Camera

In the Camera section, special camera behavior settings which are used for virtual studio setups, can be set. Viz IO is used as the studio configuration and calibration tool for enabling connectivity and control between all required studio devices such as cameras, routers, VTRs, video servers, audio mixers and other studio equipment.

  • Virtual Studio: When set to Active the tracking process will be started when Viz Engine is started

  • Command: Set the path to the ’.bat’ file that will start the tracking process. If a valid path is given, Viz Engine will start Viz IO during startup.

  • On Air Camera: Activates the selected camera that should be used when setting the scene in On Air mode. The camera is controlled by an external tracking device.

  • Stereo Mode: (license required):

    Note: Stereo Mode settings only take effect when the design is taken on air.
