Hawkeye Overview 1

Hawkeye OverviewHawkeye 480C is an optical whiteboard capture system that works with yourexisting whiteboard and markers. It enables you to capture, print and distributewhiteboard notes as full-color, digitally enhanced images. You can even useHawkeye to capture, print and distribute flip chart pages that have been tapedonto a whiteboard.

Basically, Hawkeye consists of two parts: a fixed Camera Boom and a ControlUnit.

Camera Boom

Control Unit

Hawkeye 480C 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 Overview

Control UnitThe Control Unit includes an embedded processor with a built-in Webserver, as well as firmware for capturing and enhancing images. It storesapproximately 20 captured images at a time. A small screen on theControl Unit displays easy-to-follow instructions. Buttons on the ControlUnit enable you to capture, print and organize your whiteboard images.

You can connect the Control Unit to a network, thereby making yourwhiteboard notes available to everyone else in your organization who isconnected to the network and has a Web browser. You can attach aprinter to the Control Unit. You can even use Hawkeye with multiplewhiteboards. As many as four Camera Booms can be controlled by oneControl Unit.

Hawkeye Overview 3

Hawkeye FeaturesOnce it has been installed, Hawkeye is always ready. Because it simplyphotographs what you’ve written on your whiteboard, Hawkeye is also alwaysreliable.

When you press the Capture button on the Control Unit, the digital cameras inthe Camera Boom take color photographs of the notes you’ve made on yourwhiteboard. Before the image is stored on the Control Unit, the photographstaken 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 captureinformation, you can delete the image and capture a new one.

Hawkeye can be used with or without a network connection. If the ControlUnit is connected to a local area network, images are immediately availableupon capture from the IP (Internet Protocol) address or host name displayedon the Control Unit. If the Control Unit isn’t connected to a network, theimages must be printed and distributed in hard copy.

Stand-Alone Control UnitYou don’t need a network connection or even a computer to use Hawkeye. Allyou need is the Hawkeye Camera Boom and Control Unit, plus a printer. Youcan capture, delete and print whiteboard notes all within the same room.

You can store approximately 20 images on a stand-alone Control Unit, butyou can’t save the images. Once you start a new session or exceed themaximum number of images allowed, previously captured images will nolonger be available on the Control Unit. The images you capture on a stand-alone Control Unit must be distributed in hard copy. In order to do that, you’llneed to attach a printer to the Control Unit. For a list of supported printers,refer to page 18.

Networked Control UnitA Hawkeye Control Unit that has been connected to a network can doeverything a stand-alone Control Unit can do and more. If your Control Unit isconnected to a local area network, everyone in your organization with accessto the network can view, save, copy and print the captured images using aWeb browser.

4 Installing the Camera Boom and Control Unit

Installing the Camera Boom andControl 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 takeadvantage of Hawkeye’s ability to control multiple Camera Booms from asingle Control Unit. You can use one Control Unit to capture the notes fromup to four different whiteboards by mounting a Camera Boom above eachone. The installation procedure varies, depending on whether you plan touse one Camera Boom or several.

NOTE: After you finish installing one or more Camera Booms and aControl Unit, you’ll need to configure and calibrate the Control Unit beforeyou can begin capturing whiteboard notes. For more information aboutconfiguring and calibrating the Control Unit, refer to pages 18 through 44.

Single Camera Boom with a Control UnitTo install a Camera Boom and Control Unit that captures the notes fromone 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 UnitThe procedure for installing a Hawkeye 480C 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 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.

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 markimmediately above 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 anduse the diamond-shaped window to align the template with the centermark above the whiteboard. Make sure that the corner fold is snugagainst the wall and top edge of the whiteboard.

CAUTION: There must be at least 17" (43 cm) clearance between thetop of the whiteboard and the ceiling.

Step 2: Fasten the wall bracket to the wall

1 Using a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver, thread E-Z toggle drywall anchors intomarked 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 thickerthan 5/8" (1.59 cm). If the wall is constructed of drywall thicker than 5/8"(1.59 cm), 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 without a drywall anchor.

2 Align the Camera Boom wall bracket with the drywall anchors. Insertscrews into the 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.

NOTE: If you plan to fasten screws to a steel wall stud, you mustpurchase appropriate self-drilling metal screws.

26 Configuring a Networked Control Unit

Configuring a Networked ControlUnit

It’s easier to share the information captured from your whiteboard when yourControl Unit is connected to a network. When the Control Unit has a networkconnection, anyone within the network can view, print, copy and save thewhiteboard images using a Web browser. This section explains how toconfigure a Control Unit that will be connected to a network. For informationabout configuring a Control Unit that won’t be used with a network, refer topages 18 through 25.

The procedure for configuring a networked Control Unit varies, depending onwhether IP addresses are assigned dynamically by the DHCP (Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol) or manually by a systems administrator using Static IP.

DHCP NetworkTo configure a Control Unit that will be used on a DHCP network, you’ll need toperform the following three tasks:

1 Connect the Control Unit to the network (page 27).


3 Change Control Unit configuration settings, as needed (pages 32through 36).

Static IP NetworkTo configure a Control Unit that will be used on a Static IP network, you’llneed to perform the following five tasks:


2 Set up a computer for assigning a Static IP address (pages 31 through 32).

3 Use that computer to change Control Unit configuration settings, asneeded (pages 32 through 36).

4 Disconnect the computer used to configure the Control Unit (page 36).

5 Connect the Control Unit to the network (page 27).

You can now use this computer to assign a Static IP Address andchange other configuration settings on your Control Unit as explainedon pages 32 through 36.

Configuring the Control UnitTo configure the Control Unit, you’ll need to:

1 Access the Configuration Web page.

2 Change the Admin Password attached to the Configuration Web page.

3 Change the network settings on your Control Unit.

4 Adjust the date and time settings on your Control Unit, if needed.


To access the Configuration Web page:NOTE: If your network uses Static IP addresses, you may need to disablethe proxy server on the Web browser before you’ll be able to access theConfiguration Web page.

1 Open a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or NetscapeCommunicator. If your network uses DHCP, you can use anycomputer connected to the same network as the Control Unit.However, if your network uses Static IP, you must use a computer thathas been set up to network with the Control Unit in isolation. Forinformation about setting up a computer for this purpose, refer topages 31 through 32.

You can determine whether your network uses DHCP by checking theIP Address that appears on the right side of the Control Unit screen. Ifthe IP Address is any number other than “192.168.1.10”, then yournetwork uses DHCP. “192.168.1.10” is the factory default IP Addressassigned to every Control Unit during manufacturing. The factorydefault Host Name is “hawksetup”.

2 Enter the IP Address or Host Name that appears on the right side ofthe Control Unit screen, plus “/config” in the Address box in the Webbrowser. For example, if the IP Address of your Control Unit was“102.123.1.11”, you would enter “102.123.1.11/config”.

The IP Address assigned to every Control Unit during manufacturing is“192.168.1.10”. Use this address if you have a Static IP network.

The Enter Network Password dialog box will appear.

3 Enter “admin” as the User Name. If this is the first time you’veaccessed the Configuration page, leave the Password blank.Otherwise, enter the Password that you assigned.
