Incorrect terminology of "Camera Head" and "Camera Rig" #1

Closed richardssam closed 10 years ago

Andy Jones pointed out we may have the camera-head terminology wrong: "I would have expected "Body" to be the camera itself, "Head" to be something like "Libra" and "Rig" to be "Sticks," "Technocrane," etc. So rig seems right to me, but I would replace "Head" with "Body" and probably add a separate field for "Head."

It seems especially important, given that some camera heads can output data, and the head will dictate how the camera rotation introduces small amounts of parallax. "

From Pete: "Camera mount" to refer to techno crane, dolly etc "Camera head" to refer to the libra, o'conor etc "Camera body", for alexa 2826, red epic etc "Stereo rig type" field to refer to; 3ality TS35, TS5 Inverted etc
