N MS HD-3000 Camera Code (LabView)

This looks very interesting. Personally, I'm not really sure how to implement it in our code. I know it's still in beta, but a good tutorial or some kind of document would help a lot.

We're using two cameras on two ports and switching back and forth. This causes a small 2-3 second delay. Is there any delay with your setup?

The code can stream all cameras simultaneously. Any delay would only come from the time it takes to switch streams on the dashboard from one to the other.

Sorry for the lack of documentation, that usually comes with the release. I've been working on this in my spare time and we've got a competition this weekend.

That's awesome - thanks for sharing

If it streams all of the cameras simultaneously, does it go over the 7Mbps bandwidth restriction?

And I totally understand about the documentation :-)

Bandwidth usage is dependent on the resolutions you select. We've 2x 160x120 @ 10FPS and 1x 424x240 @10fps streams simultaneously (three streams total) and hit ~2.1 mbps. I don't think it'll be an issue unless you want to go to standard resolutions or 30fps. Also, if you select the appropriate VI (I'll have to check which one) you can enable/disable streams. I need to look at expanding some of this capability in the future when I have more time.

I'll make a note to add a bandwidth counter/monitor.
