The Geo-Pointing Module (PTU-DGPM) is an intelligent module that allows any Directed Perception pan-tilt unit to be commanded using latitude, longitude, altitude coordinates (geo-coordinates or GPS coordinates). Once configured, it accepts geo-coordinates over the built-in Ethernet/IP interface and automatically commands the pan-tilt to aim at the corresponding location. This is a powerful capability that greatly simplifies systems integration and allows efficient coordination of multiple sensors and systems. Several cameras/sensors can be easily commanded to look at a single position by simply sending the same GPS command to all PTU-DGPM-enabled pan-tilt units. The Geo-Pointing Module allows control of Directed Perception pan-tilts from any geo-spatial or map-based user interface (e.g., Google Earth).

• Automatic pointing with GPS coordinates
• Simplifies System Integration (slew-to-queue, radar, telemetry)
• General Ethernet/IP interface to any pan-tilt
