Run Motive & Cameras SDK

[younes]

Hi everyone,
I just want to know if is it possible to run cameras SDK samples while motive is running. Because when I tried it the motive can't track any more and I have to rerun it.
Tks for your answers.

Hello younes,

Thank you for reaching out to the community.

Only one thing can be connected to the cameras at one time. For this reason, it is not possible to run Motive and the Camera SDK simultaneously.

Best,
Steven

Thanks for your answer.
The problem is that :
I have 4 Flex13 cameras, and want to switch one them between camera Object mode and Camera MJPEG Mode in order to get scene images while using Motive to reconstruct markers into a 3D space.
I want to know if is possible to switch cameras video mode with NatNet(ethernet communication).

Hi younes,

This is not possible with the NatNet SDK.

If you want to utilize the Motive API, you may be able to find a solution here.
Developing around the API will allow you to access most Motive functionality without using the UI.

You can find an example for utilizing the Motive API in the Motive\Samples\markers\ folder.
You can find a description of all objects in the API in Motive\inc\NPTrackingTools.h

Cheers,
Steven
