With Shogun Live 1.5 and later, you can include up to four SDI video cameras (including sound) in your Vicon system.

This section describes how to set up SDI video cameras and related hardware, and how to connect them into your Vicon system.

When you have calibrated the SDI video cameras, you can overlay the motion capture data and check the solve against the video. You can also export the calibrated cameras with the image sequence directly into Autodesk® Maya® software as an FBX file. For more information, see *[Export an FBX file for use in Maya® software](https://help.vicon.com/space/ShogunPost121/1253736812/Export+from+Shogun+Post#ExportFBXtoMaya)* in the *Export from Shogun Post* section of *Getting started with Shogun Post*.

The following topics describe how to set up SDI video with a single Blackmagic URSA Mini 4K camera and an Evertz 5601MSC timecode generator, but the same principles apply to other supported hardware.

Shogun Live lets you link a calibrated SDI or Vicon Vue video reference camera to a rigid tracking object. This enables the video camera to be tracked, providing real-time 3D overlay in Shogun Live while the camera is moving and enabling the animation to be captured to the MCP.
