Turn on the computer on the left side and login. On this workstation you have the advantage to use a second monitor. <br> It's useful for the person, that is on stage and wants to see itself while calibrating the cameras or performing something. <br> In case you do not know the password for the user login, ask a person who does. If you managed the login, the desktop appears. <br> You have to start the tracking software with the help of the command line. That is probably the nerdiest part of the calibration process. ;) <br> '''Hint:''' We do have two different versions of [http://www.thecaptury.com The Captury] installed on the Macs. If you want to work with the old version, type now in the command line ''captury'' in lowercase letters. If you want to work with the new version, type now ''captury-new'' in the command line. <br> Please wait a moment until the program is ready for working with it. Yes, it's that easy! <br> | Turn on the computer on the left side and login.

If you are not happy with the brightness of the camera preview, you can either change the ''Global Brightness'' or the ''Current Camera Brightness'' of the camera, that is orange framed. Make sure the background is neither too bright and nor too dark. <br> | If you are not happy with the brightness of the camera preview, you can either change the ''Global Brightness'' or the ''Current Camera Brightness'' of the camera, that is orange framed.
