Camera Tower Instructions

There are no explicit instructions for constructing the camera tower. The camera should be mounted at a height such that the camera can see the full width of the table and just inside the edges of the red duct tape (the tape should not appear on the camera). Refer to the table diagram. Adjust the focus of the camera either visually or by the old focusing method. Place a ball in each corner of the view area to verify the adjustments. The ball should appear in each corresponding corner in the image of the table

The design for the tower used at USC can be seen in the following diagrams and pictures:

The Old calibration instructions are still up to provide a further understanding into how the camera signal looks.
