If the projector is off during a TMiO calibration, the unit camera may not detect the calibration board. As a result, the board lines may not display correctly or partially disappear, and the unit may not calibrate when the board is placed against the hitting screen.
Steps to Check
- During calibration, verify that:
- The projector is powered on.
- The projector is displaying the expected calibration image.
- The correct video input source is selected.
- The projected image is stable and properly aligned.
- Check Ambient Lighting
- Strong ambient lighting can reduce marker contrast
- Turn off unnecessary room lighting where possible.
- Eliminate direct light sources aimed at the calibration board.
- Avoid sunlight reaching the calibration area.
- Minimize Reflections
- Reflections can wash out calibration markers.
- Ensure the calibration board is clean.
- Position the board flat against the wall as instructed.
- Avoid placing the board where glare from lights or the projector can affect visibility.
Restart the Calibration Process
If the markers disappear unexpectedly:
- Close the calibration procedure.
- Confirm that the projector is functioning correctly.
- Restart TPS.
- Begin the calibration process again.
Review Camera Visibility
If the corner markers remain difficult to detect:
- Verify that all Trackman iO cameras have a clear view of the calibration board.
- Check for obstructions within the camera field of view.
- Confirm that the calibration board is positioned according to the installation guidelines (against hitting screen).
