Speaker Tracking

Camera automation that uses microphone arrays and face detection to frame the active speaker automatically.

Definition

Systems such as Cisco SpeakerTrack, Poly DirectorAI and Logitech RightSight locate talkers by sound and vision and switch or pan cameras smoothly. Variations include best overview, group framing and presenter tracking. Tracking performance depends on room acoustics, lighting and microphone placement.

Example

A dual-camera SpeakerTrack system cuts to the second camera as soon as a different person begins speaking.

Exam tip

Speaker tracking relies on both audio localization and video analysis.
