• Power the camera using PoE+ from your network switch or inject 12V DC per your installation plan. If using PoE, verify switches support the appropriate standards and provide adequate wattage for the camera and any accessories.
• Configure the camera in your control system: set up PTZ presets, adjust white balance, exposure, and gamma, and program any desired scenes or camera moves. Test pan, tilt, and zoom to confirm smooth operation and ensure accurate framing from the intended seating or lectern positions.
• Perform a final calibration of color and exposure for the room’s lighting conditions. Save presets for quick changes during presentations, and document the configuration for future maintenance or expansion.
• Run a full test with your AV workflow: switch between shots, verify HDMI/USB/IP streaming paths, and confirm compatibility with your conferencing platform or streaming encoder.
