Calibration
One of the most important tasks of virtual camera tracking is calibration. Prizm allows you to calibrate any set of lens + camera in 30 minutes. After changing the position or replacing the tracker, recalibration takes no more than 5 minutes!
- Lens distortion — radial distortion model with K1, K2, K3 and other parameters
- Position and rotation of the virtual camera point — without additional offsets
- Virtual camera field of view — HFOV, VFOV, focal length and matrix size
- Focus plane distance — precision distance from the virtual camera point
- Environment axes position and rotation — zero point and axes direction

What is Prizm
Prizm is a hardware + software solution for configuring, calibrating and streaming virtual camera state data. It connects almost any existing tracking system, calibrates a lens + camera set and streams the exact virtual camera state using FreeD D1, Mo-Sys F4, OSC, JSON and XML protocols.
- Tracking position, rotation, zoom and focus
- Lens distortion and virtual camera point
- Field of view and focusing distance
- Ready for common real-time protocols

How it works
Prizm works like a collecting prism: it combines data from the camera, tracking system, lens encoders and sync generator into the virtual camera state — position, rotation, field of view, lens distortion and more.
- Camera + video input
- Tracking system
- Lens encoders
- Sync generator

Prizm FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I make a lens file?+
Yes. With a simple, fast and accurate calibration procedure, you can create a lens + camera calibration file — a virtual camera calibration file.
How do I set up a virtual camera in a 3D engine?+
Camix Prizm sends data via FreeD and OSC protocols. FreeD provides the exact virtual camera point; OSC provides ready-made virtual camera state data that can be bound to the same parameters in the 3D engine.
Can I set coordinate system position and rotation?+
Yes. During calibration you can specify the zero point and the direction of the right, up and forward axes.
Is it possible to calibrate a lens with live focusing?+
Yes. Lens distortion, virtual camera point, field of view and focal plane distance can all depend on both zoom and focus values.
Can I track the camera outdoors?+
Prizm supports tracking systems suitable for outdoor use, including Movicom Robycam, Mo-Sys e-Sensor, CV-Support tripods and Intel RealSense T265.
Can I calibrate a photo lens without gear rings?+
Yes. Camix Gear encoders can work with a toothed follow-focus ring or a similar solution.
