Basic Vicon Valkyrie system topology

A basic Vicon Valkyrie system consists of a primary Ethernet (PoE++) switch, up to eight Valkyrie cameras, and a Vicon Valkyrie host PC, as shown in the following illustration.

For details of the components of this basic system, see Vicon Valkyrie system components.

The Ethernet switch provides power and data communication for the Valkyrie cameras. It also routes the Vicon sync (Ethernet synchronization and time stamp) from the sync source camera (selectable in your Vicon application software) to all connected secondary cameras. In addition, the Ethernet switch manages the data flow to the Vicon Valkyrie host PC. This PC runs the Vicon software that you use to process, visualize, and analyze your data.
