Chapter 6
QuadCam Reference
This chapter contains a summary of commands
for QuadCam. Camera calibration, preparing
recordings and the individual stages from load-
ing the videos to the finished film are described
in Chapter 5 (Getting started).
6.1 Running QuadCam
QuadCam is run from the “Edit/Special” menu
option. As soon as QuadCam has been selected
from the Effects list, three menu options will be
displayed in the Selection field on the right.
6.2 Calibrating cameras
The “Measure cameras” option need only be
selected once before the beginning of a multi-
camera recording automatically synchronised by
SmartSync DV. Each camera is connected to the
Casablanca once by DV cable, so that the Casa-
blanca can load its date and time.
6.2.1 Background
Click on the “Background” button once to high-
light it, for calibrating the “background” camera
or deleting the existing “background” calibra-
tion. An active button will be highlighted in blue.
Continue as described in paragraph 6.2.3 (“Cali-
bration”) or 6.2.4 (“Deletion”).
6.2.2 Insert 1,2 or 3
Click on one of these three buttons if one of the
three “Insert” cameras is to be calibrated or if
the calibration alongside is to be deleted.
Continue as described in paragraphs 6.2.3 (“Cali-
bration”) or 6.2.4 “Deletion”).
6.2.3 Calibration
Before a DV/D8 camera is calibrated, the appro-
priate button (“Background” or “Insert 1/2/3”)
must be selected and the corresponding camera
connected to the Casablanca by DV cable. After
the camera has been set to “Record-Pause”, the
calibration process can be started by clicking on
“Measure”.
