<t>We seem to have had a breakthrough.<br/> We were consistently getting poor on one of our cameras, so we tried swapping it with one that was getting goods, to see if it was a hardware issue or had more to do with the position of the camera.<br/> <br/> After swapping the cameras we got excellents a...

<t>I've got the top cameras at 10'11" now and the lower cameras at 7'6". The lower cameras are sideways to give better vertical coverage.<br/> <br/> I'm still havening a heck of a time getting all goods on my calibration. Inevitably I always have at least one poor and usually a couple fairs.<br/> <b...

K, I won't worry about that one then.
I'm getting more goods and greats than poor and fairs now... I think it's just a mater of another dozen or so attempts... once I get this working I'm gona mark the spots for the cameras and weld the pols in place. ( I wish I could anyway.)

<r>I have noticed something else that's 'odd' to me. When I show the capture area it seems to indicate a range limit on the cameras. And due to this limit there is little actual overlap, leaving my center uncovered.<br/> <br/> Additionaly camera 1 seems to have a lot more range than the other camera...

My cameras might have been a bit low. I moved the top set up to 10'2", and the low set to 6'.

I'm getting a bit better results.

<t>Okay, here�s my setup.<br/> <br/> I have an older pc, (P4 3.0 with 2gigs of ram) connected to an 8 camera setup.<br/> <br/> I�ve tried both the two cameras on a pole with high and low positioning and I�ve tried all cameras on their own poles all at high positioning.<br/> <br/> My space is u...

<r>Is anyone in the chicago area, who is experienced with the calibration and setup of this system, willing spend a day helping me get it going? I'm having terrible luck with my calibrations so far. <E>:(</E><br/> <br/> I'm more than willing to compensate for your time. Please send me a private mess...

I have watched the video. That's the technique I'm trying to mimic. I'm just not very good at it yet. I think I'm going to rig up a projector shot the screens at the wall so I can see my lines as I draw while I practice, untill I can get good solid coverage.

Hah, I knew and feared I'd get that response. I'm trying for both, my wanding technique just isn't there yet.

-Drew

Okay I'm just getting started with this stuff so I'm just looking for rules of thumb at first.

When using the wand to do the initial calibration, which is more important, full coverage of the area, or keeping the point in all the cameras views at all time?
