Prepare Received Data


1. Video Input

Select the feed from your camera here. You can refresh the list of video sources using the button in the top-right.

After changing the source, you have to press "Open Stream" to receive video again.

Once you see the video in the middle area you can move on to the next step.

2. Tracking Input

2.1. Select the tracking protocol

FreeD or TCD. If you don't use EZtrack, the only possible option is FreeD.

2.2. Provide lens data

Depending on the tracking protocol used, there are a few options to provide the calibrated lens data:

  • FreeD:

    • Lens File: Load a JSON file exported by EZprofile using the Open Lens File export

  • TCD:

    • Embedded Lens Data: the TCD protocol already carries calibrated lens data

    • ST-Map: for advanced users using another model than Brown-Conrady.

2.3. Choose the receiving IP and Port

The "Receiving IP" drop down lists all available network interfaces on the machine. To listen on all interfaces use "0.0.0.0".

The port is specified below.

Filter by source ID

Only takes messages from a specific source according to an index in the tracking messages. It is only useful in some multi-camera setups.

2.4. Start Receiving

Press the "Start Receiving" button.

To verify the tracking data is complete, check that all fields have a value in the panel on the right:

If you move the camera, the values should move as well. Perfectly static tracking values are suspicious.

You are now ready to proceed to the Line-Up Workflow or the Quick Referential Workflow
