Spectator View Calibration Failed
When running the Calibration Solution I am getting this problem.
I am using a Sony a330 and an Elgato HD 60 Pro capture card.
I have no clue what to do.

The answer is that the Sony A330 have a LIVE View format described in page 117 of the manual Sony A330 manual pdf
DSLR-A330
L:8.4M 3872 × 2176 pixels LIVE RAW
M:4.7M 2896 × 1632 pixels
S:2.1M 1920 × 1088 pixels
Note
When you select a RAW image with [Quality], the image size of the RAW image corresponds to L.
The default .\SpectatorView\Compositor\SharedHeaders\CompositorShared.h about lines 62 to lines 65 is
// Frame Dimensions and buffer lengths
//TODO: change this to match video dimensions from your tethered camera.
#define FRAME_WIDTH 1920
#define FRAME_HEIGHT 1080
My guessing is these lines need to be changed to amended
// Frame Dimensions and buffer lengths
//TODO: change this to match video dimensions from your tethered camera.
#define SonyA330
#ifdef SonyA330
#define FRAME_WIDTH 3872
#define FRAME_HEIGHT 2176
#else
#define FRAME_WIDTH 1920
#define FRAME_HEIGHT 1080
#endif
Now rebuild the code and the assertion errors above where not enough memory was allocated to copy may go away
I cannot test this but this is a warning to other camera users to change the code
Personally I would like to have had a #define CAMERA SonyA330 or CanonEOS5D and if the CAMERA define was null then Stop build with a static Assert to get the user to fix this
@c4ssh3rn Please try this and see if this fixes the problem hopefully you will at least get a screen display of what the camera sees
If you could change the camera output to
S:2.1M 1920 × 1088 pixels then you could use the default software
@Jimbohalo10 Thnx, I tried both your suggestions. The calibration.exe runs for a few minutes showing a pink screen, after a while (longer then before) it does however reach a breakpoint like before. It seems it doesn't generate any calibration data.
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: ...it-master\SpectatorView\Calibration\x64\Debug\Calibration.exe
File: c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 14.0\vc\include\xmemory0
Line: 94
Expression: "_Count <= (size_t)(-1) / _Sz" && 0
For information on how your program can cause an assertion
failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
(Press Retry to debug the application)
Calibration.exe has triggered a breakpoint.
My elgato software only shows 567p25 data stream, could that be the problem. Also the Sony A330 doesn't have recording abilities, is that a problem?
Anyway next week I am going to try it out with a Sony HXR-NX5E Camera. Hopefully I will get better results with that.
Any tips are still very welcome.
Solved it by setting it on Release instead on Debug.
Next problem is I can't record video's, only take pictures. Someone has a clue why its not recording. All the files come back with 0 data
