Displays various assessments of camera health over the 2D camera views, for troubleshooting performance issues. If any performance issues is detected, corresponding problem will be listed at the bottom of the 2D camera view.
Reticles
When enabled, renders a crosshair on top of the 2D camera views, which can be useful for camera aiming.
Masks
Enables displaying masked area on the 2D camera views, in red.
Backproject Markers
Enables markers selected from the 3D Perspective View to be also highlighted with yellow crosshairs in the 2D camera view, based on calculated position. Crosshairs that are not directly over the marker tend to indicate occlusion or poor camera calibration.
Marker Filter
When enabled, filtered reflections will be labeled with the corresponding object filters in the 2D camera view.
Marker Coordinates
Displays 2D coordinate of the detected object centroids within the captured image, in pixels.
Marker Centroids
Displays crosshairs on marker centroids in the 2D view.

Multi-Camera 2D Display
![](https://docs.optitrack.com/~gitbook/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fv23.wiki.optitrack.com%2Fimages%2Fthumb%2F5%2F5b%2FApplicationSettings_Display_Multi.png%2F350px-ApplicationSettings_Display_Multi.png&width=768&dpr=4&quality=100&sign=8471d800&sv=1)
Display Mode
Sets levels of details for the markers displayed in the multi-camera 2D view. Available modes are Frame Buffer, Marker Centers, and Automatic LOD modes. Default is Automatic LOD.
Automatic LOD switches between Frame Buffer mode and Marker Centers mode depending on the zooming of the 2D camera view, or the LOD threshold setting.
Frame Buffer mode pushes the entire camera frame to the video card for scaling and display. It provides verbose information on detected reflections and centroids, but it is data intensive at the same time.
Marker centers mode merely defines a white circle of the rough size and shape of the marker as it would appear. More specifically, it displays the reflections by its size and location and is significantly less hardware intensive.
Pane Gap
The distance between 2D Multi View camera panes, in pixels.
LOD Threshold
The size, zoom percentage, at which the system switches between Marker Centers and Frame Buffer mode.
Raster Priority
Defines the update rate for the camera pixel data shown in the 2D camera views. The priority value ranges from 1 - 6, and a higher priority indicates a higher rate of update.

Displays tracked rays in the view port. Tracked rays are marker rays with residual values less than the Maximum Residual setting from the reconstruction pane. In other words, tracked rays are marker rays that are contributing to 3D reconstructions.
Show Untracked Rays
Displays the untracked rays in the view port. Untracked rays are the rays which start from each camera and goes through the detected 2D centroids, but fails to be reconstructed in the 3D space. When there are several untracked rays in the capture, it is usually a sign of bad calibration or extreme reconstruction settings.
Show Missing Rays

Calibration Pane Options
This section covers through the display options for the calibration features. In previous releases, these options existed in the Calibration pane.
Panel Output
Default: Standard. Decides whether the calibration process is displayed in a list format or a grid format. Grid format allows more camera progresses to be seen in the pane.
Status Ring
Default: Visualize. Enables the Status Indicator Ring to glow during calibration in order to display the wanding process.
Solver Visualizations
Default: Show. This toggles the display of wand samples and point cloud calibration visuals in the 2D and 3D view. If you're running on a lower end machine or graphics card with a large system, it is best to turn this feature off. The visual display will in fact eat up some computing power you may want reserved for getting quicker calibration results.
Lens Distortion
Default: Show. Use this to toggle the display of the lens distortion solution results in the 2D view. The lens distortion will be represented by a square grid that maps the distortion.
Cameras
Default: Show. This toggles the display of the cameras during the solve.
Wanding Projection
Default: Show. This toggles the display of wand samples projected in the 3D view. Turn this off if you're calibrating a very large system.
Projection Error
Default: Show. This toggles the display of error, reported as a color in the projected wand samples and markers. The wand samples will have a color between blue (good sample) and red (poor sample). Make sure the samples you collect are mostly good samples. As will all visual feedback, it may be a good idea to turn this off if you're calibrating a larger system.
Residual Error
Default: 6 mm. Set the tolerance for the reported error in the projected marker sample during calibration.
Wand Error
Default: 8 mm. This sets the tolerance for the reported error in the projected wand sample.
Sample Spacing
Default: 1. Use this to increase the spacing between displayed samples that are projected in the 3D view. Increasing this will skip more samples but will make the visual wand projections easier to see.
