Introducing the Polycom PowerCam  
Presenter  
The Polycom PowerCam Presenter is an automatic camera tracking device. Its  
primary components include a camera, a locator pack assembly, a controller,  
and a remote control.  
When you have set up the PowerCam Presenter and are ready to use the  
automatic camera tracking functionality, simply attach the locator pack  
assembly to yourself using the provided belt clip or lanyard. You can then  
freely move about the room, and the camera will automatically point at you.  
Because you no longer need to confine yourself to a single spot in the room or  
worry about adjusting the camera manually, you’ll be free to focus on the more  
important tasks at hand — whether that’s teaching a class, making a  
presentation, or delivering a speech.  
The PowerCam Presenter also enables you to manually adjust the camera. You  
can pan, tilt, and zoom the camera as well as set up one or two camera preset  
positions.

Using the Polycom PowerCam  
Presenter  
This chapter provides guidelines for setting up the hardware, describes the  
remote control, and explains how to configure the Polycom PowerCam  
Presenter. Information about how to use automatic camera tracking, control  
the camera manually, set camera presets, and obtain system information is  
also included. Tips on how to get the best results when using the Polycom  
PowerCam Presenter are provided at the end of this chapter.  
Setting up the Hardware  
To properly set up the PowerCam Presenter hardware, refer to the Setting up  
the Polycom PowerCam Presenter document, which you received with your  
system. This document is also available at www.polycom.com/  
Keep the following guidelines in mind when setting up the hardware:  
Connect the cables precisely as shown on the Setting up the Polycom  
PowerCam Presenter document. If you change the way the system is cabled  
or use different cables, adapters, or connectors, you may experience video  
delay and lip synchronization issues.  
As shown on the Setting up the Polycom PowerCam Presenter document, you  
cable the system differently depending on whether or not you have a  
Polycom VSX video conferencing system connected to the PowerCam  
Presenter. Be sure to follow the cabling diagram that pertains to your  
particular system configuration.  
The video used for presentations, video conferencing, and recording  
comes directly from the camera, whereas the video used for the user  
interface and system feedback appears on a separate display connected to  
the controller.  
Therefore, if you want to view the user settings screens and see icons and  
messages from the system, you must connect a separate display to  
connector  
on the controller.

Description  
Camera Direction  
Specifies the direction the camera moves when  
using the arrow buttons on the remote control.  
Backlight Compensation  
Specifies whether to have the camera  
automatically adjust for a light background.  
Backlight compensation is best used in situations  
where the subject appears darker than the  
background.  
Configuring the Camera Tracking Area  
The camera tracking area is the area within which automatic camera tracking  
will follow the locator. How you choose to set the tracking area depends on a  
number of factors including the size of your room, whether your room  
contains many, few, or no reflective surfaces (such as windows, large plasma  
screens, or shiny walls), whether you plan on remaining in a certain part of the  
room or you need to walk to all parts of the room, and so forth.  
For example, suppose you are presenting in a classroom that has many  
windows, a few large, shiny tables, and a big plasma screen. Because of the  
many reflective surfaces, the camera may inadvertently point at these  
reflective surfaces instead of pointing at you, the presenter. If you know that  
you will be standing at the front of the classroom throughout the presentation,  
then you could set the tracking area so that it is limited to the front of the  
classroom. In this way, you can eliminate the windows, tables, and screen  
from the tracking area and know that the camera will never inadvertently  
point to them, but will always point to you instead.  
If your room has many reflective surfaces that the camera tends to point to,  
consider reducing the reflections. You could, for example, cover the windows with  
drapes, cover the tables with tablecloths, or treat the side walls to avoid acoustic  
echoes. You may also want to try moving the camera to another location in the  
room, or simply try to avoid the part of the room where the camera has difficulty  
locating you.

Calibrating the Camera  
The Polycom PowerCam Presenter enables you to calibrate the camera in two  
ways: calibrate for pointing accuracy and calibrate for background noise.  
Calibrating for Pointing Accuracy  
If the camera is not accurately pointing to the person wearing the locator pack  
assembly, you can calibrate the camera.  
To calibrate the camera for pointing accuracy:  
1. Press  
Menu on the remote control.  
2. Select Camera Calibration from the PowerCam Presenter screen.  
3. Follow the directions on the screen, and press Begin Calibration.  
Be sure to keep the locator in the center of the video window while the  
camera is being calibrated.  
When the system is done, a message appears letting you know if the  
calibration succeeded or failed. If the calibration failed, you may want to  
repeat step 3 again.  
Calibrating for Background Noise  
The system automatically calibrates the camera for microphone background  
noise when the controller powers up or is rebooted. If the locator pack is  
powered on when the system needs to calibrate for background noise, the  
message Turn off locator pack for calibration appears on the screen.  
To enable the system to automatically calibrate the camera for background  
noise:  
¾
Slide the Power button on the locator pack to the OFF position.  
When the system is done calibrating, the message Calibration Complete  
appears on the screen. You may then power on the locator pack.

Using Automatic Camera Tracking  
Automatic camera tracking automatically points the camera to the person who  
is wearing the locator pack assembly. The camera smoothly follows the person  
as they move about the room, and automatically zooms in and out as the  
person gets closer or further away from the camera.  
In addition, you can customize automatic camera tracking so that it suits your  
particular environment. For example, you can turn off automatic zooming and  
you can customize your automatic camera view (called the Presenter View).

move about the room without having to manually adjust the camera.  
However, at times, you may want to manually pan, tilt, and zoom the camera.  
The Polycom PowerCam Presenter gives you the flexibility to enable or disable  
automatic camera tracking.  
For information about how to manually control the camera, refer to  
To enable automatic camera tracking:  
1. Slide the Power button on the locator pack to the ON position.  
The camera remains in the state it was when you last powered off the  
locator pack. Therefore, if automatic camera tracking was disabled the last  
time you powered off the locator pack, it will be disabled when you power  
on the locator pack; if automatic camera tracking was enabled, then it will  
already be enabled when you power on the locator pack.  
2. If automatic camera tracking is disabled, press any of the Presenter View  
buttons.  
To disable automatic camera tracking:  
¾
Do one of the following:  
Power off the locator pack by sliding the Power button on the top of  
the locator pack to the OFF position.

Setting and Using Presenter Views  
A Presenter View is a customized automatic camera tracking view.  
You might want to set a Presenter View for situations such as these:  
You want to show the presenter’s facial expressions or you want to  
eliminate distracting background objects from the camera view.  
By using the Tight Presenter View, you can zoom in more closely on the  
presenter’s face, while also eliminating some of the background.  
You want to show three or more people, you want to show a room view,  
or the presenter plans to walk around during the presentation.  
By using the Wide Presenter View, you can zoom out, thereby enabling  
additional people, the whole room, or a presenter that is moving around  
the room to fit in the camera view.  
You want to show two presenters or you want to show a single presenter  
along with slides, a whiteboard, flip chart, or another object.  
By using the Left or Right Presenter Views, you can set automatic camera  
tracking so that the presenter appears to the left or right of the camera  
view (rather than the center), thereby enabling an additional person or  
object to fit alongside the presenter in the camera view.  
Keep these two important points in mind when setting Presenter Views:  
The Presenter View settings described above are merely guidelines: you  
can set and change the Presenter View buttons to best suit your situation.  
For example, if you do not need to zoom in on the presenter’s face, but you  
want two different wide room views, you could set the Tight Presenter  
View to a fairly wide room view, and then set the Wide Presenter View to  
the widest room view. In other words, set the buttons to whatever you  
need.  
When you set a Presenter View, the Polycom PowerCam Presenter saves  
the auto zoom and framing settings for that Presenter View. If you then  
enable or disable automatic zooming or manually change the camera's  
pan, tilt, or zoom, the PowerCam Presenter will not automatically save  
those changes when you disable automatic camera tracking. Instead,  
when you enable automatic camera tracking again, the PowerCam  
Presenter will default to the settings you saved for the selected Presenter  
View.  
To set or change a Presenter View:  
1. If automatic camera tracking is disabled, enable it as described in the  
page 2-11.

Using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter  
2. Do one of the following:  
If you are planning to enable automatic zooming for the Presenter  
View, stand 20 feet (6 meters) to 30 feet (9 meters) from the camera. (If  
your room is smaller, you may have to stand closer.)  
If you are not planning to enable automatic zooming for the Presenter  
View, stand at the distance at which that Presenter View will be used.  
For example, if you are going to use the Left Presenter View when the  
presenter is standing near the whiteboard, then stand near the  
whiteboard when setting that Presenter View.  
3. Use  
Left,  
Right,  
Up,  
Down, or  
Zoom to adjust  
the camera to the position you want for the particular Presenter View  
button.  
4. Press  
Auto Zoom if you want to enable automatic zooming for the  
Presenter View. (This setting is disabled by default.)  
Polycom recommends that you enable automatic zooming for the  
Presenter View under these conditions:  
You are going to set the Wide Presenter View.  
Your distance from the camera is going to vary more than 5 feet (1½  
meters). For example, if you plan on standing about 8 feet (2 meters)  
to 12 feet (4 meters) from the camera during your entire presentation,  
you do not need to enable automatic zooming (although you may still  
enable it if you wish). If, on the other hand, you expect to walk  
anywhere from 4 feet (1 meter) to 30 feet (9 meters) from the camera  
during your presentation, you should definitely enable automatic  
zooming.  
5. Press and hold the Presenter View button that corresponds to the  
Tight  
camera’s current position. For example, you can press  
Tight if you  
have set the camera so that it’s zoomed in closely on the presenter.  
Hold the button for at least five seconds or, if you have your video output  
connected to connector  
on the Polycom Presenter controller, until the  
following icon appears on the screen:  
This icon remains on the screen for three seconds.  
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each Presenter View button that you want to  
set or change.

Remember that these settings are merely guidelines, and that you can set and  
change the Presenter View buttons to whatever you need.  
Enabling and Disabling Automatic Zooming  
When you use automatic camera tracking, you typically want the camera to  
automatically zoom in and out on the presenter. At other times, however, you  
may want a fixed zoom so that the zoom remains the same whether the  
presenter moves closer to or away from the camera. In such cases, you can  
disable automatic zooming.  
To enable and disable automatic zooming:  
¾
Press  
Auto Zoom on the remote control.  
If automatic zooming was enabled, it becomes disabled; if it was disabled,  
it becomes enabled. The message Auto zoom is ON or Auto zoom is OFF  
momentarily appears on the screen to let you know whether automatic  
zooming is enabled or disabled.  
If the camera does not accurately frame the presenter when automatically zooming,  
you may need to calibrate the camera or adjust the framing. For more information,  
refer to the “The camera is not accurately framing you” symptom on page 3-6.

Using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter  
Place the camera so that:  
It is no more than 50 feet (15 meters) and no closer than 5 feet (1½  
meters) from the person wearing the locator pack assembly.  
It is about 6 feet to 7 feet (2 meters) above the floor, although higher  
will also work.  
The back of the camera is at least 1 foot (½ meter) away from the wall.  
If you add acoustic foam on the wall, you can place the camera slightly  
closer than 1 foot (½ meter) from the wall.  
The head of the camera points no more than 25 degrees above or  
below the camera base when it is tracking the person wearing the  
locator. Plus or minus 25 degrees of tilt is the mechanical limit of the  
camera.  
Remove as many obstructions as possible between the locator pack  
assembly and the camera. Line-of-sight is best.  
Face toward the camera when wearing the locator pack assembly. If you  
walk behind an obstruction or turn your back for a time and the system  
loses the ultrasound signal, move the locator pack assembly back in the  
line-of-sight of the camera. The camera will automatically receive the  
signal again and point toward you.  
For best results, follow these guidelines:  
From 5 feet (1½ meters) to 35 feet (11 meters) away from the camera,  
you can face the camera or turn side-to-side as long as the locator faces  
no more than 90° away from the center of the camera.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
This chapter contains maintenance information for your Polycom PowerCam  
Presenter, including how and when to charge the locator pack batteries, how  
to upgrade the software, and what the automatic camera tracking  
specifications are.  
This chapter also presents problems, likely causes, and corrective actions for  
the system. If you have referred to this documentation and you still are unable  
to resolve your issue, contact Polycom Technical Support. The last section of  
this chapter tells you how to do so.  
Maintaining the System  
This section describes how and when to charge the locator pack batteries,  
provides software upgrade instructions, and lists the automatic camera  
tracking specifications.  
Charging the Locator Pack Batteries  
Caution  
Battery safety is important. Please read and understand the safety  
precautions for lithium ion battery packs on page Safety and Regulatory  
Notices-1 before using or handling the locator pack batteries.  
Before using the locator pack, you must charge the battery pack inside the  
locator for three hours. Whenever you charge the locator batteries, you must  
power off the locator pack.  
For your convenience, you do not have to remove the battery pack from the  
locator pack to charge it. Simply do the following:  
1. Power off the locator pack.  
2. Connect the locator pack AC power charger and cord to each other.  
3. Connect the AC power charger to the locator pack.  
4. Connect the power cord to a wall outlet (100 to 240 VAC).

Users Guide for the Polycom PowerCam Presenter  
When the battery pack is charging, the battery LED on the top of the locator  
pack lights up red. After about three hours, the battery pack will be fully  
charged and the battery LED will change to green.  
The battery pack lasts for about 8 hours. When it needs to be recharged, the  
operating LED on the top of the locator pack begins to blink red (normally, it  
blinks green when powered on).  
Upgrading the Software  
To upgrade the PowerCam Presenter software, you need the Softupdate  
application. You may be able to get this application on CD-ROM from your  
reseller or from the Polycom web site. In either case, you must connect a  
Windows® computer with network connectivity to the controller.  
Caution  
Do not power off the system during the software upgrade process. If the  
upgrade is interrupted, the system may become unusable.  
To upgrade your software:  
1. If you need to access the Softupdate application on the web:  
a
Using a web browser, go to www.polycom.com/videosoftware and

Maintenance and Troubleshooting  
The following table lists additional automatic camera tracking specifications  
for the camera:  
Specification  
Description  
Room size  
50 feet by 50 feet (15 meters) or smaller  
Coverage angle (the  
angular range away from  
the center point that the  
camera can track to)  
Pan: +45°, -45°  
Tilt: +9°, -30°  
Pan and tilt accuracy  
Zoom accuracy  
+ or -1° at 50 feet (15 meters)  
When the person wearing the locator pack assembly  
remains within 40 feet (12 meters) from the camera,  
the camera automatically adjusts the zoom to keep  
the person framed in approximately the same way  
no matter where the person is in that range.  
Within 40 feet (12 meters) to 50 feet (15 meters), the  
camera will not automatically change the zoom  
setting.  
Ability to stay on target  
The camera stays locked onto the person wearing  
the locator pack assembly if:  
The locator has a direct line of sight to the  
camera.  
The person wearing the locator is facing within  
45° of the camera.  
If the person faces more than 45° from the  
camera, the camera will still likely stay on  
target. The closer the person is to the camera,  
the more likely it is the camera will stay on  
target.  
The locator is at least 2 feet (½ meter) from  
obstructions like a wall, monitor, table, or floor.  
Smoothness and quickness When the person wearing the locator pack assembly  
moves around a little, but still stays within the  
camera view, the camera does not move. This  
prevents unnecessary jitter in the camera position.  
When the person stops moving, the camera comes  
to rest pointing at the person within two seconds.  
When the person moves outside of the “anti-jitter  
frame”, the camera starts moving within 500 ms.

change the setting, refer to Configuring the Camera  
Tracking Area on page 2-4.  
You are facing away from  
the camera or the locator  
itself is not facing forward.  
Check that the locator is facing forward, not to the side or  
up or down. If the locator is positioned correctly, then  
make sure you face towards the camera as much as  
possible. For guidelines regarding facing the camera, see  
page 2-17.  
When automatic  
camera tracking is  
enabled, the last  
used pan, tilt, zoom  
and auto zoom  
settings are not  
saved  
This is normal system  
behavior.  
When you set a Presenter View, the Polycom PowerCam  
Presenter saves the auto zoom and framing settings for  
that Presenter View. If you then enable or disable  
automatic zooming or manually change the camera's pan,  
tilt, or zoom, the PowerCam Presenter will not  
automatically save those changes when you disable  
automatic camera tracking. Instead, when you enable  
automatic camera tracking again, the PowerCam  
Presenter will default to the settings you saved for the  
selected Presenter View.  
The camera goes to  
sleep whenever the  
VSX system goes to  
sleep  
The screen saver wait time  
on the VSX video  
conferencing system  
connected to your Polycom  
PowerCam Controller is not

Safety and Regulatory Notices  
Important Safeguards  
Read and understand the following instructions before using the system:  
Battery safety is important. Please read and understand the Safety Precautions for Lithium Ion Battery Packs  
listed in the following table before using the Polycom PowerCam Presenter.  
Close supervision is necessary when the system is used by or near children. Do not leave unattended while in  
use.  
Only use electrical extension cords with a current rating at least equal to that of the system.  
Always disconnect the system from power before cleaning and servicing and when not in use.  
Do not spray liquids directly onto the system when cleaning. Always apply the liquid first to a static free cloth.  
Do not immerse the system in any liquid or place any liquids on it.  
Do not disassemble this system. To reduce the risk of shock and to maintain the warranty on the system, a  
qualified technician must perform service or repair work.  
Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.  
Only connect the system to surge protected power outlets.  
Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
Safety Precautions for Lithium Ion Battery Packs  
CAUTION  
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by incorrect type.  
Use only the batteries provided by Polycom. Replacement batteries can be obtained from Polycom, Inc. Please  
quote the part number of your existing battery when ordering a replacement.  
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions.  
Charging  
Polycom’s locator operates on a rechargeable lithium ion battery. The battery needs to be recharged periodically.  
Use the supplied charger to recharge the battery while it is installed in the locator pack. Unlike a laptop PC or  
mobile phone, the locator pack should not be used while charged. The battery cannot be recharged outside the  
locator pack.  
Replacement by an incorrect type could result in an explosion.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Ion Battery Packs  
WARNING  
This product contains a lithium ion rechargeable battery pack. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not  
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.  
CAUTION  
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended  
by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  
Follow local regulations regarding the safe disposal of the battery. Your vendor can advise you on local regulations,  
and/or the existence of any battery disposal programs in operation.  
Safety Warnings When Using the Battery  
WARNING  
1. Misusing the battery may cause the battery to get hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury. Be sure to  
follow the safety rules listed below:  
Do not place the battery in fire or heat the battery.  
Do not install the battery backwards so that the polarity is reversed.  
Do not connect the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the battery to each other with any metal  
object (such as wire).  
Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, step on the battery, or otherwise  
subject it to strong impacts or shocks.  
Do not solder directly onto the battery.  
Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet.  
2. Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices which, if  
damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, rupture, or ignite.  
3. Do not place the battery on or near fires, stoves, or other high-temperature locations. Do not place the battery  
in direct sunshine, or use or store the battery inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to  
generate heat, rupture or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and  
shortened life expectancy.  
CAUTION  
1. Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging, or storing the battery, the battery emits an  
unusual smell, feels hot, changes color, changes shape, or appears abnormal in any other way. Contact your  
sales location or Polycom if any of these problems are observed.  
2. Do not place the batteries in microwave oven, high-pressure containers, or induction cookware.  
3. In the event that the battery leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eyes, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water  
and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

Safety Precautions for Lithium Ion Battery Packs  
Safety Warnings When Charging the Battery  
WARNING  
1. Be sure to follow the rules listed below while charging the battery. Failure to do so may cause the battery to  
become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause serious injury.  
When charging the battery, either use a specified battery charger or otherwise ensure that the battery  
charging conditions specified by Polycom are met.  
Do not attach the batteries to a power supply plug or directly to a car’s cigarette lighter.  
Do not place the batteries in or near fire, or into direct sunlight. When the battery becomes hot, the built-in  
safety equipment is activated, preventing the battery from charging further, and heating the battery can  
destroy the safety equipment and can cause additional heating, breaking, or ignition of the battery.  
2. Do not continue charging the battery if it does not recharge within the specified charging time. Doing so may  
cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite.  
CAUTION  
The temperature range over which the battery can be charged in 0oC to 45oC. Charging the battery at temperatures  
outside of this range may cause the battery to become hot or to break. Charging the battery outside of this  
temperature range may also harm the performance of the battery or reduce the battery’s life expectancy.  
Safety Warnings When Discharging the Battery  
WARNING  
Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the specified device. When the battery is used in devices  
aside from the specified device it may damage the performance of the battery or reduce its life expectancy, and if  
the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, rupture, or ignite and cause  
serious injury.  
CAUTION  
The temperature range over which the battery can be discharged is 10o to 45oC. Use of the battery outside this  
temperature range may damage the performance of the battery or may reduce its life expectancy.
