I need to dasiy chanin 4 Precision HD 1080 p cameras to a C90.  I found that the maximum cable length between cameras is 20 meters.  I don't think that will be long enough for two of the cameras.  Is it possible to run all the camera control cables back to the rack and connect them togther with a hub or switch?  If so would the cable length be measured from that hub? Thank you

Hi Oleksandr, Unfortunately testing with HDMI repeaters is not in our standard test bed, and hence we have not done any more testing on this the last few years. However since the camera is outputting a standard HDMI signal I would expect most HDMI repeaters out there to work. It could be that some of them doesn't like the fact that we don't support HDCP, but standard wise it should not be a problem. I would recommend to test out a few and use the one you like the best. Otherwise I'm sure Vaddio will ship to Ukraine even though they are not represented there. CHeers Roger

Hi Roger Can you recommend other additional HDMI extender for PHD-1080p ? I tried using Kramer PT571/572. But they do not work consistently... Vaddio is not represented in our country (ukraine). br Oleksandr

Hi Jonas, Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi Erwan, yes, you can daisy chain 3 cameras, Regards, Jonas

I was a bit quick in my reply: The new and further improved camera SW has not been release yet, but will be released in upcoming TC6. Jonas

Hi Brad, we have seen some variation between cameras, and we have improved the zoom control in later software ID40080 for the PrecisionHD 12x camera. The SW version can be read out from the camera information, either on the web interface, the OSD, or by using the xAPI. The new camera software will ship with upcoming TC6. If the system still experiencing issues with the zoom, you might have a defect on your camera. The Cisco and Tandberg branded cameras should work equally good. Cheers, Jonas

Hi Jarrod, that is good to hear. We did a further improvement in the same way on TC5.1.3, as we observed that some cameras still experienced problems when recalling presets with TC5.1.2. Jonas

Hi Bob, it is not possible to turn the camera off using VISCA. Cheers, Jonas

Hello everyone!   One of our customers called in about the same issue.  The camera returns a response like it accepted the command, but as Jason pointed out, it only appears as if the camera auto-focused.  I am attaching a pic of the commands and responses, as well as a video of the issue in action.  The video can be viewed with VLC Player.  Upgrading the codec/camera to the latest software had no change in the issue.   Is the power-off command working as intended, or is the command broken, or is the command string different than what is published?   Thanks!

I had the same issue with a Profile Dual 65 running TC5.1.2 software. after upgrading to TC 5.1.3 the problem went away

Hi Joel, have you ever tested the EagleEye in a real world meeting scenario? Just curious because the demos I have seen are very rehearsed with participants being very disciplined either always looking directly into the camera or making sure that only one participant is talking. Not quite your average meeting. In addition you have the slightly irritating movement of the camera in the room you are sitting in. On the other hand it is no doubt that the concept is interesting. We are of course always looking at enhancing our products, however we do not give forecasts on new products. An integrator would be able to make something similar using a C60 or C90 today with two cameras, several microphones and a control system using the codecs API. The API can give feedback on the microphones signal levels. Sampling these numbers gives which microphone is picking up the most noise and can then trigger a camera preset or setting absolute position to the tracking camera and then switching the layout. Cheers, David

The EagleEye Director is the best product I've seen from Polycom. The voice-tracking and facial recognition work amazingly well. There is no doubt the benefit this brings to large room video meetings. Have inquired frequently about Cisco developing a similar technology and so far we have no confirmation that this is underway.
