V120:SLIM frame rate issues
Posted: Thu May 09, 2013 5:32 pm
I recently upgraded to V120:SLIM from TrackIR5 and noticed that the camera sdk was not capturing frames at 120 hz.
I was using camera sdk version 1.1.3 and I noticed in the change log for version 1.1.5 the following fix:
"Fixed some V120:SLIM cameras operating at incorrect frame rates"
So I downloaded the latest final version - 1.1.6. This did not seem to fix the issue.
Then I tried 1.2 beta and that fixed the issue.
A couple of questions:
# Why is my V120:SLIM not running at 120 hz on 1.1.6?
# Is 1.2 beta stable?
# 1.2 beta has changed the dll/lib files names. There are version with suffixes 2005/2010, S/D, 64/. Just to be sure what are the differences between 2005/2010, S/D, 64/not-64?
# Even on 1.2 I cant set the frame rate to an arbitrary number between 1-120. The camera only seems to run at 30, 60, or 120. Is this expected? frame decimation seems to work for values up to 9.
# Camera.Name() returns a string with the model type and a number. Is this number unique to every individual camera? I want to use it to name the calibration files associated with a camera.
Thanks.
