Camera Calibration Procedure
To calibrate the camera, the pinsetter associated with the camera must be turned “on” and have 10
pins standing on the pindeck illuminated with the desired light source. Perform the following steps to
calibrate the camera to the pins:
1. Select the lane to be calibrated.
2. Using the mouse, click the number “1” listed in the “Pin” column. This will activate the 1 pin
target.
3. Using the mouse, click on the pin image picture at the desired position where you wish to place
the target for pin 1.
4. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 for pins 2 -10 .
NOTE: It is important to place the correct pin target on its corresponding pin; if not, incorrect
scoring may occur.
5. Set the initial Day Level light value:
a. Set the bowling center’s lighting up as it would be used during normal bowling situations.
b. Record the light value for all ten pins.
c. At the pinsetter remove all ten pins from the pindeck.
d. Click the “Get Current Picture” button to refresh the pin image picture. Record the light
value for each pin location.
e. Select the “Day Level” eld and enter a value midway between the lowest light level value
recorded in step b and the light highest level recorded in step d.
6. Set the initial Night Level light value:
a. Set the bowling center’s lighting up as it would be used during night bowling events such
as cosmic bowling, black light bowling or other reduced lighting conditions.
b. Record the light value for all ten pins.
c. At the pinsetter remove all ten pins from the pindeck.
d. Click the “Get Current Picture” button to refresh the pin image picture. Record the light
value for each pin location.
e. Select the “Night Level” eld and enter a value midway between the lowest light level
value recorded in step b and the light highest level recorded in step d.
NOTE: The initial light level settings described are good starting points for camera calibration.
The actual light level used may be varied from this setting to accommodate different lighting and
pin conditions, such as colored pins.
