2. Use a lighter at both ends
3. prepare 8-knots as in rock climbing

Mount cameras on truss and wire them with the two switches

Mount the 16 cameras in the corners and at each 1/4 of the edges. Use the safety ropes, and wire them to the two switches as below.

Orient cameras and adjust focus

Once the setup is up-and-running, adjust the focus of each camera using a marker at 2/3 of the working distance. Use a remote desktop app and ethernet connection.

• In the corners: the bottom of FoV is parallel to the long edges, and the bottom right corner is vertical.

• At 1/4 of a short: the top of the FOV is horizontal, and the camera points toward the center.

• At 1/2 of a short edge: the bottom of the FOV is vertical, and the camera aims downward.

• At 1/4 of a long edge: the top of the FOV is horizontal, and the camera points toward the center.
