## Introduction

The Mk2 server is the processing unit of the system, it runs the Ncam Reality tracking software and is designed in a fashion to allow it to be mounted either remote to the camera (with the use of a Connection box), or placed directly on the camera body itself.

There are two generations of Mk2 server, the primary difference between the two is the redesign of the case lid to allow for passive cooling of the server
