Reliable 2006 Camera Settings?

[Travis Hoffman]

I'd like this thread to be a one stop shop for useful camera settings used by those teams who've used the camera most successfully. For you camera geniuses out there, please consider posting your "reliable" settings here.

I personally use Kevin Watson's bells and whistles code. Everything works pretty well; I'm just looking for tweaks to the settings that can make the performance more reliable and repeatable from location to location.

I'm looking for answers to the following questions, along with any other suggestions you can provide:

1. Which settings work well for you without requiring modification from event to event?

2. Which settings do you have to tweak at each event? Are there particular ranges of values you use, or could they be all over the map?

3. Which settings are unimportant to green target tracking and what are they set to on your machine?

4. Has each event provided a list of camera calibration values at pit admin? If so, are those values useful?

5. Have other similar-colored and sized arena lights caused any vision light tracking problems at your events?

6. How do you think the brighter lighting conditions in the Georgia Dome will affect camera performance?


Thanks in advance for your input.
