Trackmen Driver
The Trackmen Driver allows Disguise to receive real-time tracking data from Trackmen systems. It converts incoming tracking packets into camera and object transforms that Disguise can use for virtual production, broadcast graphics, and other real-time workflows.
Use the Trackmen Driver when you want to:
- Drive virtual or AR cameras in Disguise using a physical camera tracked by Trackmen.
- Synchronise real-world camera movement with a virtual set or scene.
- Monitor the quality and timing of tracking data coming from a Trackmen system.
- Troubleshoot latency or jitter issues in your tracking network.
Driver Properties
Section titled “Driver Properties”Port
The UDP port on which the driver receives data. Set this to match the port configured on the sending device or controller.
IP filter (optional)
Restricts incoming data to a specific source IP address. Useful when several sources are present on the network, or to isolate a single sender. Leave blank to accept data from any IP.
Multicast address (optional)
The multicast group address used by your system. Only required when the sender is configured for multicast — enter the exact multicast address used by the emitter. Leave empty for unicast or broadcast configurations.
Enable packet timing graph
Section titled “Enable packet timing graph”- Purpose: Turns on a diagnostic graph that logs the timing of incoming tracking packets.
- When to use:
- You want to verify that data is arriving regularly from the Trackmen system.
- You are diagnosing latency, jitter, or dropped packets in the tracking feed.
Recommended for testing and troubleshooting. You can disable it again during normal operation once the tracking feed is stable.
