Protee : How to setup machine vision cameras

[dpeddle]

Hey guys,

I have been a user of the protee system for almost a few years or so (bought it after reading this forum for quite some time actually so thanks guys!)

Up until now I have not been able to add the camera systems into the mix... but I now have both cams (super excited) and I would love some help on the setup. This thread is awesome and will likely get me 90% of the way there... just have a couple of quick questions.

1) I am a leftie. Most of my buddies are right handed. Will having the floor cam perpendicular to the tee negatively impact someone who is right handed (legs getting in the way, etc?). I was thinking of positioning it a foot or so ahead of the sensor to avoid any potential issues... but based on this thread.. not sure if that is the best idea.

2) For the H Cam ... just to confirm... should the lens be facing directly down at the ball on the tee?

3) I tried setting up the VCam earlier... but I am having a really tough time getting the launch angle to set properly. It is way too low and I can't figure out the best way to adjust it.

1- put camera on right will not effect a right handed hitter.
2- put the ball in the red box for the hcam.
3- is the ball on the vcam in the box?

I would suggest you go over to the new protee website. www. protee golf online . com

1. Not an issue. While everyone playing on my setup are right handed I still have the v-cam behind me. Left side when facing the screen.
My v-cam is about 6 feet to the left of the tee and about 15 inches in front.
The best placement will depend you room and the lens you are using.

2. H-cam No it should be in front of the tee. Mine is 18" could have been more but placed it exactly between my two spot lights.
It is then pointing a little forward.

3. I do believe that the LA is calculated on the low side too. That said make sure the V-cam is parallel to the center line.
Also check the V-cam is level to the ground
I am using limited flight balls they have a lower LA than Pro V1 so I point the V-cam down in front 2.5 degrees. Got a plank made-up with a line to align the V-cam in that position.
Not a 100% correct solution but better than without. Not sure why Protee can't give us a LA %factor.

Start with only one camera installed work with that until you get it right.
If you do not have 100% light control in the room I would lower the fps to 40-45. Also make sure you use this

Good luck takes some trail and error the first time to get it right.

I can find the 75w 120v halogen flood light no problem, but which one should I go with?

1. http://www.lowes.ca/halogen-bulbs/ge...b_8778865.html
2. http://www.lowes.ca/halogen-bulbs/fe...b_9696754.html
3. http://www.lowes.ca/halogen-bulbs/ge...b_8778867.html
he could try layla
I'm also having a hell of a time trying to find a 60w 120v halogen spotlight with a beam angle greater that 10 like recommended in this thread. Anyone have a link to one, or something that will work the main sensor light?

Would this one work for main sensor light? I can't seem to find the beam angle of this light though.

Are they still available ?

I have been eyeing that as the bottom end of the stang if I could fit it but needless to say a box that big would not be an option. Just when you thought a cyclone box was big lol. Hows it sound?

Petal, reed, metal, tonal drums. The thingy is wholly tuned. It goes agreeably with the flute, piano, guitar. To fritz an awesome instrument that recently appeared - the Petal tone drum, generally known as a glucophone (happiness, emanation), a faculty of rhythm is enough.
His sound is actually mystical. And you can learn to give it in fitting a not many minutes - the pre-eminent factor is to just learn how to beat on metal tongues, and it usually sounds magical.
