Vaddio has launched AutoTrak 2.0 with SmoothTrak and AutoTilt technology – an HD classroom camera tracking system. The instructor wears an IR lanyard belt pack that emits infrared light received by an IR PTZ camera. Video is then sent from the IR PTZ camera to the Tracking Camera. In addition to moving from side-to-side (SmoothTrak), the new AutoTilt motion follows the instructor as they move closer or further away from the camera. The presenter is centrally framed no matter where they stand. The new AutoTrakPOD allows the presenter to quickly switch between three tracking camera presets. An additional “Rescan” button on the AutoTrakPOD instantly activates IR lanyard reacquisition. An upgrade kit is available for existing AutoTrak installs. The kit includes two software upgrades, one for the AutoTrak CPU and one for the HD-18 cameras. Hardware upgrades include the new EasyTALK professional-grade Wireless Audio Interface, an AutoTrak 2.0 belt pack with rechargeable lithium-ion battery and a new lanyard with an integrated unidirectional microphone. Also included is telephone technical support with an AutoTrak 2.0-qualified Vaddio Tech Support staff member. www.vaddio.com
