CALIBRATION

ACCESS LEVEL: EDITOR | ADMIN

Remotely adjust and configure the warping, blending, and masking of projectors.

Editing a Channel

Each channel can only be remotely calibrated by one person at a time.

Start and Stop Editing

A lock icon on a card indicates that the channel is actively being edited by another user.

Editors can still click into a locked card, however they may only view which server is editing the channel as well as specific channel info.

Click "Stop Editing Channel" to release the lock and allow other users to edit.

Channel Settings

Access settings while editing a channel. Toggle on Manual Edgeblend, Manual Mask, or Manual Stoner to see them appear on the Mapping Tools tab.

Warping and Blending Tools

Once toggled, control Edgeblend, Masking, and Stoner settings on this tab.

Changing Channel States

To quickly change an individual channel’s state, you can click the top left corner of an unlocked card.

To change a group’s channel state, click on the top left corner of a channel group.

“Mixed” channel states indicate that there are more than one channel state type within a group.

Backing Up Data

It is best practice to create a backup of your calibration data after every calibration pass. This data backup is only stored on the server you press this button, so it is usually clicked on the MC server to consolidate all backups.

The backups are stored in [PROJECT PATH]/backup/data/[DATE OF BACKUP]/

This will include all of the necessary data files to run the project at that moment in time.

To revert the backup, simply drag the required files from the backup folder into your main [PROJECT PATH]/data folder and restart PrimeFrame to load the results.

The calibration data is stored in the "channels" folder.
