MODE INTRODUCTION

Stage and Segment Mode
Application
It’s suitable for a more complicated environment due to the utilization of the absolute motion
tracking algorithm. The TR530 will not be affected by the color of wood furniture or any high
bright contrast background.
Suitable for only one person in the tracking zone.
Limitation
Tracking is only available for horizontal movement. It will not auto zoom in/out for target close to
or going away from the TR530
Due to absolute motion tracking, it is unable to check who the target is or who the interference
is. It does not have anti-interference ability.
Due to the FOV limitation, the tracking zone is only available within the 120 degrees provided
by the panoramic camera.
Distance limitation <15M

FAQ
1. How to define the zoom level of tracking target?
It’s determined by Setup Object Viewing Dimension. You should stand on the assigned location as a
proportional scale and zoom in/out to the proportion that you want. The following tracking will based on
this proportion.
5. Will tracking be lost when we use the TR530 in which the projector is turned on in the
background?
Yes, it might happen in “Wide Area mode”. But we suggest to use “Stage mode” when the projector is
turned on. Stage mode can be used in any lighting conditions.
8. This camera supports several profiles; does each profile have different PRESETS?
Each profile has its own preset definition.
9. If we want to stop tracking and to focus on a specific location, what should I do?
Press "P" and the preset number. The camera will go to the assigned location.
10. In Wide area mode, I already masked the areas that might have something showing a photo
if a human being, but why the camera is still attracted to these areas?
The shielding zone is only for motion shielding. In a complicate environment, we suggest to use stage
mode to overcome it.
