 The usage of '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration is similar to [[User_Guide_for_Dual_Depth_Sensor_Configuration|Dual Depth Sensor]] configuration except the following aspects:
-* '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration requires [http://ipisoft.com/software/standard-edition Standard Edition]. In other editions export is disabled for projects with '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration.
+* '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration requires [https://ipisoft.com/software/standard-edition Standard Edition]. In other editions export is disabled for projects with '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration.
 * Recording from three depth sensors requires at least three separate USB 2.0/3.0 controllers in your PC, similar to recording with 6 PS Eye cameras. [[USB controllers|More info on USB controllers]].
 * Calibration of '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration can be performed only with [[Dual_Depth_Sensor_Calibration_using_Flashlight|glowing marker like flashlight]]. This implies that, in calibration video, the color stream should be recorded along with depth data: only modes with "(depth+color)" should be used. Action videos can still be recorded with depth data only.

 === Introduction ===
-Starting from version '''2.5.0.158''', [[iPi Mocap Studio]] includes experimental support of '''Triple Depth Sensor''' configuration. It helps to solve occlusion problems thus allowing to record more complex motions and to track two actors with depth sensors. The quality is comparable with 6 PS Eye configuration but the capture area is smaller (about 2.5 by 2.5 meters).
