Multiple direct-x cameras
Hello, I'm trying to use multiple direct-x compatible cameras with a Dewesoft S-Box but only 1 camera is working at a time. I am wondering what the capabilities are when using direct-x cameras and if multiple cameras are possible. Thanks

Hi, yes, DEWESoft can use more then one DirectX cameras.
This is how:
- first go to settings, devices and click on "+" button
- in the pop-up window click on "+" next to DirectX
- all DirectX cameras will appear under devices>DirectX
- in channel setup, Video tab will appear
- here cameras can be set on used or unused
- when going to measure, both cameras should be available
Thanks for replying. I can set up multiple cameras but now have a different issue.
When using the S-Box at default camera settings (YUY2, 640x480, 30fps), only 1 video channel will work, the other 2 show "no video."
However, if I reduce the resolution and fps to (320x240, 15fps) all 3 cameras will work.
In interest of curiosity, I hooked up the same 3 cameras with a Dewe43 on my laptop and they all work at the default settings (YUY2, 640x480, 30fps) with no issues.
The laptop/Dewe43 combo is running Win 7 64bit with Dewesoft X1 SP5, the S-Box is running Win 7 32bit with Dewesoft X2 SP1.
Are there any settings I can check or anything I can try to get them working on the S-Box?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

S-BOX uses shared USB ports.
Can you please try to plug one camera to USB in front and one on the back of the S-BOX?
