Using LuxLink to Calibrate a LuxCast

If, when working with your LuxCast, the calibration continues to fail, or your webcam is taking images which appear much too dark or much too bright, you may want to leverage our LuxLink software in order to simply calibrate your device to generate a snapshot. 

NOTE: This is a temporary solution to work around a known bug our development team is actively working to resolve.

 

First - you will need access to our LuxLink software. Go to our website hover over products and select LuxLink. LuxLink is our software subscription to use without a device. Sign up for the three day demo in order to gain access to the software when not using a Luxedo device.
