Hi, the orientation & rotation data type are the same there are just some naming inconsistencies that have crept in during translation. As you mention an orientation is just a rotation from some reference frame. Internally they are both represented by a quaternion. When you pass one into the splitter they are converted into an axis-angle representation. The conversion from quaternion to axis-angle is deteministic but small changes in orientation can cause large changes in the choice of axis to rotate around which might explain the differences you're seeing in the X,Y,Z outputs.
hope that helps
thanks
