Calibrate Headset
Overview
Capture Studio provides two methods, screenshot and ruler, to calibrate the position of the helmet. These methods ensure maximum consistency in the helmet's position during each recording. Typically, helmet calibration is used for facial expression library solving and custom training projects.
Usage instructions
Snapshot
- Please right-click on the screen and select "Snapshot," then click "Console" to view the location where the screenshot is saved.
- When you need to record again, load the previously saved actor's screenshot so the software can quickly and accurately locate the position of the helmet from the previous session, thus improving work efficiency.
- After loading the screenshot, the previous helmet position will be displayed as a ghost image on the screen. At this point, align the positions of the sides of the nose and try to align the corners of the eyes and mouth with the ghost image as much as possible.
- It's important to note that different helmets may have different lens settings. Therefore, after changing the helmet, it may not be possible to adjust to the exact same angle as the previous helmet.
Ruler
- Our software supports dragging out annotation lines, allowing you to quickly and accurately locate the previous position of the helmet.
- Right-click on the screen and select "Show face rule" to enable this feature. Once enabled, simply drag out the annotation lines from the left or top of the screen to use them.
Audio & Timecode Device
Audio
- Using the P2 in Capture Studio will automatically use the P2's built-in audio, so you don't have to choose.
Timecode
Timecode devices are typically used to ensure frame alignment between multiple videos during animation pipeline. As different computer systems may have time discrepancies, using timecode ensure that the recording time remains consistent across different machines.
How to connect timecode device
- After connecting SmartUnit and Timecode using Timecode cable, set it in the Timecode option in the camera settings interface.
- How to connect SmartUnit with Timecode, please see here.
Capture Studio setting
Once the timecode hardware is connected
- In the audio settings tab, select the timecode device from the dropdown menu.
- Click the "Open" button next to the TimeCode to establish the timecode connection.
- After click 'Open', the timecode information will be displayed in real-time in the time information section below.
- Offset: to adjust the timecode offset by one unit of time.
Motion Capture Trigger
Overview
- Within the same LAN, the motion capture device triggers the facial capture recording, enabling synchronized recording of motion capture and facial capture. The naming convention for synchronized recording files is as follows:
{motion trigger name}_{performer name}_TOP/BOT.mov
Currently supported motion capture devices
- Optitrack
- Vicon
- Xsense
- Rokoko
- Qualisys
- AxisStudio
- CMAvatar
- XINGYING
- PeelCapture
How to use
- In Capture Studio, check the motion capture trigger option and select the corresponding motion capture device. Set the signal port to match the one on the motion capture.
- On the motion capture software, set the same port number as well.
- Set the file name on the motion capture software.
Optitrack
- Enable Remote Trigger.
- Fill in the XML Broadcast Port into Capture Studio.
XML Triggering Port: Command Port (Advanced Network Settings) + 2. This defaults to 1512 (1510 + 2).
If you can not find XML Broadcast Port, you can check Optitrack document. V3.1, V3.0
Vicon
- Enable Triggered Capture.
- Set the same port number.
- Enable recording at the motion capture.
Xsense
Rokoko
Qualisys

How to use
- Set the monitoring port in Capture Studio
- Open Capture Studio Monitor on another computer and set the same port.
- In this way, the configuration is completed, and the operations in Capture Studio can be monitored in Capture Studio Monitor. If an error occurs, a red reminder will appear.
FAQ
Common Problem
Does Capture Studio support regular webcam recording or other devices?
Capture Studio only supports the FACEGOOD Stereo-HMC P2 system at the moment. Other systems cannot be controlled using Capture Studio for now.
What video formats does Capture Studio output?
The videos recorded with the P2 system are saved in MOV format.
In Capture Studio, how many screens can be monitored simultaneously?
There is no specific limit on the number of screens that can be monitored in Capture Studio. However, since screen rendering requires local computational resources, you may need to adjust accordingly based on CPU usage. It is recommended not to monitor more than 6 screens simultaneously.
Capture Studio supports a maximum of how many hardware devices to record simultaneously?
Based on the number of subscriptions purchased by the user, a specified number of synchronous recording capabilities will be provided.
Dark image of the P2 recording?
Adjust the brightness and contrast settings within Capture Studio to maintain the principle of keeping the face bright while keeping the surroundings darker.
When using Capture Studio, the CPU usage reaches 100%?
When multiple SmartUnits are connected and camera monitoring is opened simultaneously in Capture Studio, the local computational resources are consumed for rendering the images, leading to high CPU usage. To reduce CPU usage, you can adjust your head-worn device and then click the 'eye button' in the image to turn off monitoring. It's important to emphasize that the increase in CPU usage does not affect the quality of the recorded video, as recording always takes place internally within the SmartUnit. Capture Studio is primarily used for monitoring and control.
Can recording be done when turning off screen monitoring in Capture Studio?
Yes, to reduce the CPU load on your computer, you can choose to turn off screen monitoring after adjusting the headset. This way, when you start recording, the unmonitored screen can still be recorded.
Why is there a delay or slight screen tearing in the Capture Studio?
The connection between Capture Studio and SmartUnit is established via WiFi. When the resources of the router are overly utilized or the quality of the WiFi signal is poor, significant delays and packet loss may occur, leading to some screen tearing. However, this does not affect the quality of the recorded video, as the recording always takes place internally within the SmartUnit. Capture Studio is mainly used for monitoring and control.
RealTime
How many actors can be supported for real-time driving at the same time?
Based on the number of subscriptions purchased by the user, a specified amount of real-time functionality will be provided. In fact, it supports an infinite number.
Can real-time data of an actor be sent to multiple target addresses simultaneously?
Of course, you can add multiple target addresses in the settings and then click the start button.
Remote Triggering
Does it support motion capture synchronized triggering?
YES. Capture Studio natively supports synchronous triggering for Xsens, Optitrack, and Vicon, eliminating the need to purchase third-party motion capture software. Additionally, Capture Studio is compatible with third-party motion capture triggering software such as PeelCapture.
