File Name: Nexus_2.14.0.139696h_x64.zip
With a host of automated features, intelligent processing, and flexible controls, Nexus 2 lets you focus on your research and not on your software.
Nexus 2.14 is a point release for Vicon Nexus, which is a *64-bit only* application. CGM2 has been updated and now uses Python 3. Before upgrading, please ensure your system remains compatible.

- Ability to use more FLIR video cameras in a Nexus system
- Improvements to using Python with Nexus
- Updates to CGM2
- You can now run an executable file from within Nexus.

- Digital device plug-ins are only compatible with 64-bit VDDs (Vicon digital device files): please contact the device vendor for information. If you use a VDD that does not have a 64-bit version, continue to use Nexus 2.12.# until the vendor of your VDD releases a 64-bit version of the VDD.
- Basler video cameras require a 32-bit version of Nexus, so if you want to continue to use them with Nexus, use Nexus 2.12.# or earlier.
- Legacy VPI operations (for example, proEMG) require a 32-bit version of Nexus, so if you use legacy VPI operations, ensure you use 2.12.# for post-processing.
Addressed issues:
- User-created normalized model output units are now handled properly when saving and re-loading a C3D.
- Digital device sync port can now be re-assigned to None after it has been previously been assigned to a port.
- File reader updates to better handle large .history files.
- Analog channels are no longer duplicated when running pipeline operations when the internal component IDs start at a value greater than 1.
- Plug-in Gait operation now skips subjects that do not appear to be using the Plug-in Gait marker set, eliminating the need to deselect non-Plug-in Gait subjects when processing.
- Plug-in Gait operation now calculates the upper body outputs that it can when the head is missing, as it did in versions of Nexus earlier than 2.13.
- SDK update: MATLAB utility object NexusSegment now retains subject information during the Create call when using matrices as the input data.
- Export ASCII operation now better handles raw frame data output for devices without subsamples, such as Blue Trident devices.
- The example scripts that are supplied with Nexus are now compatible with Python 3.
Requirements:
- Licensing: Nexus 2 license
- Supported operating system: Fully supported under Windows 10 (64-bit) (a .NET Framework of 4.5 and later), with limited testing under Windows 11.
- FLIR video camera integration requires a Lock Lab or Studio to synchronize the system.
- Vicon Blue Trident IMUs for Nexus integration are only compatible with Firmware 9.0.4 or later. To update the firmware for the Blue Trident sensor, download Vicon Capture.U Desktop 1.2 from https://www.vicon.com/software/capture-u/?section=downloads.
- Vicon Blue Trident IMUs requiring hard synchronization require a Vicon Beacon.
- Vicon Blue Thunder IMUs are not supported in Vicon Nexus 2.10 or later.
- Vicon Blue Thunder sensors are supported in Vicon Nexus 2.7 to Nexus 2.9.x.
Nexus 64-bit_OpenGL
OpenGL_64-bit
Nexus 2.13 and later (64-bit) is tested and fully supported with NVIDIA graphics processors. This is the Vicon-recommended graphics processor for PCs that are to run your Vicon system and Nexus software.
Using other graphics processors is not recommended and may affect the performance of the software.
If you experience issues with the software and you have been informed by Vicon Support that this is due to the graphics processor, note these points:
- Issues can occur when you first start the software, or may be due to a driver or Windows update.
- If you previously had a working configuration, consider rolling back the driver version or restoring Windows to a working restore point.
- Some laptops have both a dedicated graphics processor and an integrated processor. You can select the processor for use by an application. You can usually find the option for this by right-clicking the application’s shortcut. You can find further general controls in the NVIDIA control panel.
If an NVIDIA processor is not available and Nexus stops responding, the following workaround may help. It involves installing an additional file to the Nexus program directory. To do this, you need read/write access to this location and may require the help of an administrator.
- Download and unzip the file found in the OpenGL section at the bottom of the Nexus page on the Vicon website. Note that two versions of the DLL are available on this page. Ensure you select the required version of the DLL, which depends on your version of Nexus. For Nexus 2.13 and later, download the 64-bit version. Note that the filename is opengl32.dll for the 64-bit version, as well as for the 32-bit version.
- With Nexus closed, place the opengl32.dll file in the folder that contains the Nexus executable (Nexus.exe), for example:
C:\Program Files\Vicon\Nexus2.14
- Launch Nexus.
- Repeat Step 2 for any other instances of Nexus.
This solution mitigates any issues that are due to the graphics processor which you may experience while you’re running Nexus, however, performance, such as redraw and general navigation, may be adversely affected. This solution has been tested on a limited number of Intel graphics cards for Windows 10.

OpenGL
Nexus is tested and fully supported with NVIDIA graphics processors. This is the Vicon-recommended graphics processor for PCs that are to run your Vicon system and Nexus software.
Using other graphics processors is not recommended and may affect the performance of the software.
If you experience issues with the software and you have been informed by Vicon Support that this is due to the graphics processor, note these points:
- Issues can occur when you first start the software, or may be due to a driver or Windows update.
- If you previously had a working configuration, consider rolling back the driver version or restoring Windows to a working restore point.
- Some laptops have both a dedicated graphics processor and an integrated processor. You can select the processor for use by an application. You can usually find the option for this by right-clicking the application’s shortcut. You can find further general controls in the NVIDIA control panel.
Please be aware that, to improve the performance of capturing and processing within Nexus, all future releases of the application will be 64-bit only. The OpenGL solution for non-NVIDIA graphic processors (described below) is not supported for Nexus 2.13, so if you want to continue to use this solution, use Nexus 2.12.# or earlier. If an NVIDIA processor is not available and you experience a software crash, the following workaround may help. It involves installing an additional file to the Nexus program directory. To do this, you need read/write access to this location and may require the help of an administrator.
Ensure you are using Nexus 2.12.# or earlier, and then complete the following steps:
- Download and unzip the file found in the OpenGL section at the bottom of the Nexus page on the Vicon website.
- Rename the file to opengl32.dll.
- With Nexus closed, place the opengl32.dll file in the folder that contains the Nexus executable (Nexus.exe), for example:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Vicon\Nexus2.10
- Launch Nexus.
- Repeat Step 3 for any other instances of Nexus.
This solution mitigates crashes experienced whilst you’re running Nexus (2.12.# or earlier), however, performance, such as redrawing and general navigation, may be adversely affected. This solution has been tested on a limited number of Intel graphics cards for Windows 10.
