The following topics describe how to put together a Vicon Valkyrie system that consists of the minimum components needed for a basic setup.

> Macro (children)

In addition to setting up a basic Vicon system with Valkyrie cameras, an Ethernet (PoE++) switch and a Vicon Valkyrie host PC, if required you can:

- Extend the system to include additional Valkyrie cameras with further switches; add a Vicon Lock to include supported third-party devices such as supported FLIR cameras, analog capture devices, synchronized output devices, remote triggering devices, genlock/timecode video devices, and VESA Stereo video devices (see [Extend a basic Valkyrie system](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Valkyrie/pages/1756221)). For more information on these types of devices, see the [*Vicon Systems Setup Guide*](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Connect/pages/1613723) or the relevant Lock guide.
- Use older Vicon cameras (Vantage, Vero or Viper) cameras with Valkyrie cameras in a mixed system.  
For details of the Vicon components and third-party devices that you can use with Vicon Valkyrie cameras, see [Set up a mixed Valkyrie system with Vantage or Vero cameras](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Valkyrie/pages/1770423).
