CI-T21H - More Than Just a PTZ Camera

Today’s article is dedicated to a unique solution for your video conferencing, Media Capture Systems, and even regular computers, where it replaces webcam with its higher quality Full HD 1080P. It is Auto-Tracking Camera CI-T21H. This camera employs time-tested and advanced tracking technologies via IR developed by AREC, has 10x times optical zoom, 5x times digital zoom; it features numerous integral functions, such as noise reduction, wide dynamic range (WDR), auto-focus, and also, auto-zoom. With auto-zoom users can make their videos truly professional, since now they will be able to approach and move away from the camera, with the picture zoom being adjusted automatically. What makes this camera even more exciting is its specification. The camera can be connected via HDMI, IP, and USB 3.0. USB port is also 2.0 compatible.

Case Study: University of Florence

ADENA Limited together with Prase Media Technologies would like to share this new case study with you. The University of Florence is an important and influential centre for research and higher training in Italy, with 1,800 lecturers and internal research staff, 1,600 technical and administrative staff, and over 1,600 research assistants and doctoral students. The University of Florence is constantly investing in improving their services, not only from the point of view of teaching, but also from the innovation point of view by supplying the classrooms with cutting-edge Audio-Visual technology. Technological redevelopment of the first 30 classrooms began in 2018 as part of a project involving 100 teaching environments located throughout Florence.

Project design was made by Multimedia Technology team, who analysed the educational needs of the schools and teaching environments and provided a tailored solution to each one of them. The solution includes “Epson laser projection”, “Shure microphones”, “SoundTube/Tannoy sound distribution” and “AREC Media Capture System”.

AREC Media Capture System plays an integral part in this project. Lectures, events and conferences rely on Full-HD synchronized multi-source recording from 2 HDMI / VGA and IP sources of the AREC MS-650 Media Station, flanked by the CI-218 Network Camera, and driven by the TP-100 Auto-Tracking System.

According to Guido Guidi, head of the Multimedia Laboratory, AREC Media Capture Systems have already proved their worth during the previous two events held at the University of Florence – Lego Robotics Competition and the Open Day. AREC technology guarantees smooth operation within university's environment, and allows institutions to considerably increase the quality of education as perceived by students and teachers. "We chose AREC Media Station, because in addition to representing the state of the art of Media Capture solutions, it is a secure, reliable, and above all, scalable technology. These are essential characteristics for a great university such as the University of Florence", concluded Guido Guidi.

ADENA Limited in Italy and Belgium

ADENA Limited took part in partners’ event in May. Distributors from Italy and Belgium invited a group of system integrators, dealers and end users from different industries to their event to learn about AREC Media Capture System and the new Collaborative Solution - SpacesGate! In Italy, dealer’s event took place in LG showroom in Milan. The event’s idea was to provide a total solution for a meeting room or a classroom by combining AREC Media Capture System (recording/live streaming), Mersive (presenting) and Atlona (system controlling). AREC new Auto-Tracking Camera (CI-T21) was also demonstrated during this event. It caught people’s attention with its auto-zoom feature. In Belgium, the event took place in Lier. The event lasted for two days, the first day was for system integrators and dealers and the second day was for end users. They were all amazed by the new collaborative solution called SpacesGate, and video from the first-day webinar was recorded here - AREC presentation starts from the 40th minute.

In Belgium, AREC and SpacesGate technology were used together with Vaddio cameras, Vivitek screen, and Panasonic projector. AREC new Auto-Tracking Camera (CI-T21) was also displayed during this event and it was shown how good and price-competitive this compact solution is.
