What is the difference between the OptiHub and the OptiHub 2?

The OptiHub is a legacy device that has been replaced with the OptiHub 2. Both are designed to provide synchronization and power to the USB-based mocap system. The OptiHub 2 is designed to provide the same functionality, but with more power.

Flex 13 cameras can stream video data when connected to the OptiHub; however, LED illumination will be disabled due to insufficient power. They must be connected to the OptiHub 2 to power the on-camera LED illumination.

 Flex 13

• OptiHub: no LED illumination enabled
• OptiHub 2: high-power LED illumination mode

Flex 3 (V100:R2)

• Generic USB Hub: Standard LED illumination mode
• OptiHub: Standard & high-power LED illumination mode
• OptiHub 2: Standard & high-power LED illumination mode

Using the OptiHub and the OptiHub 2 in the same system

The OptiHub can be incorporated in the same system with the OptiHub 2. But considering the power requirement and compatibility, all Flex 13 cameras must be route through the OptiHub 2.
