Hi all,

 

I just installed the new PhantomZerOS v7.4 software on my Windows 7 x64 machine. I am trying to get visualization with capture running now. I enable citp transmitting on 127.0.0.1 (local loopback IP) and it begins to transmit. Then I start capture and The desk crashes. Capture is set to automatically select which network device to listen for data on.

 

So I guess my question is, how do I setup visualization with capture using ZerOS (frog2 surface).

 

Thanks

Hi Codebone,

 

Have you had this working on any previous versions of Phantom ZerOS?

 

What are your settings withing SETUP > NETWORK > CAPTURE?

I hadn't tried on any other version besides 7.4.

The settings on network > capture are "Enabled" and "127.0.0.1" for the IP address.

 

On a side note, using the physical frog2 desk, capture detected the universes over Art-net but not citp.

Hi Codebone,

 

If you double click on the 127.0.0.1 in Phantom ZerOS, you should be able to select from other IP ranges on the PC - Phantom allows you to route the IP traffic from any of the Network Cards within the PC it's running on.

 

127.0.0.1 is the local loopback IP (also known as 'localhost') - it implies that the network card you have selected hasn't had it's IP address configured (maybe it's set to be allocated it's IP by DHCP, and no DHCP server is present on the network? or maybe it's disconnected from the network?)

 

Phantom ZerOS, unlike the real desks, doesn't allow configuration of the IP address of the device itself - you'll need to use the Windows control panel tools to alter the IP configuration, then restart Phantom ZerOS.

 

Note that in order to connect to a visualiser, you do need an Ethernet connection active - you can't just use the loopback, even if Capture is running on the same PC.

 

I hope this helps,

Hi Peter, I also have the same problem with Capture but do not know what you mean by ''Note that in order to connect to a visualiser, you do need an Ethernet connection active - you can't just use the loopback, even if Capture is running on the same PC'' could you help please....??
