Functional System Preparation Design Step 1  How to capture an image? Use a fixed camera with a “Vari-focal” lens or an Auto Dome camera Capture an overview image Calculate the field of view using the Field View Calculator

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 32 DCN CC Functional Capture an overview image  Why No camera movement Image of the participants Surveillance  Solutions: Fixed camera When using 1 Dome camera only, use the last Pre-Position for Overview

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 33 DCN CC Functional Capture an overview image  When no microphones are activated or during camera movement from one position to the next (if enabled in the software) an “overview” picture is shown on the connected video displays (e. g. monitors, large screen TV’s, video projectors). This picture is provided by the “overview” camera (fixed (preferred) or orientable) which is always connected to video input No. 1. If an orientable camera is used (preferred type ‘AutoDome’ system) the highest available preposition is used.

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 34 DCN CC Functional Calculate the field of view  Measure the max. width “W” of the field of view  Measure the distance “D” between camera and the object to be viewed

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 35 DCN CC Functional Example of using the Field of View Calculator  Use a Fix camera with 1/3” CCD sensor type  The distance to the scene = 20 meters  The width of the scene = 14 meters

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 36 DCN CC Functional Example of using the Field of View Calculator  First step: Find Imager (CCD sensor) format (1/3”)

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 37 DCN CC Functional Example of using the Field of View Calculator  Second step Align image device mark (1/3”) with object distance (20 m) scale. lock the Field View Calculator to keep this setting fixed.

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 38 DCN CC Functional Example of using the Field of View Calculator  Third step Position the transparent slider on the horizontal width (H) of the object (14 m) and read the focal length (F) of the lens. In this case you need a lens of (6,5 mm)

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 39 DCN CC Functional System Preparation Design Steps 2  How to configure a camera control system?

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 40 DCN CC Functional Configuring a stand alone system (Temporary installation PC needed !)

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 41 DCN CC Functional Configuring a stand alone system (Temporary installation PC needed !)  In stand-alone systems, a temporary PC connection to the CCU and Allegiant video switcher is needed during camera installation. (For multi CCU systems the connection should be made to the OS2/master CCU) The numbers assigned to the contribution units during DCN system initialization are coupled to camera positions. After configuration is complete, the PC is disconnected from the system, and a direct connection from the CCU to the Allegiant video switcher is made. Operational camera control by the CCU is enabled during installation.  To disable operational camera control, it is necessary to re- connect the installation PC and open the Camera Installation file.  For camera installation with stand- alone Camera Control software LBB 3562 a temporary PC connection is required.

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 46 DCN CC Functional Camera control Software

Security Systems BU Communication Systems ST/SEU-CO 47 DCN CC Functional Camera control Software  In DCN systems with PC control, the DCN Automatic Camera Control software takes the seat numbers from the current installation file. In DCN systems with a stand-alone CCU, the DCN Automatic Camera Control software uses ‘unit’ numbers instead of ‘seat’ numbers.  Each camera can have a descriptive ID (maximum 16 characters) entered in the ‘Camera ID:’ edit field. This, for example, could be used to give each camera a descriptive ID relating to the position of the camera in the confer-ence venue. This text appears on the operator monitor but not on audience monitors.  The Seat number, camera number, preposition number (if applicable ) and screen text is stored and displayed in the ‘Assignments:’ list.  Screenline usage: This option takes the screenline (text displayed on the audience monitor) as defined in the DCN Delegate Database software.  If ‘Double Seat Text’ is selected in the ‘Settings’ dialogue box, two lines of text can be entered. The text appears on both the operator monitor and audience monitors.  During the camera movement time the image of the overview camera will be shown instead of the image of the dome camera.

This option enables the period for which the camera movement is hidden.  NOTE: This function can only be activated if the overview camera is a fixed camera.
