Multiple speakertrac camera systems on one SX-80

Joe Budz · ‎08-29-2016

Has anyone had any success connecting multiple speakertrac camera systems to one SX-80 CODEC? In the Setup>Camera section (CE8.1) in shows 7 cameras and 1 Speakertrac system. Our room is very wide and it requires 2 speakertrac systems. We currently have each speakertrac tied to its own SX-80 CODEC and we simply join each codec to a multi-point conference on a MCU5310. This works except it presents some audio issues that disallowed us from using the loudest speaker function of the MCU. On account of this one have the room is in one pane and the other have is in another - very annoying! If both speaktrac systems could connect to the same CODEC and the CODEC manage the camera selection via loudest speaker it would solve our problem. Does anyone know if this could this possibly be coming in a future firmware version?

You can only have one SpeakerTrack 60 per endpoint, it's not possible to use more than one, as it and the endpoint aren't designed that way. I doubt something like this would be implemented, the SpeakerTrack system is meant for a certain room size, and isn't meant for larger rooms where the required FOV is wider than what the cameras can detect. You'll have to reach out to your Account Manager to see what might be on the roadmap as far as features etc.
