Deadzone & Smoothing
Both controls are in the Global Settings tab of the Tracking Settings panel (right column of the workspace).
Deadzone
The deadzone is a minimum movement threshold. If the tracker crosshair moves less than this distance, no DMX update is sent.
This prevents micro-jitter in the camera feed from causing unnecessary fixture movement.
Range: 0–100%. Set to 0 to disable.
Smoothing
Smoothing applies a low-pass filter to tracker movement. Higher values = more lag but smoother output.
Range: 0–100%.
| Value | Effect |
|---|---|
| 0 | No smoothing — raw movement |
| 30–50 | Typical production setting |
| 100 | Heavy lag — for slow, deliberate movement only |
Combined use
Use deadzone to eliminate small jitter, and smoothing to control the feel of larger movements. These are independent controls and can be combined freely.
