Tools

Setup tools

• generator can be used to check output patch and support system tuning,
• synth is useful for fine-tuning the low frequency response of the system.

Import

Mapping of standardized channel-based formats to a set of objects.

Protocol

generic OSC

• activated checkbox enables / disables protocol,
• individual OSC addresses (incoming) can be specified for x, y, z, or xy or xyz coordinates,
• StageTracker button sets required OSC address for this tracking system,
• objects need to be assigned as desired in the respective space section(s).

RTTrPM (BlackTrax)

• required settings in BlackTrax software:
  • coordinate system: WYSIWYG,
  • integer and floating-point encoding: little endian,
  • centroid coordinates.
• required settings in FletcherMachine remote:
  • protocol activation through activated checkbox,
  • available beacons are assigned to objects by drag and drop, assignment must be enabled,
  • area coordinates are set according to BlackTrax setup (by default the area is set in 2D),
  • selected space is set with area coordinates (can be rescaled in the respective space section),
  • objects need to be assigned as desired in the respective space section.

PosiStageNet

• protocol activation through activated checkbox,
• available trackers are assigned to objects by drag and drop, assignment must be enabled,
• area coordinates are set according to tracking system setup (by default the area is set in 2D),
• selected space is set with area coordinates (can be rescaled in the respective space section),
• objects need to be assigned as desired in the respective space section.

Space

The space feature allows to easily rescale incoming positional data to fit a specific area:

• objects are assigned to a space (only one space allowed per object),
• each space can simultaneously receive information from all protocols,
• by default, spaces are set to 2D, i.e. z value is set to 0.
