Chatper5 Microphone Settings
Please check the supported devices for the CamConnect Pro on the Lumens website. Below are examples. Compatibility is not limited to these Microphones.
Before AI-Box1 installation, third-party microphone systems may require configuration in their software.
5.1 Sennheiser
When using TCC2 with CamConnect, please set and configure the channels on the Sennheiser Control Cockpit software first. CamConnect is divided into 8 equal parts according to Sennheiser’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.
5.2 Shure
Suitable for large-area positioning when Shure Designer Automatic coverage is On.
If more accurate positioning is required, it’s suggested to disable Automatic coverage, adjust Gain value/Position manually, reduce beamforming angle, to achieve more accurate positioning
