Upgrading to 22.3

We would not recommend that you upgrade your Pixotope machines in the middle of a production or pre-production phase.

When choosing to upgrade, we recommend that you backup your existing Pixotope projects, so that you will be able to go back if you need to.

Upgrading from 2.x

Calibrate syncing

• The default Frame matching method has been changed to Timestamp

• The default Tracking delay has been changed to 0

For Buffer size frame matching method

The 2 frames minimum buffer size are now added under the hood. This means, that if you previously had a tracking delay, for example, of 2, now subtract 2 frames and set it to 0.
