MOUNT
Mount the 8 anchors around the stage. The positions of the anchors should be as asymmetrical as possible, for good resolution in 3D 4 anchors should be up and 4 down.
Connect the zactrack CORE (Server ETHERNET PORT1) to a network switch
Connect the anchors with a CAT6 cable to a PoE switch within the zacNET
Note:
LED on anchor illuminates blue → anchor has power and is connected to tracking server
LED on anchor red → anchor has power but no connection to tracking server
Max. length of CAT6 with PoE is 100m. It is possible to extend the range with fiber optic cables
Connect the zactrack CORE (Server ETHERNET PORT2) to the lighting network switch
3D Anchor Setup
All anchors should be mounted around stage on different heights. To get accurate Z-axes positions it is necessary to mount the anchors on multiple Z-levels. Below you will find 2 examples for a 3D anchor setup.
For a 3D position the system picks at least 4 anchors.
Note: You can change the tracking type from 2D to 3D direct on each tracker on the lightconsole
Note: Do not place an anchor directly next to a fixture
2D Anchor Setup
All anchors should be mounted around stage. For 2D anchor setup it is NOT necessary to mount the anchors on multiple Z-levels. Below you will find 2 examples for a 2D anchor setup.
For a 2D position the system picks at least 3 anchors.
