Calibrate a single camera

Evoke enables you to calibrate or re-calibrate a single camera, without having to re-calibrate the whole system. This enables you to add a new camera to your system, or move a single calibrated camera, and calibrate with a shorter wand wave, saving the time it takes to perform a longer wand wave for all the cameras.

To calibrate a selected camera:

1. With the moved or additional camera positioned in the volume, in the System tree, select the relevant camera, which is flagged as Uncalibrated () if it is a new camera, or Bumped () if it is a moved camera that was connected when it was moved.

   

2. On the Camera Calibration tab, in the Auto-Masking section, click the Cameras to Mask list and then click Selected Cameras.

3. Click Start (Selected).

   The camera masking is updated to include the new or moved camera.

4. In the System tree, ensure the relevant camera is still selected.

5. In the Calibration Wave section:

   1. To ensure that only the wand wave for the selected camera is required to meet the Auto Stop Minimum Wands value, make sure Auto Stop is selected.
   2. Click Start (Selected).

      

6. In the volume, ensure that the person waving the wand does not stand too close to the new or moved camera, so that the wave can be captured by both the directly affected camera and the adjacent cameras.

   During calibration, the selected camera is at the top of the Wand Count list until its wave is completed, when the list returns to the usual (device number) order.

   Calibration takes noticeably less time than the original full system calibration.

   When calibration is complete, in the System tree, the relevant camera is flagged as connected and calibrated, with no other icons ().
