EdelKrone Add-ons for HeadPLUS v3 Bundle

What the bundle includes

• Vision Module — tracks faces and objects in the camera image from the HDMI output and sends a live view wirelessly to the edelkrone App.
• Focus/Zoom Module v3 — a geared motor turns the lens focus or zoom ring and stores its positions together with the movement of the head.
• Laser Module — a laser rangefinder measures the distance from the camera to the target, so you set a Point Tracking point at a single press.

Batteries are not included.

Vision Module

The Vision Module sees what your camera sees (HDMI Connection) and takes control of HeadPLUS to follow moving faces or objects in your video. Vision Module also wirelessly streams your video feed to any edelkrone App with almost no delay.

Face & Object Tracking

You can start Face Tracking whenever a face is in the frame. Once activated, HeadPLUS will automatically pan and tilt to keep the face centered in the upper third of the frame.

Tap anywhere on screen to reposition the face

During face tracking, you have the flexibility to reposition the face within the frame by tapping anywhere on the screen. The system will keep the face there.

Search for a new face

Additionally, you can use the left and right direction buttons to switch to a different face in that direction. Once pressed, Vision Module will search for the next face in that direction. If no faces are currently present within the frame, HeadPLUS will pan until a new face is located, at which point it will automatically initiate tracking for that face.

Object tracking

Object Tracking can be triggered any time by pressing the object tracking button. Once pressed, you need to drag-select the object you want and then press DONE. Object tracking starts immediately.

Face tracking is only compatible with PAL cameras and only works on horizontal video setups; vertical video is not supported.

Focus/Zoom Module

The module attaches to the rods next to the lens, meshes with the focus or zoom ring and HeadPLUS controls it just like its own pan and tilt axes. Lens positions are stored on the Keypose and Point buttons and always return to exactly the same place.

Laser Module

Instant Point Teaching

Without the module, you teach a point by aiming at it with your camera from two separate angles while the App guides you step by step. The Laser Module measures the distance from the camera to the target itself, so HeadPLUS knows where the point is right after the first aim.
