Origin system components
The Origin system comprises the following components:
Component Description
PC running
Vicon Evoke
software
Spec/requirements TBC
Evoke is the Vicon app that controls Vicon devices and
outputs object poses via the DataStream SDK.
Viper
cameras
Approved description to come - with RGB status LED, IR
positioning LED, temperature sensors and accelerometer.
PoE switch Spec/requirements TBC
Ethernet
cabling
Standard RJ-45 terminated Cat5e cable
Vicon
Beacon
wireless
synchroniza
tion unit
Vicon master synchronization unit whose main function
is to receive the Vicon Ethernet synchronization pulse
from the PoE+ and broadcast this wirelessly to Pulsar
clusters. It broadcasts the sync signal over Ethernet for
the cameras and over the radio at 2.4 GHz for the
clusters. This ensures the cluster LEDs are on only during
the camera exposure period, maximizing power
efficiency.

Component Description
Pulsar
clusters
Synchronized active tracking objects containing eight
LEDs that can be configured inunique LED patterns to
allow for tracking by the Evoke software. The clusters are
battery-operated and rechargeable through a standard
micro-USB connection.
Micro-USB
charger
cable
Standard micro-USB cable?
Note that an additional app (TBC) is required to control Evoke and
connected Vicon devices.

Pulsar status LEDs and button
LED status Description
Green on Pulsar battery is charging*
Green off Pulsar battery is fully charged
Red on Pulsar battery low (<=20%)
Red off Pulsar battery has charge (>20%)
Blue off Radio disabled
Blue on Pulsar paired to Beacon
Blue on → Blue off (slow
pulsing)
Pulsar on and paired but not receiving
comms from Beacon (will be in continuous
mode)
Blue on → Blue off (fast
pulsing)
Pulsar on but not paired (will be in
continuous mode)
Red on → Red off → Blue
on → Blue off → Green on
→ Green off
Boot sequence
Red on → Red off → Blue
on → Blue off → Green on
→ Green off (sequence
repeating)
Cluster selected in software
* To ensure the charge indication LEDs are visible, the cluster automatically
switches on when plugged into the charger.
Available user commands:
• Status LEDs can be disabled.
• Enable/disable selection of Pulsar.

Using the Pulsar button
To Do this
Turn on cluster On a cluster that is turned off, give the button a
single short press.
Turn off cluster On cluster that is turned on, press the button for 2
seconds.*
Reboot cluster
(retains settings)
On cluster that is turned on, press the button for 10
seconds.*
Unpair cluster
from Beacon
During the 10-second period after booting only,
double-press the button.
*Can be disabled in software to prevent accidental use.

Battery run time
The following measurements have been performed with multiple prototype
units that are representative of final production hardware. They are
presented here to assist Dreamscape in specifying the number of units to
provide for their setup. However, the final numbers stated in released
documentation may differ once extended testing has been complete. Leave
in for now?****

Setting up an Origin system
To set up your Origin system, complete the following procedures:
•Start Evoke and load tracking objects (page 11)
•Turn on Beacon, check status and set pairing mode (page 12)
•Turn on clusters and pair with a Beacon (page 13)
Important
Before you begin, ensure Beacon is connected to a powered PoE
switch and that this switch is connected to the host PC, which runs
Evoke.
