Hawkeye CAM Overview 1

Hawkeye CAM OverviewHawkeye CAM is an optical whiteboard capture system that works with yourexisting whiteboard and markers. It enables you to capture, save anddistribute whiteboard notes as full-color, digitally enhanced images. Youcan even use Hawkeye CAM to capture, save and distribute flip chartpages that have been taped onto a whiteboard.

Hawkeye CAM consists of two parts: a fixed Camera Boom and a Windowssoftware application that runs on your computer.

Computer(Laptop or Desktop)

Camera Boom

Hawkeye CAM Optical Whiteboard Capture System

Camera BoomThe Camera Boom can be mounted above any standard whiteboard. It includesthree digital cameras, each with fixed focus and auto exposure. The threecameras together are capable of capturing an image from a whiteboard as largeas 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x 2.44 m). Each camera is capable of a resolution of 480 x 640pixels. The effective resolution of the processed image from a 4 x 8 ft (1.22 x2.44 m) whiteboard after cropping and stitching is 480 x 960 pixels.

2 Hawkeye CAM Overview

If you have several whiteboards in the same room, you can install aseparate Camera Boom for each one. As many as four separate CameraBooms can be controlled from a single computer.

Hawkeye CAM SoftwareHawkeye CAM software enables you to control the Camera Boom fromyour computer. Once it has been installed, the Camera Boom is alwaysready. All you need to do is start the Hawkeye CAM software and you canbegin capturing ideas. Just click the Capture Image button and the noteson your whiteboard will be captured as full-color images. Hawkeye CAMautomatically enhances every image that is captured by whitening thebackground, sharpening the writing and refining the colors.

You can reorder, copy, delete, print and save captured images. You canalso import images from another file or image capturing device, providedthat the device complies with the TWAIN standard. TWAIN is an openstandard interface that makes it possible to activate a scanner, documentcamera or other image-capturing device while using a graphics application.

System RequirementsYou can use Hawkeye CAM software on a computer that meets thefollowing requirements:

• Windows 98 or 2000

• Pentium 133 MHz or higher

• 16 MB RAM (32 MB recommended)

• 30 MB of free hard disk space for complete installation

• one available IEEE 1394 6-pin port

Installing Hawkeye CAM 3

Installing Hawkeye CAMIf 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 takeadvantage of Hawkeye CAM’s ability to control multiple Camera Boomsfrom a single computer. You can use one computer to capture the notesfrom up to four different whiteboards by mounting a Camera Boom aboveeach one. The installation procedure varies, depending on whether youplan to use one Camera Boom or several.

NOTE: After you finish installing Hawkeye CAM, you’ll need to calibrateeach Camera Boom before you begin capturing whiteboard notes. Formore information about calibrating a Camera Boom, refer to pages 12through 14.

Single Camera BoomTo install a Hawkeye CAM system that captures the notes from onewhiteboard, you’ll need to:

1 Mount the Camera Boom on the wall.

2 Connect the Camera Boom to your computer.

3 Install the Hawkeye CAM software.

Multiple Camera BoomsThe procedure for installing a Hawkeye CAM system that captures notesfrom multiple whiteboards is similar to the procedure for installing a systemthat captures notes from a single whiteboard. However, when there aremultiple whiteboards, you’ll need to install a Camera Boom above eachwhiteboard, connect the Camera Booms to each other in a daisy chainpattern and connect the last Camera Boom in the chain to your computer.

Unpacking and Checking ComponentsUnpack the contents of the shipping container, checking each itemremoved against the shipping checklist. If any items are missing, contactSMART Technical Support.

Hawkeye CAM includes the following:

• a Camera Boom with a mounting template and wall bracket

• a 6-pin to 6-pin IEEE 1394 cable

• Hawkeye CAM software installation CD attached to the inside cover ofthis manual

Recommended ToolsHave the following tools on hand when installing Hawkeye CAM:

• Phillips No. 2 screwdriver

• bubble level

• measuring tape

• security hex-head Allen key (supplied)


Mounting a Camera Boom on the WallIf you’re planning to use multiple Camera Booms, repeat these instructionsfor each one.

Step 1: Mark the drywall anchor locations1 Measure the width of the whiteboard and use a pencil to mark on the wall

the center location of the whiteboard. Make the pencil mark immediatelyabove the top edge of the whiteboard.

2 Fold the Camera Boom template along the score line, making sure thefold is straight. Rest the folded template on top of the whiteboard and usethe diamond-shaped window to align the template with the center markabove the whiteboard. Make sure that the corner fold is snug against thewall and top edge of the whiteboard.

Step 2: Fasten the wall bracket to the wall1 Using a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver, thread E-Z toggle drywall anchors into

marked locations that aren’t at a wall stud. Don’t use a hammer to forcethe E-Z toggle drywall anchors into the wall.

NOTE: The supplied drywall anchors are not suitable for walls thicker than5/8" (1.59 cm). If the wall is constructed of drywall thicker than 5/8" (1.59cm), use E-Z drywall anchors for double-layer drywall.

If the marked location is at a wall stud, use a No. 8 by 1.5" (3.81 cm) longwood screw or a self-drilling metal screw without a drywall anchor.

2 Align the Camera Boom wall bracket with the drywall anchors. Insertscrews into E-Z toggle drywall anchors as follows:

a Using the Phillips screwdriver, press the screw firmly into the drywallanchor until approximately 1/3 of the screw remains.

b Thread the remaining length of the screw into the drywall anchor untilit’s tight. At first the screw will thread with unusual ease, but it willgradually require greater effort as the clamp inside the wall movesforward.

12 Calibrating Hawkeye CAM

Calibrating Hawkeye CAMThe Camera Boom houses three digital cameras. Each camera captures aportion of the notes on your whiteboard. After the notes have beencaptured, the three images are stitched together into a single snapshot andexcess wall surface that was captured by the cameras is cropped. Duringthis process, the image is normalized and keystoning is corrected. Theprocesses used to stitch, crop, normalize and otherwise improve imagequality occur automatically each time you press the Capture Image button.

All you need to do is calibrate the Camera Boom. Under mostcircumstances, you only need to calibrate a Camera Boom once beforeyou use it to capture whiteboard notes for the first time. However, if theCamera Boom or whiteboard is moved, you may need to repeat thecalibration process.

To calibrate a Camera Boom, you’ll need to complete the following twotasks:

1 Refine how images from the three cameras are aligned during stitching(pages 12 through 14).

2 Define the frame used to crop the captured image (page 14).

Refining Image AlignmentThe image alignment parameters assigned to your Camera Boom duringmanufacturing may not reflect the exact position of your Camera Boomonce it’s mounted on the wall. To ensure that the images taken by thethree digital cameras inside the Camera Boom are stitched together withprecision, you’ll need to refine image alignment.

To refine image alignment:1 Select Alignment from the Hawkeye CAM menu.

2 If more than one Camera Boom is connected to your computer, theSelect a Board dialog box will appear. Click the button for the Boardyou want.

Calibrating Hawkeye CAM 13

NOTE: The images displayed in the Select a Board dialog box are onlyprovided to help you select a whiteboard. They have not undergone theimage improvement processing normally provided by Hawkeye. Afteryou finish refining image alignment, these images will be deletedautomatically.

3 Identify the area of the whiteboard on which you’ll write sample text.Using a dry-erase marker, mark the center of the whiteboard at the topof the writing surface. Make two more marks at the top of the writingsurface, each mark approximately 2 ft (0.5 m) from the center.

Step 1: Mark the center of the whiteboard.

Step 2: Make two more marks, each approximately 2 ft (0.5 m) from the center.
