Thank you very much for the info.
I keep you updated on this setup.
Feel free to ask if you want me to test future improvements.

Thank you Joan for your reply. It really helped me testing my set of cameras with the Kinovea software!
I did some tests and I encountered some issues which confuses me (Kinovea 0.8.26). More details bellow the listing:
1) I cannot reach high framerates by only changing the parameters available in the Camera Configuration in Kinovea (see test details).
2) There are multiple differences between the Kinovea camera profile and the "Live Video" profile from uEye cockpit: multiple controls and auto modes are disabled in Kinovea profile. I can send you a comparisson.
3) Kinovea changes the .ini file when I overwrite it in the Kinovea\CameraProfiles\IDS folder by a .ini file generated by uEye cockpit. But I can reach higher framerates! (see test details)
4) When a profile from uEye cockpit is used, the bandwith shown in Kinovea is much larger than the one in displayed in the camera properties in uEye Cockpit (see test details).
Can you clarify this and maybe give me advice on how to setup the cameras in the most efficient way?
Thank you very much!

Re: Experimental version - 0.8.26 (14 replies, posted in General)
I have two IDS UI-5240CP-C-HQ cameras in my setup.
First I have set up the IDS cameras via the "IDS camera manager" (setup the IP configuration) and via the "uEye cockpit" (set camera parameters and load them to the camera).
Next I started Kinovea 0.8.15 and was able to select the IDS camera's via "Select Source > Select another device > IDS camera name. When I selected one of the IDS camera's I only saw a black screen. Does anybody know what goes wrong and how to fix this?
I also tried the experimental 0.8.26 version. In this version I can preview and record images from the IDS cameras. But at the top of the image I see @17fps although the camera is setup in the "uEye cockpit" to have 60fps. Also, altough I configure the camera in the "uEye cockpit" to a monochrone image, the image in Kinovea will be in full colour. I looks like the camera parameters are ignored. Can anybody help me to get highspeed recordings?
