I just bought my cameras and didn’t realize foresight sold the software on their site. I’m assuming this is the same software as on the SC website that offers at $490 a year https://shop.swingcatalyst.com/produ...alyst-software

Thanks so much for the post, I really appreciate the help!!!
Had I have read your post or the directions in detail I'd be further along !
Step Golf Simulator Forum says to have launch monitor software running. I did not do that because I associated LM software as something that would be an operating system for my LM and not one of Foresights gaming platforms.......my mistake. Remote in from Foresight corrected this with starting FSX2020 before starting SC. LM now shows in "Hardware" set up for SC. Now I need to upgrade my PC so both can run at the same time.
I requested help from Foresight and SC............have yet to hear from SC (I do realize they are based in Norway) got a return call from Foresight in about an hour.Leave a comment:

StanMI - I don't see anything weird or special in my setup. Have you reviewed the SC Webpage?: How to setup launch monitor as capture trigger – Swing Catalyst - Help Center- Start Swing Catalyst and open Hardware settings from the settings menu
- Make sure you have connected your launch monitor device to the computer
- Make sure the the launch monitor software is running*
- Under Launch Monitor check the Enabled box to start registering ball and **club data from the launch monitor
- Check Use as trigger to automatically trigger video recordings when a shot is registered
- Swing Catalyst will now automatically trigger a video recording every time a shot is registered.
Beyond that, I might try the uninstall/reinstall and ensuring that AV and firewall are not interfering. I also always run these kinds or programs as Administrator. Seems to fix certain gremlins with FSX.Leave a comment:

Purchased directly from Foresight. From watching a few YouTube videos it seems where others have selected a launch monitor I have a search function but it returns zero monitors to select. I'm plugged in with USB.Leave a comment:

Hmm, do not recall anything specific. I will check the settings later on today. I do recall selecting GC Quad as my monitor at some point. as an aside, what license did you buy and did you buy it from Foresight sports or direct from Swing Catalyst. IIRC - not all licenses have launch monitor support.Leave a comment:

Need a little help getting up and running with SC. I'm not showing any launch monitors in the hardware settings.
What, if anything, did you have to do to set up your monitor ??Leave a comment:

mtheurer - yes, Swing Catalyst is an annual subscription. Options to buy through Foresight Sports (which I do) and direct and three levels depending on how many cameras you are supporting. I want to say the purchase through Foresight might be a tad less expensive and I think they through in a free course depending on when you purchase. Anyway, this is what I have done. Free updates for the year and on-line and on PC storage of video sessions.
I use two Imaging Source DFK 33UX273 cameras with A3Z2812CS-MPWIR lenses. I have them set up down the line from the rear view and face on for my right handed swing. I run them at their native 1440 x 1080 and get the full 238 fps in full color. As Surfthing Computers has mentioned there are plenty of ways to optimize the cameras for your setup. Only 'gothca' is to ensure the Imaging source camera optimization program is closed before you open Swing Catalyst or it sometimes causes issues. Proper DC lighting is the hey to success here IMO. The cameras are pricey and there are other options but I am very happy with the results. So far, rock solid results and performance when using both FSX2020 and Play (and the unmentionable software FWIW). I have not used the Cameras with FSX Pro but I do not see why if would not work as advertised as well.Leave a comment:

That is a bummer. I have the IS cameras. Foresight has integrated them with FSX 2020 and then got involved with Swing Catalyst. I guess I would have to download the free trial and see what happens. I can't imagine I am the only one with IS cameras (very nice and expensive) that would like to switch to Swing Catalyst. -
Tom Howarth Technically I have seen them "work". They are not stable however because they have never designed the software to work with the camera drivers. They have a list of compatible cameras on their website and Imaging Source is not on there.Leave a comment:

At some point I will probably add swing cameras to my GCQuad. Looks like you have to pay a yearly subscription for SC, correct? Based on your responses, you think it is worth it instead of trying to find something that doesn't charge a yearly fee (or maybe all options require subscription)? What is your camera setup? TIA. -
Will the Imaging Source cameras you sell work well with Swing Catalyst? -
Kayeton cameras are great for what they are don't get me wrong. However they are driverless and offer less control of the image. With the Swing Catalyst Cameras, they have developed very specific drivers that allow more option in the program and will allow for fine tuning.Originally posted by fortysixandtwo View PostLeave a comment:

950.00 for a branded swing cat camera is ridiculously overpriced. The kayeton 120fps cameras work great for less than 100.00 or if you really need 226 fps you can get blackfky3 usb for 300-400.00Leave a comment:
