Can an OptiTrack camera be connected directly to a PC via Ethernet or USB port?

All multi-camera tracking applications require cameras to be routed through either the OptiHub or an Ethernet Switch. 

V100, Flex 3, or Slim 3U models can be plugged directly into a USB port for a single camera vision application use. Sychronization and 3D reconstruction will not be supported with plugging multiple USB cameras directly onto the PC unless they are routed through the OptiHub.

Flex 13 cameras require the OptiHub 2 and Prime Series and S250e cameras require an Ethernet switch for full functionality, even if used in a single-camera application.
