USB over Ethernet

[Euan]

It implies in the spec you can hang anything off a hub no bother

Have you had any more luck since?

Hi Kevin

yes. I use a Dlink 7 port hub and it worked fine

I plugged the main imaging camera into the silex and the guide camera through the hub and then into the silex

I found i had to do it this way

I hope that helps

It doesn't recognise either the DSi camera or Atik 383 when connecting through an attached hub. It does recognise both cameras when plugged directly into it. This then means there are no more connections availble for the rest of the stuff. I tried to work around this by connecting the Silex to a gigabit switch and using a 10/100 Belkin ethernet to USB hub for the slow devices. The Silex Virtual USB software recognised both hubs and would connect to all six devices. I then found that the set up was very sluggish compared to being connected by an ordinary usb hub and there seemed to be some strange issue with the Atik camera image being more nosiy with banding visible. The system would also disconnect devices then reconnect them every few seconds. It may possibly work with a bit more tinkering but I am running out of time so I have swapped back to running it via a USB hub and a local PC controlled by a remote desktop via an ethernet connection.

Any joy yet Kevin?

It would be revolutionary device if it worked with CCD cameras

Euan I have not had chance to try it out again since returning from Kelling. Alan/Steve it would be great if you could let me know what settings you have on your set up
