Hello,

The V100:R2 and other current OptiTrack camera models use monochrome image sensors and are not designed to capture color information, so it will not be possible to get color images from them.

<r>The new camera SDK does not include a COM interface, it provides a C++ interface.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/products/camera-sdk/"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/p ... amera-sdk/">http://www.naturalpoint.com/optitrack/products/camera-sdk/</L...

That appears to be using the old OptiTrack COM SDK which has been discontinued. We advise against building applications on the old sdk.

You might want to look around and see if you can code which uses the new OptiTrack Camera SDK.

They are using cameralibrary.dll which is included with the Camera SDK when it is installed.

<r>Please see the following thread for information about where to find a third party .Net wrapper for the new Camera SDK.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=45075"><LINK_TEXT text="http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubb ... mber=45075">ht...

<t>For starters, the DirectShow Filter cannot be used at the same time as other OptiTrack applications (including those based on the Camera SDK). Only one application can talk to cameras at a time.<br/> <br/> Next, which video mode (raw greyscale, mjpeg, segment, etc) are you using? <br/> <br/> Plea...

<r>Just to pile onto this post, here is some slightly more precise info <E>:)</E><br/> <br/> The V100:R2 and V120:SLIM also have a blanking period per frame which is the equivalent of 5 scanlines. The exposure value for these cameras is in scanline units.<br/> <br/> vblank = 5 lines<br/> frame rate ...

<r>Update :<br/> The Camera SDK 1.1.0 release has moved to final. See linked post below for more details.<br/> <br/> <URL url="http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=47044&#Post47044"><LINK_TEXT text="http://forum.naturalpoint.com/forum/ubb ... #Post47044">htt...
