Choosing an inference mode

The INFERENCE BACKEND panel in the middle decides which Tensor Dynamics engine sees the frames. You have two options:

Option A — Tensor Cloud (easiest)

  • Uses the Tensor Dynamics managed API. No GPU, no server required.
  • Click "Tensor Cloud", paste your API key into the input box.
  • Downsides: frames leave your network, internet required, usage costs may apply.

Option B — Tensor Engine (on-device or remote)

  • Runs Tensor Dynamics Vision on your hardware. Footage stays on-prem.
  • Needs a compatible GPU (on-device) or a remote GPU box.
Once selected, press Test Connection. Green OK = connected. Red FAILED = recheck URL / key.

Fastest path: Tensor Cloud → paste API key → Test → green OK → done.
