5MP camera system
The 5 MP system is AR 51's standard real-time tier — up to 12 cameras per server at 120–240 fps, scaling across as many PCs as your capture volume needs. This page lists the recommended PC, GPU, network cards, storage, and motherboard.
AR 51 5 MP system — 8 parallel 5GigE cameras
AR 51 is a markerless motion capture solution that leverages RGB cameras and deep-learning algorithms to deliver real-time results. Our system processes data from 8 parallel 5GigE cameras, collectively generating between 4.7 and 8.7 Gigapixels of data per second. This data is then meticulously handled by powerful GPUs. The substantial computational load demands high-end resources.
The hardware specifications of the AR 51 system have undergone rigorous testing. It's crucial to emphasize that any compromise in the quality of components could significantly impair the system's performance and speed.
PC Specification
Make sure the motherboard can support both two network cards and the GPU:
* Make sure there are free slots for 2 PCIe expansion cards. 4090/4080 cards are bulky and do not use water-cooling.
* The 2 additional PCIe slots should support a minimum of PCIe3 x4 mode
| Component | Example Type | Information |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i9 13900K / 1700 Tray | The CPU should have a minimum of 20 PCIe lanes to support the network cards and the GPU. |
| Motherboard | Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX | Requirements: - PCIe 4 for RTX 4090 - 2× PCIe slots for Ethernet extension cards (3 GB/s each, PCIe3 x4 mode) |
| Memory (RAM) | DDR5 64GB (32x2) 5200 Corsair | Minimum speed: 4000 |
| Storage (HDD) | M.2 SSD 1.0TB | 512GB should also suffice. Do not use a SATA hard drive since it will take bandwidth from the PCIe. Also, make sure to position this SSD on the dedicated M.2-direct-to-CPU slot on the motherboard |
| GPU (RTX 4080) | Gigabyte RTX 4080 | When not using water cooling 4090 cards can be bulky. Ensure the motherboard has space for two additional PCIe network cards. |
| Water Cooling | Corsair iCUE H150i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU Cooler | 4090 without water cooling is very bulky and does not leave space for the 2 PCIe cards |
| 2x PCI-e Network cards | Quad-port 5G POE+ Framer Grabber Amazon , Alibaba | 2x PCIe network cards with 4x ports (5Gbps each, RJ45 or SFP+). |
