AutoTrak 2.0 System Overview
The AutoTrak 2.0 System is an IR tracking system that consists of an IR
lanyard attached to a rechargeable belt pack that is worn by a presenter
or instructor. Within the lanyard’s cloth cover, there are fifteen (15)
850nm wavelength IR LEDs on a flat flex circuit that emit IR light that is
tracked by an HD-18 PTZ IR Reference Camera with special IR filters.
The IR position is relayed to the AutoTrak 2.0 CPU which in turn controls
the HD-18 PTZ Tracking Camera and follows the presenter and keeps the
presenter framed in the camera shot throughout the presentation
environment. The Tracking Camera is based on the Vaddio high
definition, HD-18 with 1/3-type, 1.3 mega pixel CCD image sensor which
operates well in low light and reproduces color accurately with vibrant
detail and clarity.
Note: Add the two versions: two- HD-18 and one HD-18 and one HD-20

The AutoTrak 2.0 System is also available with the optional EasyTalk
AutoTrak 2.0 Wireless Audio System.
The HD-18 cameras and HD-20 cameras use the Vaddio Cat-5e cabling
systems for ease of set up and installation. The system can be
permanently installed or configured as a cart system for portability and
ease of positioning in the largest of lecture halls. Each system includes a
dual camera mount which can be wall mounted or mounted on top of the
Vaddio Edge series video carts.
The optimum operating range or the system (from the IR Lanyard to the IR
Reference camera) is between 12’ (3.65m) and up to 40’ (12.2m). System
positioning is critical for proper and consistent operation.
The AutoTrak 2.0 can be installed as a standalone system or can be used in conjunction with myriad
Vaddio Presenter controlled solutions including AutoPresenter™, PresenterPOD™, ControlVIEW XHD™,
TouchVIEW™, AutoVIEW™ IR, StepVIEW™ Mats, MicVIEW™ and the Vaddio Video Whiteboard. As an
added benefit, once the AutoTrak 2.0 system is configured the Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor I/O devices
can be removed from the system to ensure the system isn’t subject to unauthorized modification.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built
and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply
other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device
and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or
damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the
risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions.
Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized
power supply will void any and all warranties.
Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not
work well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which
can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up, and/or compromising the HSDS™
signals. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors and test all cables for proper
pin-outs prior to use and connection to Vaddio product.
