Every camera sees the world a little differently. In this live Tech Town Hall, Fred Spaziani walks through his new Camera Calibration Guide and shows how to take a PTZOptics camera from factory default to a clean, accurate, broadcast-ready image. We’ll cover the full calibration workflow, including lighting, exposure, aperture, gain, white balance, color tuning, camera matching, and troubleshooting common image problems.
Then comes the twist.
After Fred builds the perfect image, Josh Thompson intentionally destroys another camera’s settings and challenges Fred to bring it back from the brink. Can Fred diagnose the issues, recover the image, and explain the process live?
Join Jon Roberts, Fred Spaziani, and Josh Thompson on Monday, July 13th at 2 PM for a practical and entertaining look at camera calibration, display calibration, and real-world troubleshooting for PTZOptics users.
📌 **In this episode, we’ll cover:**
• Why cameras look different from room to room
• Why factory defaults are not always enough
• Why lighting should be fixed before camera settings
• How to set exposure, aperture, gain, and AAE
• How to use white balance and one-push setup
• How to fine tune red, blue, hue, and saturation
• How to match multiple cameras
• How bad monitor calibration can fool you
• How to troubleshoot green images, mismatched cameras, stage lighting, and event-day surprises
