About Vicon connectivity units

You configure Vicon connectivity units — smart boxes that can be combined to create a distributed architecture, enabling you to customize the number of Vicon cameras and supported third-party devices in your Tracker system — with the Vicon Connectivity node on the System tab.

The Vicon Connectivity node is displayed under the Local Vicon System node when Vicon Tracker is connected to the Vicon system. The Vicon Connectivity node lists each Vicon connectivity unit connected to your Vicon system.

Depending on the type of Vicon system under which you are running Vicon Tracker, your Vicon system architecture will contain one or more of the following Vicon connectivity units:

• Vicon Lock – connectivity unit that facilitates the integration of synchronous third-party equipment with Vicon cameras by providing or receiving synchronization (Lock Lab) or timecode (Lock Studio). Lock Lab also provides connectivity for third-party analog capture sources, such as force plates, EMG equipment, and generic devices.
