Discover the OptiTrack PrimeX 13, a state-of-the-art motion capture camera delivering exceptional resolution, high frame rates, and unparalleled precision for professional animation, virtual reality, and advanced research applications.
The PrimeX 13 is packed with features designed to empower users with high-fidelity motion data. Here’s a closer look at what makes this camera stand out:
Continuous Calibration automatically keeps the system accurate over time. Flexible hardware synchronisation with external devices boosts its versatility.
Software-selectable filters allow easy switching between IR and visible light imaging. On-board processing swiftly identifies markers, simplifying capture.
Its small, light build and unseen 850nm IR lighting make it perfect for discreet applications. It precisely tracks both passive and active markers with minimal error.
A customisable colour LED clearly shows system status. It supports synced, calibrated 3D overlays on reference video. A full SDK aids developers and OEMs with integration.
The custom “fast glass” M12 lens reduces distortion and boosts light intake, yielding more precise and extensive 3D data.
With 1.3 MP resolution, the PrimeX 13 delivers remarkable 3D accuracy to within +/- 0.20 mm. It captures motion at 240 FPS as standard, ramping up to 1000 FPS for high-speed events, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Discover the PrimeX 13, OptiTrack’s cutting-edge motion capture camera designed for professionals who demand exceptional precision and performance. Engineered for high-fidelity tracking in medium-sized environments, the PrimeX 13 delivers the speed, accuracy, and versatility needed for the most challenging applications, from intricate biomechanics research to immersive virtual reality experiences.
Pair with OptiTrack’s powerful Motive software. Featuring intuitive tools like Trained Markersets, Continuous Calibration, and an advanced Skeletal Solver, Motive streamlines your workflow from initial setup to final data analysis.
For custom integrations and OEM applications, OptiTrack provides a free Camera SDK and NatNet SDK. This C/C++ interface offers extensive control, including access to raw camera frames, image processing modes, 2D object data, camera synchronization, and all 3D data.
Create the optimal modular mocap system. The PrimeX 13 can be seamlessly combined with other PrimeX or Prime Color cameras, allowing for custom configurations tailored to your specific tracking volume and accuracy requirements.
Achieve professional-grade synchronization with the eSync 2 hub. It supports Genlock sync, Timecode synchronization, and external sync in/out, ensuring your PrimeX 13 cameras integrate flawlessly into complex production pipelines.
What are the main uses for the OptiTrack PrimeX 13?
The PrimeX 13 is a high-precision motion capture camera ideal for a variety of professional applications. It’s particularly effective in medium-sized capture areas where high accuracy and speed are essential. You’ll find it used in fields like animation and visual effects (VFX), biomechanics research, the development of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems, robotics, and engineering analysis.
What sets the PrimeX 13 apart from other motion capture cameras?
The PrimeX 13 distinguishes itself with its excellent accuracy (typically around +/- 0.20 mm), a high native frame rate of 240 frames per second (which can go up to 1000 FPS), and quality components like its “fast glass” M12 lens for superior data. It also features discreet tracking thanks to its invisible 850nm infrared illumination, incorporates on-board image processing, and includes user-friendly elements such as a software-selectable filter switcher and the benefits of continuous calibration.
Is the PrimeX 13 good for tracking very fast movements?
Yes, it’s very well suited for that. Its native 240 FPS capture rate, capability to reach up to 1000 FPS, and its global shutter mean it can record quick and intricate movements with minimal blur and excellent detail.
What are the Field of View (FOV) options for the PrimeX 22?
Indeed. The PrimeX 13 is designed to accurately track both active (self-illuminating) and passive (reflective) markers, giving you flexibility based on your project’s specific needs and the capture environment.
What are the best lighting conditions for using the PrimeX 13?
The PrimeX 13 operates using 850nm infrared illumination. Although it’s built to perform reliably in diverse conditions, you’ll consequently achieve the best results by minimising other strong sources of infrared light within the capture area. Furthermore, the camera’s software-selectable filter switcher also provides adaptability, thereby allowing you to choose between IR and visible spectrum imaging to suit different lighting scenarios.
How difficult is it to set up and calibrate a system with PrimeX 13 cameras?
OptiTrack systems, including those using PrimeX 13 cameras, are generally designed for a reasonably straightforward setup. Features like aim assist, easily accessible lens controls, and OptiTrack’s Motive software (which includes Continuous Calibration) help to simplify the setup and calibration. While the initial setup does require careful attention, the system is engineered to maintain its calibration over time.
What software works with the PrimeX 13?
The PrimeX 13 is primarily intended for use with OptiTrack’s own Motive software suite (including Motive:Body, Motive:Tracker, and Motive:Edit). For those looking to develop custom applications or integrate the cameras into OEM systems, OptiTrack also offers a Camera SDK and the NatNet SDK.
Can I use the PrimeX 13 for motion capture outdoors?
While the PrimeX 13 can be used in controlled outdoor settings, direct sunlight can introduce a lot of infrared noise, which might affect performance. OptiTrack does offer other solutions specifically designed for outdoor use. For any outdoor applications, it’s a good idea to discuss your specific needs with an OptiTrack specialist or a local distributor like Tracklab here in Australia.
What’s the typical tracking range of a PrimeX 13 camera?
For passive markers, the PrimeX 13 generally has a range of up to 16 metres (or 55 feet). With active markers, this range can extend to about 25 metres (or 85 feet). Keep in mind that the actual effective range can be influenced by factors like marker size, the surrounding environment, and camera settings.
Where can I find more information or buy the PrimeX 13 in Australia?
If you’re in Australia and need more detailed information, want to see a demonstration, or are looking to purchase the PrimeX 13, you can get in touch with Freedspace/Tracklab.
