Cables: Who is in charge of the cabling before doing an installation?
Tracking: What are the tracking system protocols?
Transfer of tracking data: How is tracking data transferred and what kind of cables are used?
Synchronization sources: What type of synchronization sources used?

System Requirements

This section detail the system requirements.

Syncronization

The Tracking Hub needs some sort of synchronization method on the machine it is installed. This can be:

a running Viz Engine installation, or
an installed Plura synchronization card.
If sync sources is not found, the Tracking Hub can still be used in “free running” mode. Free running is not intended and should not be used for production. It can, however, be used to experiment with tracking on a laptop. For use in production either Viz Engine or Plura synchronization is needed.
