OmniCal Networking

Disguise OmniCal is a calibration system designed to enhance projection mapping and screen alignment. It uses camera-based technology to:

• Automatically align content across physical surfaces.
• Correct for distortions and misalignments in projection.
• Ensure seamless visuals in complex setups, such as:
  • Large-scale projection mapping
  • Multi-projector configurations

OmniCal integrates with allied vision cameras and there are some special requirements on communicating with cameras on a network infrastructure.

See OmniCal Networking Guide

Key Requirements

1. When using OmniCal with more than 4/6 cameras a 10Gb switch is strongly recomended.

• Power over Ethernet (PoE):
  • These cameras require PoE, which simplifies installation by combining power and data through a single Ethernet cable.
  • This reduces the need for separate power supplies and makes the setup more streamlined.

Recommendations for PoE and Networking

To achieve the best performance:

1. Use a modern network switch with a high PoE port count to support multiple cameras simultaneously.
2. Avoid placing these cameras on a VLAN, as it can introduce latency or networking complexities.
3. Refer to the detailed configuration guide on Disguise’s support page:
