- To open the brightness, place fingers on the center section of the lens and rotate the section toward the text "Open" or until you see the camera brighten on the Capture screen
- To adjust the zoom and focus camera settings, gently and slightly loosen the applicable knob by unscrewing it from the lever without completely removing it and then move the lever and knob around the outside of the lens
Step 2: Open the Brightness all of the way on all 8 cameras
Step 2: Open the Brightness all of the way on all 8 cameras
Place the Calibration Board in the center of the capture space to assist with camera aiming
Gently rotate the middle section of the lens toward the "Open" text until it cannot rotate any further
Manually adjust the Camera Brightness in the capture software (darker is better as long as the 3 colors on the calibration board can be identified)
- Click the Camera Settings Tab
- *Must click back and forth between two camera previews to ensure the camera settings are loaded properly
- Adjust the Brightness using the slider
Most/All Camera Previews will say "Check Calibration" if the Brightness has changed without Capturing Background

Step 3: Adjust the Zoom and Focus of all 8 Cameras
Step 3: Adjust the Zoom and Focus of all 8 Cameras
Adjust the Zoom to where the majority of a subject with arms raised can be seen
Then adjust the focus to where the squares on the calibration board or floor tiles are as crisp as possible
Step 4: Use the knobs on the camera ball head mount to adjust the aim of all 8 cameras
Step 4: Use the knobs on the camera ball head mount to adjust the aim of all 8 cameras
- Loosen the Knobs on the Camera Mount and then aim the cameras into their desired location
- Once located, re-tighten the knob so the camera stays in place
- The easiest way to aim is to have a person stand in the center of the space
- Eliminate as much background/walking/standing space or direct windows/lights as possible by focusing on solid walls
- All cameras should try to capture the whole body during all movements if the environment allows, however at minimum a couple cameras need to see a part of the body at one time, but not all of them. For example:
- A couple cameras can be focused more on the lower body (outstretched during lunges and bounds)
- A couple on the upper when arms are raised or jumping
- The remaining cameras should try an capture the whole body and space (ideally the cameras that are aimed against solid walls and ideal backgrounds)
Camera aiming, zoom and focus should be repeated and adjusted until all 8 cameras have an ideal set up. Test the capture quality with a test session and revisit if necessary.
