Proposal

Currently it's not possible to connect more than 4 cameras (Camera ID: You can connect up to four ZED or ZED Mini cameras to a single PC at once. ) Would it be possible to increase this limit to 8 for svo playback?

Use-Case

I recorded many scenes with 8 cameras on 2 PCs, and know I'm trying to play them back in one unity scene, but I'm unable to play more than 4 SVOs at the same time.

Anything else?

Hi,

For the moment, the number of cameras is limited to 4. We initially added this limit because each ZED Camera instance required a certain number of layers. We will look into your request and see if we can increase the maximum number of cameras.

I'll keep you informed.

Best,

Hi, thanks. It would be highly appreciated if it would be possible to increase the number of cameras to 8. That would really help to advance our project and the research in volumetric video.

I made a custom branch where the limit is increased to 8 (https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-unity/tree/v3.8_increase_nb_of_cameras). Let me know if you face some issues. I tested it on my side and it was working fine.

I can officially add this change for the next release of the Unity plugin (v4.0).
