OptiHub 2
Seamlessly sync every camera, signal, and sensor with unmatched precision and control.
Precision Sync for Any System
The OptiHub 2 is a premium, custom-engineered USB hub—essential for maximizing the capability of any USB-based OptiTrack system. It offers higher and more consistent power delivery to cameras for enhanced tracking range, simpler camera setup and cabling, and support for synchronization to external devices like shutter glasses and force plates.
Genlock sync in
Genlock your OptiTrack Ethernet cameras to an external video source via SD Black Burst or HD Tri-Level analog input. All modern SD and HD sync inputs are accepted for easy integration in professional studio environments. Genlock is ideal for syncing mocap data to live action media, including on-set capture, camera tracking, reference video, and head-mounted face mocap cameras.
Plug-n-play Shutter glasses support
Generic 3D shutter glasses support is provided by offsetting the camera's IR Strobe. Connect video cards that support a stereo output signal to the Sync In, and a shutter glasses signal generator to the Sync Out. Use the adjustable software offset to avoid interference between the mocap camera strobes and the shutter glasses.
External sync in/out
Integrate OptiTrack into large scale tracking and analytical ecosystems with external sync in and out. Utilize frame triggers or free-run triggering to synchronize frame cycling with external software controls and hardware components like force plates and shutter glasses.
Hub-to-hub syncing
OptiHubs in the same chain automatically propagate sync data to all connected cameras. OptiSync provides connection topology data for cameras and hubs in relation to each other, enabling automatic camera numbering based on port location.
Sync signal over USB
With OptiSync, NaturalPoint's custom synchronization system, sync signals are sent and received over the USB cable. As a result, cabling is reduced by 50%, which enables simpler setup and cleaner rigs.
High power mode
High Power Mode is available for the Flex 13 and the Flex 3, which are specifically designed for use with the OptiHub. It allows cameras to draw additional power for the strobe, which increases effective capture range, allows for wider FOV lenses and smaller markers to be used.
USB uplink with status LEDs
Meaningful status LEDs enable monitoring of each port's activity, including whether the port is operating in high speed or full speed mode.
Motive is behind every seamless workflow
OptiTrack’s Motive software delivers speed, precision, and ease of use, streamlining everything from calibration to real-time streaming, while tools like Aim Assist and auto-masking make even large system setups simple for one person.
