IPi Recorder System Requirements for Multiple PlayStation Eye Cameras System
From iPiSoft Wiki
- Computer (desktop or laptop):
- CPU: x86 compatible (Intel Pentium 4 or higher, AMD Athlon or higher), dual- or quad- core is preferable
- Operating system: Windows 8, 7, XP SP3, Vista (x86 or x64)
- USB: at least two USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 controllers
- For more info see USB controllers
- ExpressCard slot (for laptops)
- Optional, but highly recommended. It allows to install external USB controller in case of compatibility issues between cameras and built-in USB controllers, or if all USB ports are in fact connected to a single USB controller
- Storage system: HDD or SSD or RAID with write speed:
- For 4 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 70,4 MByte/sec
- For 6 cameras at 60 fps, 640 x 480 resolution: not less than 105,6 MByte/sec
- Note If your write speed is lower, you can work with 320 x 240 resolution and/or lower frame rate. Alternatively, you can use compressed mode (that gives 3-5 times lower required write speed, but the CPU performance may become a bottleneck)
- 3 to 6 Sony PlayStation Eye for PS3 cameras.
- for more info see Cameras and accessories#Cameras
- 4 to 9 active USB 2.0 extension cables (depending on number of cameras and scene set-up)
- Optional: tripods to place cameras
- for more info see Cameras and accessories#Tripods
- Mini Maglite (or other flashlight) for calibration
- for more infor see Cameras and accessories#Mini Maglite (or other flashlight) for calibration
