Check Camera Information

You can check the following information in Camera Controller.

  • Projector firmware version: the projector firmware version of the currently connected camera.

    • Project chessboard test pattern: Check this option to project a chessboard pattern used for checking the connection and focus of the projector.

      This option is only available for DLP cameras.
      • If the pattern is successfully projected, the project is connected.

      • If the pattern is clear and not blurry, the projector is in focus.

      • If the pattern is not projected or is blurry, please contact Technical Support.

  • Camera Date and Time: the date and time stored in the camera.

    • Click Sync to camera to sync the computer’s date and time to the camera.

  • Temperature: the temperatures of the CPU and projector.

    Click Refresh to obtain the latest temperature data.

Change Image Resolution

This function is available in the Administrator account.

The resolution of the 2D image or depth map is adjustable for some camera models. Using the lower resolution can speed up data acquisition effectively and thus better cope with applications with short cycle time.

  • DEEP-GL: The resolution of the depth map can be either 1024 × 768 or 2048 × 1536.

  • LSR S-GL, LSR L-GL, and LSR XL-GL: The resolution of the 2D image (texture) can be either 2000 × 1500 or 4000 × 3000.

  • NANO ULTRA-GL: The resolution of both the 2D image and depth map can be either 1200 × 900 or 2400 × 1800.

  • PRO S-GL and PRO M-GL: The resolution of both the 2D image and depth map can be either 960 × 600 or 1920 × 1200.

Please follow these steps to change the image resolution of the camera:

  1. Switch to the Administrator account and open Camera Controller.

  2. In the Resolution section, select the needed resolution from the drop-down menu of 2D image or Depth map.

  3. Click Apply settings and reboot camera at the bottom, and then click Confirm in the pop-up window to restart the camera.

    The camera restart may take several minutes. Please wait until it completes. Click icon refresh in the upper left to update the list.
  4. After the camera is displayed in the list again, connect to the camera. The 2D image or depth map that you acquire now will have the selected resolution.
