Using the COM interface is the only supported method for interacting with the cameras, is there a particular reason why you do not want to use it?

From what I understand I can bypass the COM interface and Interact with .dll files directly.

One solution might be to write your own DLL to interface with the OptiTrack SDK, and then AutoHotKey could interface with your DLL.That sounds like a good idea. I did not know you could use a DLL file in that way. I will have to figure out how to create my own DLL.

Thanks,
