Tracker 3.10 is compatible with the following Valkyrie camera models: - **Valkyrie VK26**, with a resolution of up to 26.2 megapixels (5120 x 5120) and full frame rate capture speed of 150 fps - **Valkyrie VK16**, with a resolution of up to 16.1 megapixels (5120 x 3152) and full frame rate capture speed of 240 fps ![image](media://5fb60ffd-8ab1-46b4-9e03-9b9ad625398e) > Macro (scroll-pagebreak) Vicon Valkyrie cameras are fitted with: - A unique, new varifocal lens developed by Vicon to give unparalleled range and precision. - IP65-rated protection, which ensures they are suitable for use in challenging environments. - Three status LEDs, which give clearly visible camera status information. For more information, see [Valkyrie status LEDs and TFT LCD display](#ValkyrieStatusLEDs). - An accelerometer, which enables you to select a camera in the volume by tapping it, and which monitors the camera position to alert you if any cameras are accidentally knocked or moved from their intended positions. For more information, see [Valkyrie Tap to Select feature](#ValkyrieTapToSelect) and [Valkyrie Bump detection and display](#ValkyrieBumpDetection). - Thermal sensors, which monitor camera temperature levels so that you are warned of any changes in temperature that could affect the system status. For more information, see [Valkyrie temperature sensor display](#ValkyrieTemperatureSensor). To connect Valkyrie cameras to the host PC, Vicon offers a range of options, depending on the number of cameras you want to use and whether you are adding them to an existing Vicon system. To determine the most appropriate topology for your system, see the **Valkyrie system diagrams** page in the [Setup and connectivity documentation](https://help.vicon.com/space/Connect) and contact your local Vicon Sales representative. For synchronization to third-party devices and timecode, together with connections for analog devices, you can add a Vicon Lock Lab to your Valkyrie system. > ⚠️ **Important** > ⚠️ > ⚠️ > ⚠️ Vicon Valkyrie cameras can be used in the same system as Vicon Vantage, Vero, Viper and Bonita cameras, but if you add Valkyrie cameras to a system that includes T-Series cameras, the T-Series cameras will not work. > ⚠️ > ⚠️ Also note that using T-Series cameras with Tracker 3.10 is not supported or tested. Use of T-Series cameras with Tracker 3.10 and later is at your own risk. For information on using these cameras, see the documentation for versions of Tracker earlier than 3.10. In addition to working with the latest version of Vicon Tracker, Vicon Valkyrie cameras can also be used with the Vicon Control app. > ❌ **Caution**: To maintain IP65 protection for your Vicon Valkyrie cameras, ensure that if you remove IP65 cable caps (and/or lens covers), you replace them correctly, as described in [Remove and replace IP65 cable cap](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Valkyrie/pages/1756311) and **Set camera focus and aperture**, steps 2 and 9) in the *Vicon Valkyrie Quick Start Guide* found in the [Vicon Valkyrie documentation](https://help.vicon.com/space/Valkyrie). For information on setting up Vicon Valkyrie systems, see the [Vicon Valkyrie documentation](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Valkyrie/overview). ## > Macro (anchor) Valkyrie status LEDs and TFT LCD display - Location: Camera's **Properties** pane > **Settings** section To help you monitor the status of Vicon Valkyrie cameras, the cameras include status LEDs and a TFT LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display): - Three LEDS provide feedback on camera operation, one pair on either side of the camera, and one below the display. - The display on the front of the Vicon Valkyrie camera, combined with the status LEDs' color, gives information about the current camera status. Under normal conditions (unless a connected application changes the display, and unless the display has been disabled in Tracker), the display changes to reflect the camera status. ![image](media://fb97ffbf-ab9a-435c-b038-2b80eb71a4a2) ** To change the display of Vicon Valkyrie camera status information:** 1. In the **System Resources** list, select a camera (or all cameras). 2. In the** Settings **section of the** Properties** pane, select or clear **Enable LEDs** and/or **Enable Display**. With **Enable LEDs** and **Enable Display** selected, while the camera is booting, the display shows the Valkyrie logo and the status LED color changes from gold to blue when it connects to Tracker. The display changes to reflect the camera's status, giving information about camera status, for example when the camera has finished booting, whether it is currently active, and its calibration status. ![image](media://78924f9b-47fa-46e2-9397-4d03b03eb9a3) When **Enable Display** is cleared, the display is blank. When **Enable Accelerometry** is selected (see **Valkyrie bump detection and display** in [Tracker 3.1 new features and functions](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker310/pages/13927806)), the image on the display rotates based on the orientation of the camera. ![image](media://850b1add-4d7c-4f5e-aa71-ee626f887859) After the camera has booted, you can check the cameras' status by observing the status LEDs and the display on each camera. You can also monitor the camera status in Tracker. > Macro (scroll-pagebreak) ## > Macro (anchor) Valkyrie Tap to Select feature - Location: Camera's **Properties** pane > **Settings** section Vicon Valkyrie cameras provide a Tap to Select feature, which enables you to lightly tap the camera in the volume to select it (and deselect the other cameras). **Enable Tap to Select** is on by default. **To turn Tap to Select off or on:** 1. In the **System Resources** list, select the required camera. 2. In the **Properties** pane, go to the **Settings** section and clear or select **Enable Tap to Select**. Note that when **Enable Accelerometry** is selected, if you tap a calibrated camera too hard, the camera may be reported as 'bumped' (that is, its Bumped status may be selected in the Status section and it may be displayed with a 'caution' icon in the System Resources list). You can remove the camera's bumped status in Tracker. If this is a frequent occurrence, you can change its sensitivity to being tapped by reducing the **Bump Detection Sensitivity**. For information on removing a camera's bumped status and changing **Bump Detection Sensitivity**, see **Valkyrie bump detection and display** in [Tracker 3.1 new features and functions](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker310/pages/13927806). > Macro (scroll-pagebreak) ## > Macro (anchor) Valkyrie bump detection and display - Location: Camera's **Properties** pane > **Settings** section and Camera's** Properties** pane > **Status** section In addition to the **Tap to Select** feature (see [above](#ValkyrieTapToSelect)), Vicon Valkyrie cameras also provide bump detection. When **Enable Accelerometry** is selected, (its default state) bump detection works on calibrated cameras to alert you when they have moved from their calibrated positions. (This setting also turns on or off the auto-rotation of the display on Valkyrie cameras.) **To turn bump detection off or on:** 1. In the **System Resources** pane, select a camera (or all cameras). 2. In the **Properties** pane, expand the **Settings** section and clear or select **Enable Accelerometry**. When** Enable Accelerometry** is selected, if a calibrated camera is accidentally knocked, the camera's **Bumped** check box (in its **Status** properties) displays a check mark. Its icon also changes in the System Resources list. **To change the sensitivity of the accelerometer:** 1. In the **System Resources** list, select the required camera. 2. In the **Properties** pane, go to the Status section and select a different option in the **Bump Detection Sensitivity** menu. **To clear a camera's Bumped status:** For a single camera: 1. In the** System Resources** list, select the bumped camera. 2. In the **Status** section of the **Properties** pane, clear the **Bumped** check box. For all cameras: - Press Ctrl+Shift+B Note the following limitations: - Bump detection is active only on calibrated cameras. - Bump detection cannot detect movement that does not change the local gravity vector, for example. slow translation with no rotation; rotation about the G-vector. - Bump detection cannot detect movements that occur when the camera is not connected to a live system. - The camera is detected as bumped when the reading from the accelerometer is sufficiently different from the last reading that was sent. Therefore gradual changes (for example, a slipping camera mount) may not be detected until they are large enough to trigger a new notification. ## > Macro (anchor) Valkyrie temperature sensor display - Location: Camera's**Properties** pane > **Hardware** section > **Strobe Temp**, **Camera Body Temp 1** and **Camera Body Temp 2** Significant changes in camera temperature can have small effects on the camera's lens. Camera calibrations take into account lens intrinsics. Changes in these intrinsic properties can have small impacts on overall data quality. However, note that large temperature changes generally result in only very small data effects. Temperature monitoring is made available to optimize calibration-to-collection consistency. Vicon Valkyrie cameras have on-board temperature sensors. These onboard temperature sensors enable you to determine when cameras have reached a stable temperature from a cold start and to observe any change in camera temperature (possibly associated with environmental changes). The data for the onboard sensors is displayed in the **Hardware** section. A numeric indicator (in degrees Celsius) and a colored temperature indicator is displayed for each of the sensors. The color of the indicator changes to reflect a change in temperature: yellow (warming up to the temperature specified by the lower bounds), green (between the specified upper and lower bounds) or red (overheated above the upper bounds). > ℹ️ **Note** > ℹ️ In addition to the above warnings, when a camera's temperature sensors detect that the interior of the camera has reached the following values, Tracker warns you of your camera's status: > ℹ️ > ℹ️ - Hot Case: 65.00°C > ℹ️ - Critical: 75.00°C > ℹ️ - Shutdown: 80.00°C Because Vicon motion capture cameras are used in a wide variety of environments, a stable camera temperature will be different for different users. The **Camera**** Temperature Range** option enables you to set values that are representative of your laboratory environment. You can change the upper and lower bounds of the temperature range in the **Options** dialog box (F7). ![image](media://f65837cb-7dca-4a6d-95b4-de34d2bcf18f) # Support for Tobii Pro Glasses 3 You can now connect Tobii Pro Glasses 3 in Tracker via WiFi or Ethernet.
