Blueprint Reality MixCast Studio Setup Manual Download Page 6

 

Below are several optional advanced features that can make a big difference in the quality of 
your mixed reality video.

Does your video feed lag behind the virtual objects in Studio? Some cameras and setups 
introduce delay resulting in the video lagging behind the virtual scene. If you notice this, enable 
Buffered Mode to compensate for the delay.

1. Go into the “Compositing” menu
2. Change Display Mode to Buffered
3. Adjust the delay (in milliseconds) until you’re happy with the results

If you have a third Vive controller or a Vive Tracker you can use it to track your real-world 
camera. This means you can pick up your camera, move it around and get different angles on the 
action in real-time!

1. Ensure the Vive controller or Vive Tracker is firmly secured to the camera – any looseness 

can introduce camera shake in your video

2. Open the Camera Placement menu
3. Choose your tracked camera device in the dropdown menu or use ‘Choose Closest’
4. Now move your camera (along with the controller/tracker) and the VR scene will stay in sync 

with the movement of the camera

Automatic Cropping will automatically ignore any part of the video feed that is too far away from 
your hands or head. Since you probably don’t want your lighting rig to show up on-screen, 
automatic cropping ensures only the subject/player and their immediate surroundings are 
displayed.

1. Open the Subject menu
2. Click to enable ‘Crop feed to Subject’
3. Adjust the padding so that the player/subject isn’t cropped out, but their surroundings are

Advanced Features

A. Buffered Mode

B. Tracked Camera

C. Automatic Cropping
