Control multiple cameras from PC?

Post by InSides »

Hi all,
first post here. Allow me to start by thanking the author of dslrdashboard for the immense contribution he is making to enable artists to showcase their vision.

I have been searching to a solution to my conundrum to no avail.

Namely, I intended to control three DSLR's from one PC at the same time using dslrdashboard. I mainly managed to do so, by using three MR-3040 routers, configuring them to different subnets, and using three wifi adapters at the PC.

Installed the PC version of dslrdashboard, and connected to all three cameras. No problem.

But my idea was to use three monitors and see all three cameras' live view at the same time. On three separate monitors connected to the PC. I can't seem to do it.

So I tried to open three instances of dslrdashboard. This worked fine, and I could set each dslrdashboard instance to each camera, to a separate monitor. I could open up live view and control settings.

However, as soon as I hit record for any camera, dslrdashboard crashes.

Any thoughts?

Didn't try with more routers but with one worked fine.
Connected the Nikon D7100 and Canon 70D to the router with USB hub.
Started 2 instances of qDD on Windows.
In one instance I connected to 7100 and the second to 70D
Both where working fine including live view and and recording.
