Small footprint, lightweight.
The Primex 13’s 2.7″ square signature, 12 ounce weight and invisible 850nm IR illumination are perfect for applications which require a discreet tracking system.
High Frame-Rate Capture
High frame-rate capture. The Primex 13’s 240 FPS capture rate and image stopping global shutter can be used when your application requires Prime Series precision for movement speeds above 125mph.
Tracks Passive and Active Markers
With positional errors less than +/-0.15mm and rotational errors less than 0.5 degrees. For some tracking applications, customers find benefit in using a combination of active and passive markers.
“Fast Glass” M12 Lens
We custom design our own super low distortion, “fast glass” lenses for optimal marker tracking. The Primex 13’s F#1.6 lens is treated with a wide band anti-reflective coating, which dramatically increases light transmission to the imager, yielding larger volumes and more precise 3D data.
Filter Options. Switch between IR and visible spectrum imaging with our software selectable Filter Switcher, or select a band-pass filter to more thoroughly eliminate interference from other light sources.
On-Camera Status Indicator
Primex cameras can keep users informed with definable color LED indicator rings surrounding the lens. Recording a performance? Everyone on set knows the system is recording. Select a camera? It instantly changes color. Have your own idea? Simple software controls help you make it so.
Powerful On-Board Image Processing
All OptiTrack cameras feature integrated image processing. The algorithms which identify markers and marker centers, and the sequence of data delivery are important steps to achieve both world leading accuracy and low latency.
Industry-Leading Precision
Our 3D precision is the best in the business, outperforming even the highest-resolution competition—which is why Activision selected OptiTrack to build the largest and most accurate performance capture stage in existence.
Primex is Feature Packed
All Primex cameras can be used as a reference video source - with synchronized, calibrated overlay. Deliver and/or record full resolution, full frame rate video with 3D overlay of markers, rigid bodies, skeletons, etc.
Mix and Match Cameras
OptiTrack cameras work together seamlessly to build the perfect motion capture system for any use case.
Zero Drift. Pure Precision.
Motive calibrates automatically and continuously with data collected during normal use of the system. No longer does your calibration degrade over time with changing temperatures or challenging building movement—it is always a “fresh” calibration.
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.
