problems with 3 cameras #395

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.
I have 3 cameras, same vendor.I am developing under VB.net
2.
I began using 2 cameras example and works fine. Very good I must say.(in C# and 
in VB.net. I can select different resolutions for each. 
3.
I added a third camera but I have problems. The system is not reliable.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Well , the expected output is 3 cameras view, but system some times shows the 3 
cameras and other times only 2 at the same time. The last camera to connect 
hold the message "video connecting" and videocapture device screen is grey.
But another times, the 3 are connected and working fine. I though it was power 
supply issue but I use 2 USB hubs ,one with power supply but have the same 
problem.
I am lost

What version of the product are you using?

I am using the last version 2.2.5 . Vb.net VS2012. OS Win8.1

Please provide any additional information below.

You are lucky that you have at least 2 cameras working of the same vendor. Some 
cameras of the same model simply refuse to work together (drivers issue maybe).

Thanks for the response.
It is an USB bandwitdh issue. If I connect the 3 cameras in different USB
roots , I have not problems .(well I discovered that tonigh and I must
investigate/test a few more to know if is a reliable situation )
With 2 cameras I have not problem  using a USB hub (at the beguinning I had
when I used USB hub from China , but with a Trust brand , I have not
problems ) but I "had" with 3 . But like I told you , using 3 different USB
ports it is OK (I think )

Sincerely,
Santiago
