Step-by-step Tutorial
This tutorial aims to provide complete, step-by.-step instructions from preparations to live operation of a zactrack system. Additionally, it provides guidance for questions that may arise during the process. The sample zactrack showfile can be downloaded here and imported using the method described in Import Show.
For demonstration purposes, the following setup is defined:
zactrack MINI system
grandMA3 console
2x Astra Wash 7 Pix
Network Switch
DMX Node
The space is a room with a tracking area of approx 5x5 meters (16x16 feet) with fixtures mounted at approx 3 meters (10 feet) height.

Define the system components and networking topography.
Mount the Anchors and connect all components.
Calibrate the system to receive tracking positions.
Patch Fixtures and connect to a lighting console.
Assign Fixtures to Trackers and control the system's behavior in realtime.
