OptiHub Features

Unleash OptiTrack's full potential with the OptiHub, NaturalPoint's premium, purpose-built USB hub.

On-board Voltage Regulation

On-board voltage regulation provides consistent power to USB ports for stable distribution to cameras, unlike COTS hubs with variable voltage based on the power load to the hub. Reliable and stable power to every camera maximizes IR strobe brightness, resulting in more consistent tracking and fewer dropped markers.

Shutter Glasses Support

Both NuVision and RealD shutter glasses are now supported for integration into OptiTrack environments. External syncing allows for the staggering of the camera strobe and shutter glasses sequencing, reducing interference between the two.

External Sync In/Out

Integrate OptiTrack into large scale tracking and analytical ecosystems with external sync in and out. Utilize either frame triggers or triggers to free run to synchronize frame cycling with external software controls and hardware components like force plates and shutter glasses.

Hub to Hub Syncing

All OptiHubs in the same chain are synced, enabling automatic propagation of camera sequencing. All cameras and hubs connected through OptiSync are completely aware of their position in relation to each other, enabling automatic camera numbering based on port location.

Removable Mounting Brackets

The OptiHub's mounting brackets equip it for secure, low profile integration into mocap rigs.

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.

Camera Setups Supporting OptiSync

High Power Mode

High Power Mode is the V100R2's secondary power mode, 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 allows smaller markers to be used.

USB Uplink with Status LED

Meaningful status LEDs enable monitoring of each ports activity, including whether the port is operating in high speed or full speed mode.
