Chapter 5
5.2 Installation of the ARTTRACK Controller (discontinued)
the cameras have to be plugged in here. In larger systems, please connect the
external switch to any of these ports.
• external Ethernet switch:
the Allied Telesis AT-FS708 is an eco friendly switch which is designed to minimize
power consumption (typical 3.5W) through the use of a high efficiency power supply
and a low power chipset. It features an overnight mode (i.e. reduction in power
during after-work hours) as well as other power saving features.
Please refer to the Allied Telesis Installation Guide before connecting the power
source.
• ART Synccard2 :
– ExtIn:
Please plug in the external source for synchronization here.
– Out1:
Defines syncgroup # 1. The three different syncgroups are characterized by
their time delay related to syncgroup # 1. At least one camera has to be con-
nected here if you are using active targets (e.g. Fingertracking, Flystick3).
Refer to chapter 6.4 on page 83 for more information.
– Out2:
Defines syncgroup # 2. The time delay related to syncgroup # 1 is 480µs.
– Out3:
Defines syncgroup # 3. The time delay related to syncgroup # 1 is 960µs.
• USB port:
Please plug in all USB based devices here (e.g. ART radio transceiver for Fly-
stick2/3, Trivisio wireless transceivers, YEI wired inertial sensors, refer to chapter 6
on page 71).
• Ethernet port:
Please connect the controller to your local network using an RJ45 cable.
Mount the cameras at the desired position before connecting the cables. The ART-
TRACK cameras have to be connected via twisted pair cables either to the internal Eth-
ernet switch of the controller or to an external Ethernet switch. The external switch itself
has to be connected to the controller.
i
Older switches sometimes do have uplink ports which are not suitable
for connecting to the camera. Only use the normal ports of the switch.
The controller is equipped with an internal switch (100 Base-TX) which serves for the
connection to the cameras (suitable for small systems, i.e. ≤ 4 cameras). Larger systems
(i.e. > 4 cameras) have to be equipped with an external switch which must be connected
to any port (except for the uplink port) of the internal switch of the controller.
