※Product Overview※

A FLEXIBLE AND EASY WAY FOR USERS TO STREAM IN REAL TIME TO 3RD PARTY PROGRAMS AND PLUG-INS.

Created for the data streams from Nexus, Blade, Shōgun, and Tracker applications to use with third-party applications and plugins.

DATASTREAM SDK
FEATURES
 
Vicon virtual system
SDK has an associated utility – the Vicon Virtual System (VVS). This utility makes the development process easier by simulating a live Vicon system and streaming data to Vicon Nexus, Tracker, Shōgun, and Blade applications.

Create custom applications
SDK and VVS make it easier to create custom applications by providing greater flexibility and easy access to Vicon data in real time.

This allows you to maximize time and work efficiency during data collection and processing. Additionally, SDK and VVS are available for free to existing customers.

Increased 3rd party compatibility
Vicon provides a flexible and powerful SDK solution that is available in three different formats across multiple operating systems, including Unity and Unreal engines for use in VR applications.

Modeling options
Use the SDK to create models in other packages and languages including; MATLAB, Labview, C++ and .Net

Latency compensation
Whilst Vicon Tracker produces data with the lowest possible latency, game engines add latency before the image gets to the eyes in an HMD and this can impact the sense of immersion. From version 1.8 there is a brand-new API for obtaining data in applications where reducing apparent latency is key, in particular location based VR and VR gaming experiences, by correcting for the delays introduced when the engine renders the image to the VR headset.

The source code for the DataStream SDK is provided and is licensed under an MIT license agreement.

How do I set up my network card?

1. Open the Network and Sharing Center and navigate to Change Adapter Settings. Vicon Vantage/Vero cameras are designated to one port.  For each Vue (or Bonita Video) camera connected, there will be additional network port used.

2. Right click on the proper port and go into the Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties window will open. Make sure only Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is selected.

3. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) from the list and select Properties to assign the proper IP address.

a .Vantage/Vero cameras will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.1 and Subnet Mask of: 255.255.255.0

b. The first VUE camera will have the following IP Address: 192.168.10.2 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0

c. Any additional VUE cameras the last IP value is incrementally increased by one. For example, the second VUE camera will be 192.168.10.3.

Select OK to close out of the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.  And OK again to close out of the Local Area Connection Properties.  This will make sure all changes have been saved.

4. Feel free to rename the network port so it is easily identifiable. Such as ViconMX, VUE1 or VUE2
