Connecting a Miqus Hybrid or Video system for markerless mocap

Miqus Hybrid or Miqus video cameras can be used in systems for markerless mocap. A markerless mocap system consists of the following components:

• Miqus Hybrid or Miqus Video cameras
  Miqus Hybrid or Miqus Video cameras or a combination of both.

• Camera cables
  The number of camera cables is the same as the number of cameras.

• One or more Power kits
  A power kit consists of a power supply, a power injector and a host (Ethernet) cable. One power kit can power up to 10 Miqus cameras. However, since the maximum number of Miqus Hybrid or Miqus Video cameras per chain is limited to three, it is more practical to use one power supply per chain of three cameras.

• Camera Sync Unit (optional)
  A Camera Sync Unit is required for synchronization with external equipment.

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch
  The use of a 10 Gigabit switch is required for systems with more than three Miqus Video or Miqus Hybrid cameras.

• Desktop Markerless Computer
  A specially configured computer is needed with a 10 Gigabit network adapter and a disk configuration optimized for handling large amounts of video data.

A system with Miqus Hybrid or Miqus Video is connected in the same way as a Miqus system. However, the maximum chain size is limited to three cameras. The chains must be connected via a 10 Gigabit switch to the Desktop Markerless Computer.

The maximum number of cameras in a system that can be used at Full FOV and full capture rate depends on the computer processor. For specifications, see the below table.
