What you need

The system ships with the equipment below. Stands, clamps, and network cables differ from venue to venue, so you provide those.

Kit contents — LiDAR sensors, server, PoE switch and calibration wand in the box; stand, super clamp and network cable provided by you

In the box

Item

What it does

LiDAR sensor

4

Scans the stage and builds the point cloud.

Server

1

A 2U rack unit. Processes the sensor data and serves the workspace screen.

PoE switch

1

Powers the sensors: one network cable carries both power and data to each sensor.

Power cable

2

One for the server, one for the PoE switch.

Calibration wand

1

Used in Stage 1 to align the sensors into one shared coordinate system.

Quantities are for the standard four-sensor kit. Use your delivery list for the actual sensor count and included peripherals.

Operator peripherals

A monitor, HDMI cable, keyboard, and mouse are required. You type IP addresses and filenames during setup, so the keyboard is not optional. See Connect and power on for the connection and startup steps.

Installation supplies (not included)

Per sensor you need one stand (or one spot on the truss), one clamp, one stud, and one network cable.

How to choose

Stand or truss

1 per sensor

A light stand that reaches 3–5 m (10–16 ft), or truss already rigged over the stage.

Super clamp

1 per sensor

Grips a stand pole or truss pipe, and lets you angle the sensor and lock it in place.

90° mount (for stands)

1 per stand

On a light stand the sensor can only face down if a mount or similar fitting turns the super clamp 90°. Not needed when hanging from truss.

3/8 inch male stud (spigot)

1 per sensor

Joins the clamp to the sensor. The sensor's thread is always 3/8 inch (3/8-16) — the standard on lighting and photo stands, so the brand does not matter, but a small camera tripod's 1/4 inch thread does not fit. If your clamp's own thread is 1/4 inch, add a 1/4-to-3/8 adapter.

Network cable (Cat6 or better)

Sensors + 2

One from each sensor to the switch, one from the switch to the server, and one from the server's OSC port to the computer running your receiving software.

Cable ties

As needed

To fix the network cable to the stand or truss. If you rig to truss and have safety cables, bring them too.

You configure the integration in your receiving application. Prepare OSC UDP reception and map the point-cloud or skeleton data you need. See the OSC message format.

Once you have everything, go to Mounting the sensors.
