No frame data

Post by pbhat »

This my setup:
- Windows 7 professional os
- Camera SDK 1.5.1 (installed as admin including the Optitrack USB driver)
- A single Optitrack Flex 13 camera connected over USB

My setup often gets into a state where the camera doesn't generate/capture any frames. i.e., camera->GetFrame() always returns NULL. The weird thing is CameraManager::X().WaitForInitialization() and CameraManager::X().GetCamera() succeed. I see the camera spinning up. I can query camera properties like width/height/etc. When the setup gets into this state even sample-viewer-app says 'No frame data'.

The problem is usually fixed by reconnecting the USB cable (sometime I have to do this multiple times). I'm seeing this problem with two different Flex 13 cameras; two different usb cables; and several different usb ports on the same machine.

How can I fix this issue? Please help.

Also, here are a couple of other questions:
- what is difference between CameraLibraryxxxxS.lib vs CameraLibraryxxxxD.lib?
- when can we expect binaries for VS2013?
- it would be nice to include a AttachListener based example for capturing frames in Samples

Thanks.

Hello,

I am facing the same problem actually. I have the same setup than pbhat with a 64 bit windows.
So, I have a NULL pointer for frame. I am working on a virtual reality project for head tracking, I need help please :|
Is there a solution for VS2013 ?
Moreover, can we change the CameraLibrary2005S to the CamearLibrary2010S ? I don't know how to do such thing.

Thank,
