Camera numbers?

What determines the numbers that show up on the cameras? It seems kind of random.

Thanks--Tim

It is done on how each camera is detected and initialized by the software, so the first one initialized gets a #1, and on down the line.

Is there any way to get them to initialize or show up sequentially?

Tim,

Do you mean having the camera numbers more closely correspond to the physical arrangement of the cameras, such as numbering 1,2,3... from left to right (physically)?

Currently the camera numbers get assigned before the system knows where the cameras are in space (before calibration).

Yes--it would be helpful for calibration so you'd have an easier time looking to the camera and the window on the screen--also for directing the actor to say "face camera 4" etc., since they'd be in a more predictable pattern. Not a big deal, but it would be convenient.

Thanks--Tim

any chance the drivers/systems could look for a text file that establishes a relationship between camera serial numbers and a set of user defined numbers?
