Lumens AI-BOX1 Automates Multi Camera Voice Tracking User Manual

• CamConnect is divided into 8 equal parts according to Senheisser’s horizontal angle of view. They correspond to CamConnect Azimuth Angle 1 to 8.

• If the forbidden area is enabled on the Sennheiser Control Cockpit software, the corresponding position of CamConnect will also be affected. Example: If the forbidden area is set to 0° to 60°, the audio signal from 0° to 45° of CamConnect Array Azimuth 1 and 45° to 60° of Array Azimuth 2 will be ignored.
