1 - That depends on the actual overlap of the cameras, and your software settings. The software itself defaults to a min. of 3 cameras

Are you trying to use the direct show functionality at the same time that the Arena software is running?

The left menu, in the Arena software?

You can enable the assets window, in Arena under the windows menu at the top -> Assets.

delete the reg key for the OptiShow app:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NaturalPoint\OptiShow]

and the UI will resort to its default appearance.

If you have multiple cameras connected, you need to use the OptiTrack property page to select the desired camera, then begin playback using the "Play" button.

Select OptiTrack camera in the TreeView
Right Click -> Properties
Select the Camera serial number from the Property Page
Click Apply
Timeline Control -> Play

That should do it.
