The latest firmware update, Release 3.25.0.1 from zactrack, marks the first release of the year and introduces significant enhancements to the user interface, PTZ camera control, and the new Proxy feature for manual tracker control.

Improved Web Monitor

The web monitor has been updated and comes with a series of great enhancements as well as a fresh look. The visualiser now supports 3D stage view, displaying fixture positions, improved 2D view with grid lines as well as a scene gizmo for quick scene rotation. Additionally, hovering over the sidebar list now highlights the items in the graphical view for better reference.

PTZ Camera Control

PTZ camera control is now possible with zactrack. Pan/Tilt control is enabled through the VISCA protocol. Additionally, NDI video streams can be routed to the zactrack App, so you can perform a fixture alignment of the camera using a live video feed. Currently, zactrack supports the Sony BRC-H800, with additional models from different manufacturers being added in future software updates.

Proxy

The web monitor's new Proxy feature allows you to manually control virtual trackers via mouse or touch input. A proxy is a virtual tracker indicated by an EUI, that can be assigned to any actor. You can operate more than one Proxy simultaneously using multiple web monitor instances.

Network Protocols Settings

Networking protocols such as Art-Net or sACN can now be configured independently in the zactrack App. You can enable/disable input and output, define network interfaces, ports and update rates.

New Manual

The offline manual now also comes in the new version, same as the new portal accessible via manual.zactrack.com. If you have access to the online manual, our new chatbot is available 24/7 to answer your questions. Just click the speech bubble at the bottom right of the page to ask your question.
