Located under Hardware Setup, each individual camera has a General Settings menu. The options
within this menu are detailed below:
Name:

Hardware Sync: Must be selected if you would like to synchronize the video, via MyoSync, with other
cameras or other data streams
Note: This must be selected for each device that you would like synced.

Configure: Must be selected to modify all the following settings (fps, resolution, etc.).
FPS:

FPS:
FPS: Select how many frames per second you would like to obtain throughout the measurement.
Higher frame rates are useful when using 2D marker tracking of high speed movements: running,
throwing, etc.. Lower frame rates may be suitable for those using the camera purely for reference.
Note: Increasing the fps will decrease the maximum obtainable resolution
Resolution:

Resolution: Select the number of pixels that you would like to receive from the camera.
Shutter Time:
Shutter Time:
Shutter Time:
Shutter Time: This setting alters the length of time that the camera’s image sensor is exposed to light.
Decreasing this value (increasing the denominator of the fraction) will expose the camera’s image
sensor to incoming light for a shorter period (useful when in very bright conditions – outdoors).
Increasing this value (decreasing the denominator of the fraction) will expose the sensor to incoming
light for a longer period and will thereby cause the image to be brighter and add a blur to very high
speed movements. MR3 will recommend a shutter time based on the user selection of an indoor or
outdoor environment.

environment. This will alter the shutter time, gain, and gamma settings to a generic recommended
setting.
Note: Lighting slightly differs in every laboratory space, therefore minor adjustments to these
recommended values may be needed to optimize image quality.

Gain:
Gain: This setting amplifies the brightness of the entire image. Increasing this value may be useful in
low-light environments. Be sure to always adjust the ambient lighting and the shutter time before
altering the gain.
Gamma:
Gamma:
Gamma:
Gamma: Gamma is an image correction value that will adjust the luminance of an image. Adjusting
gamma will make dark areas of the image darker and light areas lighter. A gamma value equal to 1 will
have no effect on the image, a gamma value <1 will shift the image towards the darker spectrum, and a
gamma value >1 will shift the image towards a lighter image spectrum. Be sure to always adjust the
ambient lighting and the shutter time before altering the gamma.
