Interview Tracking
Interview Tracking allows you to place down your AXIBO pan tilt unit and start a tracking interview with just the quick touch of a button. This is great when your setting up your camera as a second camera in an interview shot, this will help you get dynamic movement for more interesting shots.
Running Interview Tracking

Click the "Interview With Tracking" button.
If your slider has not been calibrated then make sure to do so using the button "Calib" button in the Joystick menu. The slider will then go to the motor end of the slider and calibrate off of that position, and then go to the start zero position.
If there is a person on the onboard camera or the HDMI feed, then all you need to do is press the "Start Track" button. It will show green dots on the person so you will know they are selected for tracking. Once you start tracking, there will be a white box around the person.
The buttons on the left above the slider speed allow you to enable and disable the axes. Just press the name of the axis to disable the axis. When the button is dark blue, the axis is disabled. When it is a light blue the axis is enabled.
The slider speed allows you to adjust the speed of the slider as it moves back and forth.
