Hello and welcome to SeervisionáCommissioning training.
00:09
My name is Patrick Heyn andáI'm Nate Makaryk and we areáá
00:12
not going to be your hosts for this training.
00:15
Instead, we're throwing it over to our good friendáand colleague James Martin over at Q-SYS UK.
00:20
James, take it away.
00:36
Hi everyone.
00:36
James Martin here from Q-SYS UK ,
00:38
and welcome to Seervision commissioning training level one where you're going to learn everything
00:43
you need to know to put together greatásystems using Seervision and Q-SYS.
00:48
Now we're currently in theátraining center at Q-SYS UK
00:50
and we're going to be spending quite aábit of time here during the training,
00:53
but we're also going to headádownstairs to the auditorium,
00:57
which is exactly the kind of high impact space
00:59
where you might use all of theáfeatures of the Q-SYS VisionSuite.
01:03
That's automatic camera preset recall,
01:05
auto framing and now of course,
01:08
supervision for presenterátracking and room automation.
01:11
Now let's take a moment to understandáwhat makes up the Q-SYS VisionSuite
01:15
and the key technologies thatáSeervision brings to Q-SYS.
01:19
Now, when we think about the Q-SYS VisionSuite,
01:21
it's got a few key technologies in it,
01:24
but the first of these,
01:25
which is really the foundationáof everything that follows,
01:28
is our AV USB bridging solutionáand the NC series cameras.
01:33
Now remember that with the NC series we canásend video from any camera to any destination
01:38
because all of these are just networked endpoints.
01:41
Now of course we can switch this manually,
01:44
but it's the next tier of the VisionSuite which lets us automate this process.
01:48
So the next level of the VisionSuiteáis automatic camera preset recall,
01:53
and this is where the Q-SYSácore receives audio information
01:56
and angle of arrival information from certainámicrophones and links that to a camera preset.
02:03
This preset includes the selected cameraáand also a position for that camera.
02:08
And this is where another aspect ofáthe VisionSuite comes into play,
02:12
which is auto framing.
02:14
Every NC series camera nowáhas face detection on board
02:18
and can use that to automaticallyáframe participants in the view.
02:23
So using ACPR and auto framing,
02:26
we can deliver some really fantasticásolutions where we have seated participants
02:30
or for situations where we know the kindáof camera positions that we want to use.
02:35
But what about continuous presenter tracking?
02:38
Well, that is where Seervision comes in
02:41
and one of the really key technologiesáthat Seervision brings to the platform
02:46
is an extremely robust andápowerful computer vision engine.
02:50
Using that computer vision engine,
02:52
we can control and see cameras andádo continuous presenter tracking,
02:57
but we can also use informationáabout where the presenter is ináá
03:00
the scene to automate the entire AV experience.
03:05
Next, let's take some time to understand the keyáá
03:07
technologies in Seervision and how it integrates with Q-SYS.
