Voice Based PTZ Control
When using Panasonic PTZ cameras with Sennheiser microphones for audio-based tracking, the PTZ cameras can automatically switch focus between different speakers. With automated and smooth camera panning, it’s ideal for online conferences, training courses or lectures when questions are asked from the floor, or a new person speaks at the conference table for example.
The solution uses Panasonic PTZ cameras, TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphones from Sennheiser and a special module development from Systemhaus Pauly. They are managed centrally by a controller via the network, using a media control system such as the CP3 from Crestron.

AV AUDIO TRACKING
Audio-based tracking opens up a range of new possibilities and can be used in conjunction with Panasonic’s existing Auto-Tracking Software (AW-SF100 / AW-SF200). The systems are complimentary with each other, for example at a conference when a main speaker can be recorded via auto-tracking by a PTZ camera while other participants are filmed with a second camera when they speak using audio-based tracking.
