Peak Motus camera problem

[Max Timmons]

Hi

Recently we had to realize that Peak Motus cannot deal with current camera technology - it seems that it still sticks to old DV and FireWire stuff that is not available any more. We would like to use four Basler cameras with 100 or 200 frames per second with a decent resolution (better than 640x480). We wonder if Motus can deal with frame rates and resolutions other than DV? How can we record the video footage and process it with Motus?

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Max.

Re: Motus video export in CONTEMPLAS TEMPLO

Thanks, Thomas, this sounds great.

We are planning to acquire a lot of movements for a big project.
How long will it take to export a set of 4 high-speed video clips (synchronized cameras from various perspectives) from CONTEMPLAS to Motus?
How much user activity is needed for this process?

Cheers,

Max.

Re: Motus video export in CONTEMPLAS TEMPLO

Max,

I am not sure what time you are asking for.

The AVI files will be available some seconds after pressing the "Stop" button during video recording.
You can then export the video footage with only two mouse clicks - but you can also proceed with more recordings as everything will be written to a database to be selected later, e.g. when you return to your lab.

After this very short export process you would launch Motus which will open with the set of video clips already assigned to the user-defined 'template'.

With a bit of practice the whole transfer should be possible within 10 seconds after the end of the movement.

Please feel free to contact me with personal email if you have further questions.

Regards,

Thomas.
