Vicon MX Architecture Models
You can combine Vicon MX and third-party elements to create an
architecture that meets your application requirements. This modular
approach enables you to expand Vicon MX as needed.
The following sections illustrate some common Vicon MX architecture
models. If your particular application requires a more complex
architecture than is illustrated in this book, Vicon Support can help
you to consider the requirements for designing a suitable Vicon MX
architecture.
Important
Vicon MX runs on its own dedicated network, rather than being integrated
into a general communications network. Routers are not supported for
connecting elements in a Vicon MX architecture.
Basic Motion Capture Architecture
The most basic Vicon MX architecture consists of from one-eight
MX cameras, an MX Ultranet, and the host PC (for descriptions of
these system elements, see Vicon MX Architecture Elements on
page 1-1). This basic architecture is illustrated in Figure 1-1.
