Sensor Presets

The Clip Input node is able to make use of camera presets generated in the Camera Preset panel, but is also able to use simple Sensor Preset files with sensor size information if no camera presets are available.

These files can be placed in the presets/camera folder (or alternate location defined in the Preferences window), and contain only enough information to define the size of the camera sensor area used to capture an image:

<cameraPreset>
    <sensorName>My Sensor</sensorName>
    <frameSize>1920 1080 1.77778</frameSize>
    <definition>1920 1080 15.0 8.4375</definition>
    <sensorWidth>15.0</sensorWidth>
    <pixelAspect>1</pixelAspect>
    <mode>Exact</mode>
</cameraPreset>

- sensorName: The name of the sensor preset.

- frameSize: The width, height (in pixels) and frame aspect ratio of the clip.

- definition: The width and height in pixels, and the width and height in millimeters, of the full camera sensor.

- sensorWidth: The width of the sensor area used to capture the image.

- pixelAspect: The pixel aspect ratio of the clip

- mode: This indicates that the sensor can only be applied to 1920x1080 clips.

In this case, the full sensor area (15 x 8.43 mm) was used to capture the image, so the sensor width is the same as the definition width.
