Maximum Accuracy. Longest Range. Highest Resolution. When your application requires our class-leading 3D motion measurement precision in a very large volume nothing compares with the accuracy and durability of the Primex 260.
Flagship Accuracy. Maximum Range. 26 Megapixel Detail. The new Primex 260 delivers 50-micron 3D accuracy—our tightest spec ever—paired with our highest resolution sensor and OptiTrack’s industry-leading range. Track smaller markers farther away and capture more usable data across massive volumes—without compromise.
Long Range Performance. Primex 260 is engineered for extreme camera-to-marker range—enabling huge tracking volumes for training and simulation, robotics, and large stages. At long distances, its 26 MP imager delivers higher pixel density on every marker, improving stability when tracking smaller objects or dense multi-marker constellations across the far edges of your capture space.
Primex 260, our highest-resolution camera, puts more pixels on every marker—so you can track smaller markers, packed closer together, from farther away.
Primex equals precision. Primex cameras are designed and manufactured in-house at OptiTrack’s headquarters in Oregon to ensure our exacting quality standards are met. We design lenses with low-distortion and true 10-bit grayscale depth sensor processing which reduces noise and improves precision—resulting in perfectly crisp images, better centroids and better 3D accuracy.
“Fast glass” lens. We custom design our own super low distortion, “fast glass” lenses for optimal marker tracking. The Primex 260’s standard 11.8mm 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.
Choose the wider-view option. The standard Primex 260 offers a broad 57° x 57° Field of View (FOV). For wider volumes that demand elite accuracy, the Primex 260W is available with a 74° x 74° 8.9mm wide-view lens. The additional FOV lets users deploy fewer cameras to capture movement in wider areas.
Tracks Passive and Active Markers with positional errors less than +/-0.05 mm and rotational errors less than 0.1 degrees.
Passive markers - or retroreflective markers, including spheres, hemispheres, and even flat reflective discs, are easy for PrimeX cameras to identify and track.
Active markers invisible infrared LEDs send unique pulses for error free marker IDs with low latency data delivery and 10ms acquisition time.
Active markers are the benchmark for low latency Virtual or Mixed Reality tracking, ground truth systems for Augmented Reality, and high subject count robotics applications such as drone swarms.
Mix and match cameras. Systems can pair Primex 260 cameras with any other Primex or Prime Color cameras to create the optimal infrared configuration for any use case and deliver the highest 3D tracking accuracy to any environment.
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.
New, higher output strobe. Ultra high power LEDs provide improved range for any given shutter setting. The world's longest range motion capture camera just got even better.
Full resolution grayscale reference video. All Primex cameras can be used as a reference video source - with synchronized, calibrated 3D overlay. Deliver and/or record full resolution, full frame rate video with 3D overlay of markers, rigid bodies, skeletons, etc.
External sync in/out, Genlock, and Time Code. Synchronize any Prime and Primex cameras to any signal or source with the eSync 2 with all the functionality and flexibility you’d expect with a professional tracking system. Cameras sync to dozens of sources including a professional cameras’ Genlock signal, where record and other event triggering can be managed from general purpose inputs and software commands.
Use the sync output signal as a master or to trigger force plates, EMGs and National Instrument DAQs for flexible yet precise hardware synchronization. Highly accurate frame timing can also be achieved with SMTPE Time Code for ease in editing and logging. OptiTrack’s free and open SDK allows for further customization within the timing protocols.
Expert system configuration for any space.
OptiTrack has built over 30,000 tracking systems in areas of all shapes and sizes. Our experts can help guide you on the most economical and suitable tracking system for your needs—for today and the future.

It's more than just cameras. Primex cameras work hand-in-hand with OptiTrack’s Motive 3D motion capture software featuring Trained Markersets, Continuous Calibration, Skeletal Solver and more. The Primex cameras and Motive enable users to see and analyze tracking data to inform everything from robotics and movement sciences to video game animation, cinematic virtual production and location-based virtual reality.
OEM & computer vision Integration. Incorporate Primex 260 cameras into OEM tracking or computer vision applications via the free SDK, a C/C++ interface for control of and access to raw camera frames, image processing modes, camera settings, 2D object data, camera synchronization and all 3D data.
