Important safety information
Important safety information
To avoid damaging the PhotoBooth camera, it is important to prevent exposure to static discharge during installation.
TouchTunes strongly recommends you follow these guidelines during installation.
• Wear a grounded anti-static wrist strap, or work with one hand always touching a metal part of the metal chassis.
• Whenever possible, leave the camera laying on an anti-static bag or anti-static foam.
• Leave the Virtuo plugged into an AC outlet with the power switch turned OFF. Doing so places a ground on the metal
chassis.
Installing the PhotoBooth Camera Bracket
2. Note the small aperture on the front of the Virtuo where the PhotoBooth Camera is installed and open the Virtuo door.
1. Power down the Virtuo by setting the rocker
switch on the power strip inside the Virtuo to the
OFF position.
Leave the Virtuo plugged into an AC outlet with
the power switch turned OFF. This grounds the
metal chassis.

3. Unscrew the two small bolts used to keep the existing bracket threaded onto the back of the Virtuo door. You will reuse
these nuts momentarily.
5. Cut the tie wrap running through the strain relief hole and unplug the small PCB wire connected to the camera.
You will be replacing this tie wrap shortly, so note how it is connected.
6. Carefully remove the entire bracket assembly (with the camera board still attached) and place it on a table.
7. Remove the two screws attaching the camera board to the bracket, and discard the screws and bracket.

4. Remove the small 20mm central
screw and discard it. Your kit
includes a new 16mm screw to
replace it.

8. Attach the camera board to the new bracket, fastening them together with the two white nylon standoffs in your kit.
Use only 2lbf-in of torque to screw in the standoffs.

9. Insert the 16mm screw in your kit into the bracket, screwing it only a few rotations.
10. Place the two washers included with your kit over the screws protruding from the rear panel of the monitor.
11. Mount the camera assembly to the rear panel of the monitor, ensuring proper orientation (as in the diagram below, the
small PCB cable should be to the right of the PhotoBooth camera).
12. Use the 4-inch tie wrap in your kit to replace the strain relief cable you removed in step 5.

13. Fasten the PhotoBooth camera assembly to the rear panel of the monitor with the two nuts removed in step 3, applying
10 lbf-in of torque. As you tighten the bolts, ensure that the top of the camera’s bracket is flush with the top of the rear
panel.
14. Connect the camera’s USB cable to the USB port shown below on the Virtuo computer.The PhotoBooth camera
USB port on the Virtuo computer is next to the Ethernet port.

15. Use the three 8-inch tie wraps supplied with the PhotoBooth Camera Kit to fasten the USB cable to the existing bundle
of wires.
16. Restore AC power to the Virtuo and boot it up.
17. Press the PWR button on the IO board to turn the touchscreen on as well.
NOTE: Since you have not yet aligned the camera, it is normal and expected that the camera lens does not line up with the
circular aperture on the outside of the Virtuo door. Centering the lens is part of the next step of the installation, PhotoBooth
Camera Alignment.

Aligning the PhotoBooth Camera
Aligning the PhotoBooth Camera
1. Before you proceed with the PhotoBooth camera calibration, it is critical that the Virtuo be mounted at the correct height
(a Virtuo mounted on a Virtuo Floor Stand will automatically be mounted at the correct height).
The top the Virtuo bracket should be 65 inches from the floor.
The correct height is necessary to avoid damage to the bracket and to achieve the correct calibration.
If your Virtuo is not mounted at this height, consult the latest version of the Virtuo Installation & Setup Guide (900475-
001) on the Operator Dashboard for mounting instructions.

2. To properly align the PhotoBooth camera, you must use the Video Capture Test utility on the Operator menu.
On the I/O board, press the Manager button to activate the Operator Menu.
3. From the Main menu, select HARDWARE and press the Camera button.
The preview area displays the field of view being captured by the camera.

NOTE: If any corners of the onscreen image are obscured by “tunnel vision”, as in the following example, remove the
washers you mounted on the rear of the Virtuo door prior to mounting the bracket in Installing the PhotoBooth Camera
Bracket- Step 10.
4. Put a mark on the floor 47 inches
away from the wall (plus or minus
half an inch), centered with the
Virtuo.
5. Using a tape measure, measure the
distance from the floor mark to the
bottom of the camera field of view.
Using the level, keep the measuring
tape vertical in both orientations as
much as possible. A small angle off
the vertical can have a large impact
on the calibration process.

6. Turn the set screw (M3x16 Phillips
Pan) clockwise on the rear of the
bracket until you see the 47 inch
mark from the floor (plus or minus
half an inch) at the bottom of the
preview area.
Turning this screw bends a small
metal plate which may not rebound
if you pass the 47-inch mark and
bend it excessively.
Therefore, turn the set screw no
more than half turn at a time, then
check the Preview screen. Do not
use a motorized screwdriver.

Aligning the PhotoBooth Camera
Note: The camera lens and the aperture on the exterior of the Virtuo door should align more and more as you
adjust the camera screw using the method above.
7. When you are satisfied with the settings, apply a small amount of medium strength thread locker, such as Loctite™, to
the screw threads.

Upgrading the PhotoBooth Camera Firmware
Upgrading the PhotoBooth Camera Firmware
With the PhotoBooth camera installed and aligned, it is important to ensure it is equipped with the latest firmware update.
- If a PhotoBooth camera firmware is available for your camera, the UPGRADE FIRMWARE button will be available.
- If the PhotoBooth camera is running the latest firmware version, the UPGRADE FIRMWARE button will be grayed out.
To upgrade the firmware, touch the UPGRADE FIRMWARE button and follow the onscreen instructions (you will be
instructed to unplug the camera from the Virtuo USB port, then instructed to plug it back in).
In this example, a camera firmware upgrade is available

Setting the PhotoBooth Camera’s White Balance
Setting the PhotoBooth Camera’s White Balance
NOTE: In order to optimize the camera’s light balance for the PhotoBooth service, Virtuo must be running
OpenStage 1.1.0 or later. If your Virtuo is not running this version or later, contact TouchTunes Technical Support at
847-353-1954.
Now that you have installed, aligned and updated the PhotoBooth camera’s firmware, you must set the camera’s white
balance to optimize the coloration of its images.
NOTE: If the location generally operates under low-lighting conditions, it is essential to replicate these lighting conditions
when performing the white balance procedure.
1. Stand at arm’s length from the Virtuo screen. This simulates the optimal distance a customer’s face would be positioned
from the camera.
2. From the Operator Menu, press the WHITE BALANCE button.
The Preview screen will display a red square.

Setting the PhotoBooth Camera’s White Balance
3. Hold up a stack of white or light gray paper and position it at a 45 degree angle backwards (that is, tilting the top towards
yourself). Do not use a single sheet of white paper as it may be translucent.
The entirety of the red square should be filled onscreen by your sheet and you should be reflecting the ceiling light
towards the camera.
4. You will be prompted onscreen as necessary until the calibration is completed
5. The white balance process will take approximately 5 seconds. Try to keep the sheet as still as possible during this time.
NOTE: If the lighting of the location changes significantly and permanently, you should reset the white balance as part of
your routine when visiting the location.
