7 Hawkeye Overview Hawkeye 480C is an optical whiteboard capture system that works with your existing whiteboard and markers. It enables you to capture, print and distribute whiteboard notes as full-color, digitally enhanced images. You can even use Hawkeye to capture, print and distribute flip chart pages that have been taped onto a whiteboard. Basically, Hawkeye consists of two parts: a fixed Camera Boom and a Control Unit. Camera Boom Control Unit Hawkeye 480C Optical Whiteboard Capture System Camera Boom The Camera Boom can be mounted above any standard whiteboard. It includes three digital cameras, each with fixed focus and auto exposure. The three cameras together are capable of capturing an image from a whiteboard as large as 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x 2.44 m). Each camera is capable of a resolution of 480 x 640 pixels. The effective resolution of the processed image from a 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x 2.44 m) whiteboard after cropping and stitching is 480 x 960 pixels. Hawkeye Overview 1

8 Control Unit The Control Unit includes an embedded processor with a built-in Web server, as well as firmware for capturing and enhancing images. It stores approximately 20 captured images at a time. A small screen on the Control Unit displays easy-to-follow instructions. Buttons on the Control Unit enable you to capture, print and organize your whiteboard images. You can connect the Control Unit to a network, thereby making your whiteboard notes available to everyone else in your organization who is connected to the network and has a Web browser. You can attach a printer to the Control Unit. You can even use Hawkeye with multiple whiteboards. As many as four Camera Booms can be controlled by one Control Unit.

9 Hawkeye Features Once it has been installed, Hawkeye is always ready. Because it simply photographs what you ve written on your whiteboard, Hawkeye is also always reliable. When you press the Capture button on the Control Unit, the digital cameras in the Camera Boom take color photographs of the notes you ve made on your whiteboard. Before the image is stored on the Control Unit, the photographs taken by the three cameras are stitched together, the background is whitened, the writing is sharpened and the color is improved. You can print the image, or if you forget to write everything on the whiteboard before you capture information, you can delete the image and capture a new one. Hawkeye can be used with or without a network connection. If the Control Unit is connected to a local area network, images are immediately available upon capture from the IP (Internet Protocol) address or host name displayed on the Control Unit. If the Control Unit isn t connected to a network, the images must be printed and distributed in hard copy. Stand-Alone Control Unit You don t need a network connection or even a computer to use Hawkeye. All you need is the Hawkeye Camera Boom and Control Unit, plus a printer. You can capture, delete and print whiteboard notes all within the same room. You can store approximately 20 images on a stand-alone Control Unit, but you can t save the images. Once you start a new session or exceed the maximum number of images allowed, previously captured images will no longer be available on the Control Unit. The images you capture on a standalone Control Unit must be distributed in hard copy. In order to do that, you ll need to attach a printer to the Control Unit. For a list of supported printers, refer to page 18. Networked Control Unit A Hawkeye Control Unit that has been connected to a network can do everything a stand-alone Control Unit can do and more. If your Control Unit is connected to a local area network, everyone in your organization with access to the network can view, save, copy and print the captured images using a Web browser. Hawkeye Overview 3

10 Installing the Camera Boom and Control Unit If you have one whiteboard in the room, you only need one Camera Boom. However, if you have more than one whiteboard, you may want to take advantage of Hawkeye s ability to control multiple Camera Booms from a single Control Unit. You can use one Control Unit to capture the notes from up to four different whiteboards by mounting a Camera Boom above each one. The installation procedure varies, depending on whether you plan to use one Camera Boom or several. NOTE: After you finish installing one or more Camera Booms and a Control Unit, you ll need to configure and calibrate the Control Unit before you can begin capturing whiteboard notes. For more information about configuring and calibrating the Control Unit, refer to pages 18 through 44. Single Camera Boom with a Control Unit To install a Camera Boom and Control Unit that captures the notes from one whiteboard, you ll need to: 1 Mount the Camera Boom on the wall. 2 Mount the Control Unit on the wall. 3 Connect the Camera Boom to the Control Unit. Multiple Camera Booms with a Control Unit The procedure for installing a Hawkeye 480C system that captures notes from multiple whiteboards is similar to the procedure for installing a system that captures notes from a single whiteboard. However, when there are multiple whiteboards, you ll need to install a Camera Boom above each whiteboard, connect the Camera Booms to each other in a daisy chain pattern and connect the last Camera Boom in the chain to the Control Unit. NOTE: When you order additional Camera Booms for your Hawkeye 480C, you may receive the Hawkeye CAM Installation and User s Guide. However, the information included in that manual does not apply to your Hawkeye 480C. 4 Installing the Camera Boom and Control Unit

11 Camera Boom Control Unit Whiteboard Multiple Camera Booms with a Control Unit NOTE: We recommend that you space whiteboards so that there is at least 12 ft (3.6 m) between the center of one whiteboard and the next.
