Sending Trackables

The Sending Trackables section is where Trackables are displayed and selected. The Trackable Settings in the Output Options section are then applied to the selected Trackable.

  • Beacon IDs and Trackables are sent over RTTrPM.
  • When you patch a Beacon or Mini Beacon or Rigid Body Frame or Soft Body Frame to a Trackable, a BlackTrax output sends the name of the Trackable (for example Luke instead of 1).
    • The position and orientation of the Trackable is generated from the Beacon or Frame that is patched to it.
    • When you repatch a Trackable to a different Beacon or Frame, the position of the new Beacon or Frame is sent to the Trackable and out to the third party.
  • Beacons and Frames that are not patched to a Trackable will send as Beacon IDs. You can repatch Trackables to different Beacons and Frames in the BlackTrax software and all connected third parties will receive the update automatically. You do not need to manually repatch Beacons in every third party.
