  1. Couple of questions:
    Your diagram shows 5 base stations, I assume not all are active at the same time? Or does Mars work with more than 4 base stations?
    Is it stiill possible to use the evaluate Livelink frame blueprint method with Mars? (We've been using that to switch between cameras with their own trackers, as I couldn't find a way to switch the target in the Livelink component)
    Would you say Mars is better in terms of tracking performance than the old Vive system, or just more convenient? (Genlock is not something we'll be using in the foreseeable future)

    Thanks for your great work!

  2. Boss, I found linetracebychannel the position is wrong when I used ndiplay, I need similar to click interaction with scene actor in switchboard. What can I do? Thanks a lot

  3. Does anybody know what to do when only 1 rover & tracker turns white and blue and the other rover kees pulsing grey on the Mars interface?
    During the camera calibration phase, the tracker + rover on the calibration board shows up on the Mars, but the other one doesn’t (keeps pulsing grey)
