Review Summary
2021-04-04T05:46:07
The auto tracking software itself is very capable, when paired with a GPU for advanced tracking (We are running on a nVidia RTX 2060) the tracking is smooth and fast. It does not track well if there are a too many other people in frame, but the spec sheet also fully discloses that. After using it for the trial period we were very happy with the software, it tracked our speakers on stage very effectively and much more consistently than any of our human operators. There are still areas for improvement, manual camera control is a mixed bag, facial recognition isn't always effective. It would be nice to have some options to fine tune the tracking. For example if the software loses the intended target, but starts tracking another person, I can switch back to our actual speaker by clicking on them - when doing so the camera will pan and zoom as fast as it can to the new person in a very jarring manner. It would be nice if it were a bit more natural in the target acquisition. For that reason I would have rated this software 4/5 stars. The reason this review has two stars removed is down to fulfillment. Approaching the end of our trial period (just a few weeks left), we decided to purchase the software. It was offered as a digital download here, so I expected immediate fulfillment. Instead I was notified after purchase that it would be 'drop shipped' by manufacturer. Three weeks later, I still do not have my activation code and the trial has now expired. Neither Panasonic or Adorama have been able to answer my questions about when I would receive the software.
