1  Other / Off-topic / USB info for 60 Camera Photogrammetry rig on: February 09, 2014, 11:45:44 AM
Hi guys, so I have a bit of a technical question and I thought to myself where is there a lot of people that a VERY computer/network savy and can come up with unique/custom solutions and bam I thought of all our smart mining brothers.  Seeing as this isn't about mining or BTC at all really I figured this was about the only place I could post this without being lol, off topic!

I am in the process of setting up a 60 camera Photogrammetry rig for my new business.  All of my camera's have a USB port on them so they can be connected to a PC so we can retrieve the RAW data from them.  Cams are mounted on Tripods around my studio and I need to find a way to connect all 60 cams back to  my PC via USB otherwise I have to pull all 60 sd cards and pull the data off them that way (which obviously will be a huge pita and extremely time consuming).

Basically I have 10 tripods with 6 cams per pod so I was thinking of mounting a 6 or 8 port USB hub on each pod, but how the hell do I get that hub cable back to my PC.  The furtherest pod is around 40' from my PC (cable length, considering I would have to go up to the ceiling and over and back down to the PC as I can't have cables on the floor because of trip hazard for the clients).

As a start up we have spent a lot of our budget already on just the cams, mounts, tripods etc so cost is a pretty big consideration.

Any help you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.
