 Select (by clicking) the cameras you wish to use and press the '''SETUP''' button to [[#Setup|continue]]. Selected cameras are highlighted with orange background.
-Program remembers your selection: next time you start iPi Recorder you don't have to bother with selection again, unless you've replugged cameras.

 * Reorder cameras.
 *: To place camera to the specific position, drag it's screen to this position. You can also throw away unneeded camera if it was selected by mistake, simply by dragging away it's screen.
-*: '''Tip'''. For color cameras, it is recommended to place cameras in Recorder in the same order they go around capture area &mdash;either clockwise, or counter-clockwise. This will make calibration process in Studio much simpler.

 * Set global properties for all cameras, if there are any.
 *: Example of such property is '''darkening for calibration''' for PS Eyes.

 Before starting evaluation, you can set its duration. In general, the longer duration, the better evaluated background. Though, default duration of 5 seconds is sufficient for the most situations. Less values can be set for testing purposes, when you frequently pass through Setup stage, trying out different settings.
-Often there is situation when computer with iPi Recorder is located in some camera's field of view. So to evaluate background, you need to go away from computer, but being away, you cannot start the evaluation process. In that case, you can set delay for evaluation to start, so after pressing the '''EVALUATE''' button, you have enough time to leave capture area. After you've started delayed evaluation, count delay + duration seconds, and then you can safely return to computer.
