I'm having great experiences with Optitrack and have found that my only real request would be to have larger capture areas.

Keep us posted for news on this feature!
Good stuff!

<t>Well, it does seem like it's software related (beta, that is).<br/> When I go back and use the Arena 1.4 software I get no camera dropping what so ever. I just had a nice capture session and it worked perfectly!<br/> <br/> Now, if only we can get the beta working better WITH the powerful FBX expo...

D-Link provided power supply: model number AF 1805-A

<t>Vincent,<br/> Okay...<br/> Installed an additional USB 2.0 card -- no success (2 or more camera still stop working in the middle/beginning of a capture)<br/> <br/> I'm using 8 of the V100<br/> <br/> My USB hubs are D-Link brands<br/> <br/> I have used several previous builds of Arena. I never use...

<t>Looks like I only have one enchanced host controller listed within device manager. Would installing a seperate (additional) usb2 pci card solve that?<br/> Thanks for all the help!!<br/> <br/> Russ, I thought about that (static). I'm not touching the cameras but I am working on a carpeted surface....

Hmm... well it's definitely working better, but I still occasionally have about 3 or so camera's kick-off at the same time which you can generally tell by the performance drop.

How can I tell about the one or two "enhanced host controllers"? Would I find that in device manager (PC)?

I did try moving the hubs (two days ago) to a different USB port... and that seems to have fixed things. I just haven't used the system enough to really put it through the ringer (yet).

Thanks for the help!

No, but I do have a hub plugged into a usb extender (shipped with optitrack) then into the computer.

<r>I'm using Vista 32-bit.<br/> AMD, Dual Core, 4 gb ram. NVidia GeForce 7800 GTX.<br/> <br/> Arena, 1.5 beta3<br/> 8 Cameras in a 18' x 18' x 8' high area. Upper cameras at 8', lower cameras turned 90 degrees and about 2' to 2.5' lower than upper cameras.<br/> <br/> I have 2 USB hubs (powered) on t...

Hmmm... I'm having the same problem but with an 8 camera set up.
I don't have a non-active extender in the chain with the cameras... but I think I am using one for my logitech mouse (connected to the same computer).
I'm disconnecting that. Will have to see if that fixes it.
