Capturer Setup
For the needs of the capturing system, 4 Intel NUC ,4 Intel Realsense D-400 Series and a high-end desktop workstation are required, as well as 4 tripods and mounting stations for the devices and a LAN switch.
Intel RealSense devices offer the option to externally trigger multiple devices (which serve as Slave devices) via the signal of another device (that serves as the Master device). This done by using the GPIO port placed on top of the device.
Our application was built and tested under Windows 10 operating system. In order to use the application, some Windows settings have to be set to each Intel NUC (listed below).
