The camera placements must address two opposing factors: one, that the cameras should be far apart, to produce a large parallax disparity with good depth
perception, and that the cameras should be close together, so that they can simultaneously observe as many trackers as possible.
You’ll probably need to experiment with placement to gain experience, keeping in mind the performance to be delivered.
Cameras do not have to be placed in any special pattern. If the performance warrants it, you might want coverage from up above, or down below.
If any cameras will move during the performance, they will need a visible set of stationary tracking markers, to recover their trajectory in the usual fashion. This will reduce accuracy compared to a carefully calibrated stationary camera.
