Multi machine for multi camera tracking

 

Hello,

Now I setup for multi machine envirement that using 3 tracking CAM in 3 engine.

But following your guide but I can not see ENGINE INPUT to choose local and remote in Trackcam INPUT.

Could you please guide me how to use it.

I see it is only available in Virtual Camera.

Regards,

Thach

Hi Thach,

You can disregard that in tracked cameras.

Since Aximmetry Version 2024.2.0, the tracked cameras (AR, LED Wall, and tracked green cameras) do not have an Engine setting for the INPUT panels. Instead, they are also defined by the SELECT CAMERA's engine parameters.

You have to specify the engine for INPUT in the Virtual Camera if you want to see billboards from other computers. Since only one INPUT per billboard (A, B, and C) is possible in tracked cameras, the engine parameter from INPUT has been removed.

Warmest regards,

Hi,

I run Axim Launcher Program  and render config in remote program. I set CAM 1 is local render, CAM2, CAM3 are remote sender . When I start Broadcast DE in CAM 1 then it can see remote2 , remote 3 are idle and I also set index to 2 (CAM2) 3 (CAM3) but When  I start projects then It does not launch in Engine 2  and Engine 3 as old version and output of render 2 and render 3 does not have video output.

Do you have document for new version that using for multi rendering tracking machine

Regards,

Thach

Hi Thach,

You might have different versions of Aximmetry on the remote engines. Make sure that the other engines (computers) are using the same Aximmetry version and the same Common library as the controller machine (computer).

Additionally, note that the output of the engines will not be visible on the controller machine. Each machine is responsible for its own input and output. These videos are not shared between the computers, so you will need to use a switcher device to switch between these final outputs or for example use another computer as a switcher. Of course, while setting up the system, you can connect a monitor to each computer to function as a debug screen or dummy output.

Warmest regards,

HI,

Currently, I use 2024.2 Broadcast DE for 3 machine.

When I start Machine 1 as control & local rendering machine then two other does not load project.

IN remote machine I must manually load project or not.

Hi Thach,

You need to follow this documentation closely: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/multi-machine-environment/multi-machine-setup/

Once you have the Launchers running on your remote machines, you will see them on the controller machine. When launching Aximmetry, they will be visible in the Startup window, and you will need to specify an Index for them to use:

Hi Thach,

Then, what indications do you see that suggest the projects are not loaded?

Again, note that the output of the engines will not be visible on the controller machine. Each machine is responsible for its own input and output. These videos are not shared between the computers, so you will need to use a switcher device to switch between these final outputs or for example use another computer as a switcher. Of course, while setting up the system, you can connect a monitor to each computer to function as a debug screen or dummy output.

Hi Thach,

Do you see the remote machines in the startup window, like this??

It would be best if you could send a screenshot of this window on your controller machine. Because multiple settings need to be correctly set in this menu, and the status indicators of the machines can help identify if there is an issue.

Hi,

Your web site can not add multi image so I send a link that included setting images.

Hi Thach,

You need to turn on Remote Rendering:

Otherwise, Aximmetry will not use the Remote Render machines.
