Using a remote I/O concentrator

Post by raboyd »

Is it possible to use a remote I/O concentrator (Digi AnywhereUSB) to connect the OptiTrack Optihub with the PC with an Ethernet cable instead of USB cables.

The Digi device does recognize the ports with the Optihub and the three V100R2:Flex cameras, but the Tracking Tools application does not show the cameras as being detected.

Any thoughts? We would like to extend the distance between the Optihub and PC using Ethernet cables rather than serially connecting three USB cables.

Hello,

This setup is not supported and will most likely not work. If your budget allows, you may have better luck with:

We do have Ethernet cameras available that would be a better solution.
