RecceBoard vs archportal tracker

A recce board for directors, cinematographers. Previz made simple. Walk a location, film the shots you're thinking of, and push them around until the order feels right. Then press play and watch the whole thing as a film. The camera opens already framed to the board's format, and the lens buttons are labelled in millimetres — the real focal length, so it means the same on any iPhone. Stop recording and you're in the trim. Next takes you back to the camera for the following shot. Shots sit where you put them, and the order of the film is the arrangement: left to right, top to bottom, the way a page reads. Move a shot and you've changed the cut. Record a voice-over over the whole thing or over a single shot, and lay music underneath. Export the film as a video or the board as a contact-sheet PDF, with your frame lines burned in. Boards sync through your own iCloud account, so you can start on the phone at the location and finish on the Mac. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac. Share a board with a six-character code. Nothing is collected — no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. One purchase, no subscription. Want it to do something it doesn't yet? mail@carlooppermann.com

ArchPortal Tracker turns an iPhone or iPad into a camera tracking source for Unreal Engine. It streams ARKit position and rotation data over UDP to a LONET 2 Live Link source, registering as the subject ArchPortal_Rig on port 60608. Point it at your workstation's IP address, mount the device to your camera, and drive a CineCameraActor in real time. Built for virtual production work and released free. WHAT IT DOES Streams ARKit world tracking position and rotation to Unreal Engine LONET 2 Live Link protocol over UDP, port 60608 Live telemetry readout — position in centimetres, rotation as a quaternion Socket status indicator so you can see the connection state Reset origin to set world zero from your current position Framing reticle for lining up before you reset Works over Wi-Fi or a wired USB Ethernet adapter WHAT YOU NEED A device that supports ARKit Unreal Engine with the LONET 2 plugin Both on the same local network, or connected directly by Ethernet The app sends transform data only. Focal length, aperture and frame rate are set on the CineCameraActor in Unreal. MOUNTING Mount the device right-side horizontal. The mount orientation is built into the coordinate transform and cannot be changed in the app. PRIVACY No account. No analytics. No advertising. No data collection of any kind. Camera access is used only by ARKit to determine device position — no image data is recorded, stored, or transmitted. The only network traffic is the tracking data you send to an address you type in yourself. SUPPORT Setup guide and troubleshooting: archportals.com/pages/tracker Built by Archportals, a virtual production studio in downtown St. Louis.
