Set up of "studio" in Aximmetry DE Tracked Cam

 

@Eiffert : I am using  4 Tracked Cams for a project. I have calibrated   my studio using an Aruco marker to establish my 0 0 0 points for the virtual set. I have used this Aruco  to measure  the distance from  it to the Front, Left , Right and  Back walls and used this for the Studio calibration. I see that  for each Tracked Cam  input  there is a Studio  button, allowing studio parameters  to be entered.  I thought that this  would permit  individual studio calibration for each of the tracked cams, but I see that any  change in any one of them results in that change being applied to all the others including the main  Studio setting.  All studio settings are identical. Is that normal ? If it is  supposed to be that one setting applies for all Tracked Cams, why have a studio  button assigned to each input. How do I make individual adjustments

Hi Linford,

When you click on any of these Monitor buttons, they do more than just change the video display; they also select specific panels:
Set up of

 The INPUT and KEYER panels apply to individual inputs, whereas the STUDIO and SCENE panels apply universally to all inputs.

This design ensures that you only need to define the STUDIO once. When you switch to another INPUT, the studio is accurately placed using the tracking information for that specific INPUT. This works if all INPUTS utilize the same tracking system.
However, if you are using two different tracking systems, for example, Vive Mars and Mo-Sys, then you need to align their coordinate systems within the same space by adjusting the Delta Cam Transf parameter in the ORIGIN panel. More details on this process can be found here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/tracking/camera-and-head-transformations/#delta-cam-transf

Also, It's smart to use the Aruco markers for measuring wall distances.

Warmest regards,

@ Eiffert: Thanks  for that  explanation. I am  using  two different  tracking systems, I supsect  that's  where the  issue  was .  I have  recalibrated, and it  works  Ok
