Positioning the Cameras (6)

Hello,

we buy the Arena Motion Capture System with 6 Cameras. In the tutorial-video there is only the example about Positioning 8 cameras. Our Question is, where have to be the three points of the calibration square and the point of the calibration wand? The postioning have to be in portrait view , and then? The point of the calibration wand must be on the right side in the middle, how it is in the example of 8 cameras? Can anybody help us? Has anybody a screenshot? :cool: The Problem is that if we put the white point of the calibration wand in the middle of the right side, the area is not so high that we can outstretch the arms..the area is too short. ;)

The we have another question. How the system calculate the error rate? Means the error rate how often we were out of the camera-area by calibration?

Thanks for help us and we are sorry about the bad englisch words but we are from germany. :crazy:
