Hi folks:

I'm trying to use 8 cameras with DMC Standard v2, and I was wondering if anybody has successfully done this. If so, what hardware did you have to use to make it work (motherboard models, specific USB3 cards, etc.).

Thanks,

Michael

Hi folks:

I hit a temporary dead-end on 8 camera usage. My current motherboard won't support another USB3 card, so I'll have to upgrade my motherboard to get it to work. Debating the finances. I had an opportunity to mocap some professional dancers recently, and was hoping to use 8 cameras for dual-person mocap. If I get a contract to do mocap for dual-person, I'll upgrade the motherboard then.

Letcha know when I make the upgrade,

Michael

This thread outlines what hardware we were able to get 8 cameras running with:

You may be able to get more than 2 cameras per usb3 card, the bandwidth of USB3 is way greater than that of 2.0.

Also, have the cameras write to a ram disk instead of your hard drive.
