Where should we define the aperture for a tracked camera for Aximmetry DE with Unreal?
There does not seem to be a setting. All the other camera data comes from the tracking system.
Aperture setting with tracked cameras?

You can set it in the UE5 editor by adjusting the CineCamera actor used the the Tracked Camera blueprint. What would be the reason for adjusting it in real-time?

Hi,
Aximmetry 2025.2.0 BETA has just been released.
This update introduces general handling of camera aperture settings throughout the system:
- Calibration Profiles now can contain a mapping between the raw Iris Encoder values and the F-number (called Aperture throughout the system). It can be edited in the Basic Calibrator app (or directly in the XML file).
- Iris encoder value is read from protocols that support it. (Free-D officially does not support it, but some tracking systems like HTC Vive Mars use the spare "user" field for that purpose, and Aximmetry reads that.)
- Some camera tracking systems and protocols are capable of sending the final aperture value (Canon CV Protocol, NCam, Trackmen, AGTP). In these cases this value is used.
- For Virtual Camera paths, the aperture values can be defined for the A, B points both by mouse combination (Alt + Space + Right Mouse) or numerically.
- Record_3-Audio: aperture is added as an animated user property to the FBX.
Warmest regards,
