SimplTrack3: Effortless Motion Tracking
The HuddleCamHD SimplTrack3 makes producing high-quality conferences or lectures easier than ever with no required camera operator or expertise. Smooth, automatic motion tracking up to 55ft away with focus up to 20X in 1080p at 60fps with up to 270° rotation and 59.5° FoV. Connect the SimplTrack3 to any computer with the included USB 3.0 cable. The SimplTrack3 now supports PoE; one simple ethernet cable can power your dual-sensor camera!

Auto-Tracking and Auto-Framing
The SimplTrack3’s advanced auto-tracking and auto-framing features can easily toggle* between tracking a lecturer and framing groups of people in the scene, making it an ideal solution for conference settings or classroom interactions. The SimplTrack3’s Smart Auto-Tracking technology intelligently locks onto the subject, ignoring other moving objects and adjusting to changes.

Easily toggle Auto-Tracking OR Auto-Framing ON/OFF. Toggle between manual PTZ controls and automated PTZ movements with a simple command. These commands can be sent to the included software or one of our joystick controllers.

Zone Management
The Tracking Zone encompasses the entire area where an auto-tracking subject might move across your frame. It’s designed to ensure smooth tracking of the presenter or lecturer, covering a wide range and offering flexibility in movement.

The Blocking Zone is strategically set in areas that could cause unwanted tracking, such as near doorways, whiteboards, or TV screens. This zone is crucial for preventing the camera from auto-tracking irrelevant movements or individuals passing by, ensuring the focus remains on the main subject. The SimplTrack3 contains 8 blocking zones.

The Preset Zone represents an innovative feature where an automated preset is triggered when the camera enters a selected area. This could include switching to a separate camera, activating a stage light, or any other preset tailored to enhance the presentation or lecture experience. The SimplTrack3 contains 8 preset zones.

Customizability
With SimplTrack3, you can automate camera controls and quickly adapt to any unique workflow. Customized tracking sensitivity options allow for the complete customization of the zoom level, pan/tilt speeds, and automatic operations to match the educator’s presentation style. Manual Mode can be enabled, allowing you to operate the SimplTrack3 with the included IR remote, a PTZ camera joystick controller, or camera control apps

Set & Forget
The HuddleCamHD SimplTrack3 caters to various user preferences in its auto-tracking functionality, allowing for a straightforward and simple setup with a single button. For users desiring more control, the SimplTrack3 also offers the capability for more complex setups, enabling detailed adjustment and fine-tuning of the tracking process

Dual-Sensor
The dual-sensor system offers superior flexibility and performance in diverse environments, from classrooms to auditoriums. Designed with two sensors, the camera can simultaneously monitor the entire room while tracking a single subject, providing viewers with a comprehensive view of the scene. Enjoy the flexibility of a 20X optical zoom lens that brings clarity to every shot, even from afar, ideal for capturing classroom or lecture hall environments. SimplTrack3 offers multiple video outputs – SDI, HDMI, USB, IP (including NDI), and an additional output from the wide-angle reference camera

Designed for Scalability
The SimplTrack3 comes with HuddleCamHD’s dedicated management software, enabling large-scale deployments to configure and remotely control a network of cameras on the same LAN. It offers a broad range of output options, including USB, IP, SDI, and HDMI compatibility, allowing seamless integration with your current system.

The SimplTrack3 is designed for versatile recording options, offering the ability to simultaneously record with its main lens, reference lens, or both. Its advanced dual-sensor system enables simultaneous capture of a wide-angle video feed from the reference lens and a detailed close-up tracking shot from the main lens. This dual-sensor functionality provides extensive coverage and adaptability, making it ideal for various recording scenarios.

First Impression: HuddleCamHD SimplTrack2 PTZ Camera with NDI https://news.broadfield.com/first-impression-huddlecamhd-simpltrack2-ptz-camera-with-ndi/ Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:30:00 +0000 https://news.broadfield.com/?p=19427 Mark Foley of Church Production recently gave his first impression of the HuddleCamHD SimpleTrack2 PTZ Camera with NDI. HuddleCamHD announced earlier this year that the SimplTrack2 auto-tracking PTZ camera will have an NDI upgrade available. This is huge news for house of worship production. Foley says “The addition of NDI is going to save your church time and money and allow you to expand your worship outreach and your capabilities in production. Honestly, just the time you will save in cabling with be worth it.”

Foley has experienced the troubles houses of worship can run into during the production. This is why he believed the NDI upgrade can make all the difference.

“The point is, once you install the control software for each camera you can expand what you (or the ministry) are trying to accomplish! No running extra cabling, revamping your system, or having to become a rocket scientist when it comes to extending the value of what you already may have in your church or, in this case, churches. So, the tasks at hand are programming your camera moves if you are using SimplTrack 2 and loading in the NDI License. It really is a no brainer. It’s going to save your church time and money and allow you to expand your worship outreach and your capabilities in production. Honestly, just the time you will save in cabling with be worth it.”

Mark Foley

Current owners of the SimplTrack2 can download and install the latest control software to get the NDI upgrade now. The pre-licensed NDI SimplTrack2 are on track to begin shipping in early 2022.
