-For multi-camera video, you should use Sony PlayStation Eye cameras (or other USB or Firewire cameras) and record a multi-camera video using iPiRecorder. Current release of iPi Desktop Motion Capture does not have other multi-camera options.

 == Framerate ==
 It is recommended that you record all videos at maximum available framerate. High framerate helps reduce motion blur and capture fine details of the motion.

+==== USB controllers ====
 All modern computers (e.g. dual-core and better) based on Intel, AMD and Nvidia chipsets have two high-speed USB (USB 2.0) controllers on board. That should give you enough bandwidth to be able to record with 4 cameras at 640x480 (raw Bayer format) at 60 FPS, or 6 cameras at 640x480 (raw Bayer format) at 40 FPS.
 Under certain circumstances you may need to get additional [[USB controllers]].
