Chapter 8
8.5 Menu Settings
8.5.1.1 All Cameras tab
By default the window opens up showing the tab All Cameras. Here you can change
camera specific settings (e.g. flash intensity, camera orientation, syncgroup assignment)
either for all cameras at once (globally) or for each camera separately by left-clicking and
selecting the appropriate entry. When cameras are removed from an already calibrated
tracking system (e.g., due to a disconnected cable) without performing a room recalibra-
tion the ART Controller will detect and mark them as missing. The corresponding entries
are greyed out to show that the cameras have been disabled. The only data shown is
model and serial number.
The following settings can be accessed (from left to right):
Column Description
Camera Shows the assigned camera ID (see 2-digit LED matrix dis-
play on ARTTRACK5 )
Model Shows the type of camera
Serial Shows ART internal serial number of each camera
Flash intensity Change the currently selected flash intensity (set individually)
Static reflex suppr. (De-)activates the static reflex suppression for this camera
(set individually)
Sync group Select the syncgroup (’Channel 1’ - ’Channel 3’ for ART-
TRACK5 , ARTTRACK5/C & TRACKPACK/E , set individu-
ally)
Camera mode Select the camera mode (available modes depend on model,
set individually)
Room cal Shows the status of room calibration (i.e. ’no’ for newly added
but not yet calibrated cameras)
Flash settings The flash intensity may be changed within an interval from
• 0 .. 6 for ARTTRACK1 ,
• 0 .. 8 for ARTTRACK2 / ARTTRACK3 ,
• 0 .. 100 for ARTTRACK5 , ARTTRACK5/C and TRACKPACK/E
• 0 .. 7 for TRACKPACK .
These settings strongly depend on the working area and range. If you are working in a
small area, where you are close to the cameras, lower flash intensities may be sufficient.
Otherwise, if your typical working distance is further away from the cameras (but still
within tracking range of the cameras), higher flash intensities may be necessary. Adjust
the flash intensity that tracking quality of all cameras is suitable using the Monitor 2DOF
display. Please refer to chapter 8.3.3.1 on page 135 for instructions.
