What woud be the best Aximmetry configuration for vertical shooting in 2160x3840 25p?
Here is the setup we are planning to use:
- shooting with the camera positioned vertically (rotated 90°) and outputing a 3840x2160 25p feed via SDI
- keying with an Ultimatte 12 4K
- inputting the fill and matte feed from the Ultimatte into Aximmetry via a BM Decklink 8K Pro card
- rendering the final image in Aximmetry with the UE5 and a billboard, in 2160x3840 25p
- outputting the final image to 3840x2160 25p SDI (image rotated 90°) via the Decklink 8K Pro card
- inputting the final SDI feed to a BM Hyperdeck HD Pro for the recording on an SSD.
The camera will be tracked and the lens data will also be sent to Aximmetry. We will use a prime lens which will have been properly calibrated for distorsion and centershift.
How should we set this up in Aximmetry and is there any tutoial for this type of workflow for vertical videos?
Hi,
If I understand correctly, your goal is to have your final output in portrait orientation, and you plan to rotate your studio camera to portrait orientation as well. In that case, in principle, everything I discussed in my post here: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/4588-i-have-a-ptz-camera-and-id-like-to-try-v should apply to your situation as well.
Additionally, you asked this in a separate post:
"What would be the proper settings and workflow to use Aximmetry Calibrator to calibrate the nodal offset when the camera is rotated 90° for vertical shooting?"
If you follow the steps I described in the linked post, you do not need to create separate nodal offset or lens calibration. This is because you are rotating the entire rendering camera setup, including the lens calibration.
If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to ask.
Note: If you want to record in portrait mode but still deliver a landscape final output, refer to this discussion: https://my.aximmetry.com/post/4627-change-camera-orientation-tracked-camera
Warmest regards,
