Re-using Lens Ranges from Older Version Lens Files

The lens range in Tracking Hub is from 0 to 1. For setups used with software preceding the Tracking Hub, such as Viz IO, the lens files may have used lens ranges specified slightly differently, such as from 0.01 to 0.99. The Tracking Hub is capable of adapting to such a lens range. To achieve this, the lenserange parameter in the studio configuration file needs to be entered manually.

Warning: Editing the configuration manually can lead to software malfunction, and should only be done by qualified professionals.
