Hello:

I believe there is a potential communication problem. OptiTrack is a Development Platform, where users can take our SDK and create all kinds of programs and applictions with them, including Motion Capture. There are even example programs. OptiTrack does not support any motion capture program directly, a plug-in must be written and marker tracking software must exist in some form that deals with muliple cameras. This can be done, but must be programmed by the user. We are working on a tool kit that will help facilitate motion capture, but that won't be ready for some time. My suggestion is to probably return the cameras, or just keep one of them and show how it can track the markers it came with. Sorry that I can't be of more help, I wish I could.
