8 DTrack2 frontend software
Keep a distance of min. 20 cm when operating the cameras ! All cam-
eras are assigned to the Exempt Group according to IEC62471-1 and
therefore pose no risk or hazard to the human eye or skin at this dis-
tance.

When using ARTTRACK2/C cameras, it is not possible to adjust the
flash intensity of the respective external flashes with the DTrack2 fron-
tend software!
Please contact ART in case you need to adjust the flash intensity of
the external flashes.
Static reflex suppr. Tick the corresponding checkbox to activate the support of static
reflex suppression. Please refer to chapter 8.6.1 on page 165 for further information.
Sync group In case of mutual blinding of cameras (see chapter 4.8.2.1 on page 49)
one can assign different syncgroups for opposing or adjacent cameras. You may change
the assignment either on the All Cameras tab or on the tab of the respective camera.
Possible values are ’Channel 1’, ’Channel 2’ or ’Channel 3’. These channels correspond
to the three syncgroup outputs (#1: 0 µs - #3: 960 µs on the ART Controller) for ART-
TRACK systems (see also chapter 5.1 on page 55). To change the predefined time delays
please refer to 8.5.2 on page 151.
Camera mode Depending on the model and on your application one can change the
camera mode (i.e. the FoV) in order to achieve:
• higher max. frame-rates
• lower latencies (i.e. time delays for measurement data). Please refer to chapter A.7
on page 246 for more details.
To switch the camera mode, select the appropriate entry to open a drop-down menu (e.g.
1.1 Mpix, max. 60 Hz). The max. frame-rate is defined by the camera with the largest
field of view selected respectively the max. frame-rate of that individual camera. Thus, in
mixed systems the max. possible frame-rate is always limited to 60 Hz (for legacy sys-
tems with ARTTRACK2 or ARTTRACK3 & ARTTRACK5 or TRACKPACK/E ) or 120 Hz
(for systems with TRACKPACK/E & ARTTRACK5 ) respectively.

Be aware, that higher frame-rates come at the cost of the cameras’
reduced field of view.
Room cal This indicator shows whether the corresponding camera was used (i.e. present
and running) during the last valid room calibration. Hence, yes shows that the camera will
be used for measurements and will contribute to the tracking. On the contrary no indicates
that additional cameras have been added to an existing configuration without performing
