Course Introduction and VisionSuite Overview

Hello and welcome to SeervisionáCommissioning training.

My name is Patrick Heyn andáI'm Nate Makaryk and we areáá

not going to be your hosts for this training.

Instead, we're throwing it over to our good friendáand colleague James Martin over at Q-SYS UK.

James, take it away.

Hi everyone.

James Martin here from Q-SYS UK ,

and welcome to Seervision commissioning training level one where you're going to learn everything

you need to know to put together greatásystems using Seervision and Q-SYS.

Now we're currently in theátraining center at Q-SYS UK

and we're going to be spending quite aábit of time here during the training,

but we're also going to headádownstairs to the auditorium,

which is exactly the kind of high impact space

where you might use all of theáfeatures of the Q-SYS VisionSuite.

That's automatic camera preset recall,

auto framing and now of course,

supervision for presenterátracking and room automation.

Now let's take a moment to understandáwhat makes up the Q-SYS VisionSuite

and the key technologies thatáSeervision brings to Q-SYS.

Now, when we think about the Q-SYS VisionSuite,

it's got a few key technologies in it,

but the first of these,

which is really the foundationáof everything that follows,

is our AV USB bridging solutionáand the NC series cameras.

Now remember that with the NC series we canásend video from any camera to any destination

because all of these are just networked endpoints.

Now of course we can switch this manually,

but it's the next tier of the VisionSuite which lets us automate this process.

So the next level of the VisionSuiteáis automatic camera preset recall,

and this is where the Q-SYSácore receives audio information

and angle of arrival information from certainámicrophones and links that to a camera preset.

This preset includes the selected cameraáand also a position for that camera.

And this is where another aspect ofáthe VisionSuite comes into play,

which is auto framing.

Every NC series camera nowáhas face detection on board

and can use that to automaticallyáframe participants in the view.

So using ACPR and auto framing,

we can deliver some really fantasticásolutions where we have seated participants

or for situations where we know the kindáof camera positions that we want to use.

But what about continuous presenter tracking?

Well, that is where Seervision comes in

and one of the really key technologiesáthat Seervision brings to the platform

is an extremely robust andápowerful computer vision engine.

Using that computer vision engine,

we can control and see cameras andádo continuous presenter tracking,

but we can also use informationáabout where the presenter is ináá

the scene to automate the entire AV experience.

Next, let's take some time to understand the keyáá

technologies in Seervision and how it integrates with Q-SYS.
