There are two types of Origin pods:

  • Arcade - top-down tracking suitable for a head-mounted display and props 
  • Experience - provides comprehensive tracking for a full-body avatar experience


Representative network topology

  • Each PoE+ switch can support up to 24 Viper or 18 ViperX cameras.
  • If there are more cameras than can be accommodated using a single PoE+, you can chain up to 2 PoE+ switches to connect a larger system. If there are more than two PoE+ switches, an additional Gigabit PoE+ with a 10 GbE uplink is required, due to the volume of data traffic.
  • Ensure any Beacons are connected into the either the primary PoE+ or the Gigabit PoE+ switch with 10 GbE uplink (depending on system requirement).
