Real-time Virtual Scene Compositing

Installation and Startup Failure

Problem Description:

  • Errors or lag during installation, with prompts about missing system components (e.g., DirectX, .NET Framework).
  • Software crashes or closes immediately upon startup.

Solution:

  • Check System Requirements: Ensure the system is Windows 10/11 with a high-performance GPU (e.g., NVIDIA RTX series)1。
  • Install Runtime Libraries: Manually install missing components, such as Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 和 .NET Framework 4.813。
  • Run as Administrator: Right-click the installer or shortcut and select “Run as administrator”1。
  • Clean Temporary Files: Use system tools or third-party software to clear disk junk files and avoid installation conflicts3。

Hardware Device Recognition Issues

Problem Description:

  • Cameras, capture cards, or NDI devices cannot be detected.
  • Poor green screen keying results (rough edges or light bleed).

Solution:

  • Check Drivers and Interfaces:
    • Install official drivers for the capture card (e.g., Blackmagic requires Desktop Video driver)1。
    • Switch to a USB 3.0 port or use a powered hub to avoid insufficient power supply1。
  • NDI Configuration:
    • Ensure the device and computer are on the same local network, disable the firewall, or open NDI default ports (5353, 5960-5962)12。
  • Optimize Keying:
    • Adjust green screen lighting for evenness, avoiding shadows or reflections.
    • Adjust chroma key parameters in the software: reduce “Hue Tolerance” and increase “Edge Softness”1。

Frame Lag or Rendering Crashes

Problem Description:

  • Lag or delay during real-time rendering, or GPU usage spikes to 100%.
  • Software crashes in complex scenes with a “GPU memory insufficient” prompt.

Solution:

  • Reduce Rendering Load:
    • Simplify high-precision models and 4K textures in the scene, prioritizing optimized assets1。
    • Disable non-essential effects (e.g., motion blur, anti-aliasing)1。
  • Enable Hardware Acceleration:
    • Check NVIDIA CUDA or AMD AMF acceleration in settings1。
  • Multi-Machine Collaboration:
    • Use NDI or DeckLink to distribute rendering tasks to secondary machines, reducing load on the main machine1。

Tracking and Virtual Camera Desync

Problem Description:

  • Virtual camera motion does not match the real camera's trajectory.
  • Infrared tracking markers (e.g., OptiTrack) are frequently lost.

Solution:

  • Recalibrate the System:
    • Use Aximmetry's built-in tools to calibrate the tracking camera, ensuring the calibration board is correctly positioned1。
    • Check the size and reflectivity of tracking markers to avoid interference from ambient light1。
  • Frame Rate Synchronization:
    • Unify the frame rate of the real and virtual cameras (e.g., 30fps or 60fps)1。
  • Signal Synchronization:
    • Sync multi-device clocks via Genlock or Timecode1。

Audio Delay or Device Not Recognized

Problem Description:

  • Audio and video are out of sync, or the microphone cannot be detected.

Solution:

  • Reduce Audio Buffer: Adjust the buffer to 256-512 samples in software settings to reduce latency1。
  • Use a Professional Sound Card: Install ASIO drivers (e.g., Focusrite Scarlett series) to improve stability13。
  • Check Device Permissions: Allow Aximmetry to access the microphone and speakers in system settings2。

Frequent Software Crashes or Unresponsiveness

Problem Description:

  • Software suddenly crashes during operation or becomes unresponsive for extended periods.

Solution:

  • Analyze Log Files: Check C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Aximmetry\Logs for error logs to locate specific module faults13。
  • Reset Configuration Files: Delete the Documents\Aximmetry\Config folder to restore default settings1。
  • Update Software Version: Visit the official website to download the latest version and fix known bugs13。

License Activation Failure

Problem Description:

  • Prompts “Invalid license” or unable to connect to the server.

Solution:

  • Check Network Environment: Disable VPN or proxy to ensure network connectivity1。
  • Reactivate License: Reset and reactivate via Aximmetry License Manager1。
  • Contact Official Support:

Advanced Maintenance Tips

  • Regularly Clean the System: Use tools like CCleaner to clear temporary files and registry entries, avoiding resource usage3。
  • Data Backup: Regularly back up key project files to an external hard drive or cloud to prevent accidental loss2。
  • Hardware Monitoring: Use MSI Afterburner to monitor GPU temperature and load, preventing crashes due to overheating1。
