- What You Need
- Audio-Technica Microphone Setting tips
- CamConnect Pro setting tips
Set up Environment
Please connect Cameras, Microphone, and AI-BOX1 with the same Network Switch.
Network Diagram Description:
This diagram illustrates the network setup. It shows multiple cameras, an Audio-Technica ATND1061 microphone unit, and an AI-BOX1 all connected via Ethernet to a PoE+ Switch (802.3at). The PoE+ Switch is connected to a LAN. A PC is connected to the switch via Ethernet, receiving video via UVC output (USB) and audio/video via HDMI output from the AI-BOX1. A Display is connected to the PC. A Control system is connected via Ethernet. A Mouse and Keyboard are connected to the PC. Cable specifications are provided: Ethernet (Cat.5e or above), HDMI (HDMI 2.0), USB (Type-C to Type-A). The AI-BOX1 is powered by USB Type-C (5V/4A).
Multiple Microphones Setup
Based on the ATND1061 characteristic, it is recommended to install microphones not just in the center, but also in the front, middle, and rear of the conference table for optimal coverage. The following diagram provides an example.
Conference Room Layout Diagram Description:
This diagram depicts a conference room setup for multiple microphones. The room dimensions are approximately 10 meters by 5 meters. A long conference table (approximately 8.5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide) is shown. Three Audio-Technica ATND1061 microphones are placed along the table, labeled Mic 1, Mic 2, and Mic 3. PTZ cameras are positioned at each end of the table. An AI-Box1 and a PoE Switch are located near one end, connected to a Maxhub device via USB. The diagram indicates distances and component placements.
What You Need
- CamConnect Pro FW should be v1.10.X above (currently using Beta FW v12.10.11).
- ATND1061DAN/LK FW should be 1.3.1 above. (Latest FW can be downloaded from the Audio-Technica official website).
- Digital microphone manager should be 1.4.3 above. (Latest FW can be downloaded from the Audio-Technica official website).
Audio-Technica Microphone Setting Tips
Cover Zone Setting
The effective coverage zone (represented as a square) should be within the microphone's pickup area (represented as a circle). If multiple microphones are used, it is crucial to separate their coverage zones to prevent them from triggering each other incorrectly.
Zone Diagrams Description:
The diagrams illustrate zone settings. The first shows a single square zone contained within a circular pickup area. The second shows two overlapping circular pickup areas, each with a square zone inside, demonstrating how to adjust zones to avoid overlap and ensure accurate triggering.
System Setting (Important!)
- Click ⚙️ [Settings & Maintenance] => [System Settings] => [Network] => [IP Control Settings].
- Turn on [Notification] ?.
- Turn on [Audio Level Notification] ? & [Camera Control Notification] ?.
- If there are two or more microphones, please ensure their [Multicast Port Number] is different for each microphone. For example: Mic A is 17000, Mic B is 17001, Mic C is 17002, and so on.
CamConnect Pro Setting Tips
Support Device & Settings
Go to the Camconnect Pro webpage (enter the Camconnect Pro IP address in your browser).
- From the Device dropdown, select [Audio-Technica:ATND1061(Coordinate)].
- Enter the IP address of the Audio-Technica ATND1061, click in a blank area, and then press [Apply] ✔️.
- Switch the [Connect] button ▶️ to establish the connection with ATND1061.
Device Connection Interface Description:
This screenshot shows the 'Array Microphone' settings panel in CamConnect Pro. It includes fields for selecting the Device (e.g., Audio-Technica ATND1061), entering the Device IP and Port, and a Connect button. Below are settings for 'Time to Trigger Preset', 'Back to Home Time', 'Back To Home Camera', and 'Back To Home Position'. Numbered callouts (1, 2, 3) highlight key interface elements for device selection, IP entry, and connection.
Advanced Setting
Configure advanced audio and camera behavior settings.
- Audio Trigger Level (dB):
- Triggered only when the audio source exceeds a set dB value.
- Audio-Technica range: 0~60 (recommended 30).
- Time to Trigger Preset:
- This function makes the camera start moving to a preset point only after a person's voice is detected for a certain duration.
- Range is 0.1~5 seconds (recommended 1 second).
Advanced Settings Interface Description:
This screenshot displays the 'Array Microphone' settings, focusing on 'Time to Trigger Preset' and 'Back to Home Time'. Numbered callouts (1, 2) point to these specific settings, which can be adjusted within specified ranges.
Zone Setting
- Enable Zone and click [Zone Setting] ⚙️.
- Start setting the zone. Zone1 corresponds to Channel1, and so on. To set the zone, speak at the desired location; a red point will appear. The zone should be configured to cover these red points. It is recommended to make the zone as large as necessary. After finishing, click [Apply] ✔️.
Zone Setting Interface Description:
This screenshot shows the 'Zone Mode' interface for setting up audio pickup zones. It includes controls for 'Voice tracking area range' and 'Mic. Zone' operations. A grid represents the area, and users can draw zones to correspond to specific microphones or channels. The 'Device & Camera Mapping' section allows enabling zones and accessing the 'Zone Setting' function. Numbered callouts (1, 2) highlight the 'Enable Zone' toggle and the 'Zone Setting' button, and the zone drawing area.
Multiple Mic Zone Setting
If more than one microphone is connected simultaneously, pay close attention to the Zone settings to prevent audio from triggering repeated activations in overlapping areas. If overlap occurs, adjust the zones to avoid these areas.
Multiple Microphone Zone Diagrams Description:
These diagrams illustrate the challenge of setting zones for multiple microphones. The left diagram shows a single microphone's zone. The right diagram shows two overlapping microphone zones, with a red circle indicating a potential conflict where audio might trigger both zones. This highlights the need to adjust zones to prevent such overlaps.
