Camera Tracker Tester
このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。
The CameraTrackerTester driver is a type of PositionDriver that can be used to simulate camera tracking data. The Camera Tracker Tester is useful whenever you need to simulate or prototype a camera-tracking workflow without a physical tracking system connected. It allows you to drive a virtual camera using the position and movement of another camera in the scene.
This tool is especially helpful when:
- Testing camera-tracking behaviour before hardware is available.
- Prototyping AR, xR, or virtual production setups in an offline environment.
- Validating how positional or rotational offsets affect the final camera output.
- Simulating tracking latency using adjustable delays.
- Developing or tuning workflows for zoom/focus response without requiring real encoder data.
- Demonstrating camera-tracking behaviour in training or educational environments.
By simulating tracking output from another camera in the Stage view, the Camera Tracker Tester provides a safe and convenient way to experiment with tracking behaviour, understand FOV dynamics, and fine-tune camera behaviour before integrating real-world tracking hardware.
Driver Properties
Section titled “Driver Properties”
Source camera
Section titled “Source camera”Camera used as the source of the positional data.
Origin Offset/Rotation
Section titled “Origin Offset/Rotation”Offset/Rotation to be applied to the source camera’s position.
Focal offset/Rotation
Section titled “Focal offset/Rotation”Offset/Rotation to be applied to the camera’s focal plane.
Min/Max Horizontal FOV
Section titled “Min/Max Horizontal FOV”Min/Max values of the range used to scale the camera’s FOV.
Delay (sec)
Section titled “Delay (sec)”Artificial delay time that can be added to the source camera tracking data.
Zoom/Focus Encoder Override
Section titled “Zoom/Focus Encoder Override”Overrides for the Zoom/Focus encoder value.
Setup a Camera Tracking Simulation
Section titled “Setup a Camera Tracking Simulation”- Create two new cameras in the Stage menu; camera 2 will be used to represent the camera tracking system that sends tracking data to camera 1.
- Open the Video Input Patch Editor.
- Patch Camera 2 to an empty video input (the image below shows Camera 2 mapped to video input 1).
- Open the camera 1 properties menu, expand the Physical tab, and assign the Video in field to videoin_1.mov. You should now
see the output of camera 2 within the camera 1 preview thumbnail.
- Open the Devices menu and add a new PositionReceiver Device.
- Add a new driver to the and choose the PositionReceiver Device from the list of Position Drivers.
- Assign the source camera for the CameraTrackerTester to Camera 2.
- Return to the properties menu of Camera 1 and in the Tracking source field, assign the CameraTrackerTester as the source. The Offset, Rotation, and Fields of view will now appear green.
- Now, as you move Camera 2 in the Stage view, Camera 1 will automatically track along.
