Define the capture volume
Lay out the intended capture volume by
placing markers around the edges of the
volume.
You can often place the markers on the
floor, as shown. If the volume to be
captured is higher up, place the
markers
accordingly. This makes it easier to
visualize the capture space.
Roughly position the cameras around the
volume to provide full coverage across
the
vo
lume. For more information, see
Position the cameras on page 8.
Positions will depend on the volume size
and camera lenses.
Remember to include heig
ht as well as
width and depth in your volume
calculations!

1 Install each camera on a tripod, on the wall,
or on a ceiling-mounted rig.
