BTServer

BTServer is the main core of BlackTrax system. It have pre-installed software BTWYSIWYG, Motive, BlackTrax Software suit and Device Manage; Hardware license BTX dongle and Motive dongle. Some of the key features are:

RAID 1 SSD
Redundant power supply
2 Quad-Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller (1 dedicated, 1 definable)

Controller Kit

TimeKeeper and eSync are essential components of BlackTrax system. If any of this hardware down, BlackTrax server will stop the tracking system services.

Controller kit is part for BlackTrax system to function. It Including several hardware:

TimeKeeper

TimeKeeper is a hardware that generating synchronization signal to all Classic Beacon over 2.4GHz frequency; It also send configuration command to eSync Controller via BNC cable.

Although the TimeKeeper is powered by PoE, it does not send any data through the Ethernet cable.

BTRouter

BTRouter is a hardware that receive data send by Classic Beacon includes button presses, battery status, configuration details.

eSync Controller

eSync 2 Controller receive the time signal form TimeKeeper and send to all BTSensors.

BTSensor

BTSensor is Inferred camera power by PoE. It have different model for all use case.

SLIM 13

A Inferred camera have 1280 × 1024 resolution. It can configure with 3 types of lens: 5.5 mm stock lens, 3.5 mm wide lens, 8.0 mm teleport lens. A LCD on the font will display the sensors ID and a Aiming Access button on the back is use to trigger Motive software camera focus.

BTBeacon

BTBeacon also know as Classic Beacon, is a hardware controller that can connect up to 3 Stringer. Each Stringer will emits a unique pattern for BlackTrax to determine its ID and position. It require a synchronization radio signal from TimeKeeper to function. It also send the battery status and button pressed data to BTRouter via radio signal.

Mini Beacon

Mini Beacon is a hardware emits a unique pattern for BlackTrax to determine its ID and position. Mini Beacon mush docked in Sync Dock to sync with TimeKeeper before use. It do not transmit radio signal like BTBeacon.

BTSmart Charger

BTSmart Charger is a device for charging up to 6 BTBeacons. It also provide a Ethernet connection for Device Manager to configure BTBeacons.

Sync Dock

Sync Dock is a device for charging up to 20 Mini Beacons. It require a time signal from TimeKeeper via BNC cable. It also provide a Ethernet connection for Device Manager to configure Mini Beacons.
