V100:R2 from $599

Fast, precise, and efficient tracking

The V100:R2 is capable of capturing fast moving objects with its global shutter imager and 100 FPS capture speed. By maximizing its 640 × 480 VGA resolution through advanced image processing algorithms, the V100:R2 can also track markers down to sub-millimeter movements with repeatable accuracy.

On-camera image processing

The V100:R2 can send a variety of pre-processed image types to your PC, resulting in decreased bandwidth and CPU load, and more efficient motion tracking. Image processing types include:

• Precision grayscale - Most precise marker detection. The V100:R2's default processing type. Sends grayscale marker information to the PC for calculation of object location, size, and roundness using our most precise processing methods. Provides greater accuracy than other modes, but consumes more CPU resources and USB bandwidth.
• Segment - Balanced marker detection. Similar to Precision Grayscale, Segment processing streamlines marker information for more CPU-efficient marker detection. Provides a balance between precision and USB bandwidth use.
• Object - The most CPU-efficient marker detection. Provides more efficient USB bandwidth utilization, but delivers less marker information to the PC than other modes.
• MJPEG-compressed grayscale - Full resolution grayscale frames, compressed on-camera for highly scalable scene video capabilities.
• Raw grayscale - Full resolution, uncompressed grayscale.

Camera control

Access a variety of V100:R2 settings with any of OptiTrack’s software applications, such as the Camera SDK, for greater control over what your cameras capture and what information they report to the PC. Available settings include:

• Image processing type
• Frame rate
• Exposure
• Threshold
• Illumination
• Filter switching
• Status LED control
• And more...

MJPEG compression

New in the V100:R2, MJPEG compression consumes 1/10th the bandwidth of uncompressed video while still enabling real-time grayscale video at full frame rate and full resolution (up to 100 FPS and 640 × 480 with V100 cameras). Compact, high-quality grayscale video enables image preview with multiple cameras, simultaneously–an indispensable tool for camera aiming and focusing during rig setup and calibration.

Grayscale video access

Access raw and MJPEG-compressed grayscale video to transform any V100:R2 into a high-speed scene camera. Simplify camera aiming and calibration, optimize skeleton configuration, provide live capture feedback, and improve post-capture cleanup with a variety of grayscale video options.

Calibrated scene video

Because V100:R2 cameras can operate in grayscale mode, any of the cameras in your volume can be transformed back into a scene camera after calibration, enabling scene video that has exact position and orientation relative to the tracking volume.

Improved skeleton definition

Once scene cameras are calibrated within the volume, you can visually preview potential flaws for a higher level of accuracy. Simply compare the calibrated scene video with overlaid points to confirm that the skeleton aligns with the actor’s body segments and corresponding markers.

Real-time tracking feedback

Monitor the relationship between the actor and skeleton to confirm accurate tracking or to quickly diagnose unexpected behavior. Grayscale scene video is particularly useful during facial motion capture, offering high quality previs for feedback and presentation.

3D overlay

Record MJPEG grayscale footage at up to 100 frames per second—4x faster than normal film playback speed. High-speed recording enables the correlation of scene video and tracking data on a frame-by-frame basis for precise analysis or cleanup in post.

Filter Switcher technology

Toggle your camera between capturing infrared or visible light with a single mouse-click. Swap your V100:R2’s 800nm pass filter out on the fly to access visible spectrum grayscale video for enhanced image quality whenever reference video is required.

Compact design for low profile integration

V100:R2 cameras can be discreetly integrated into large installations, or allow you to spatially optimize desktop capture volumes for face mocap and tracking rigid bodies. Choose red camera cases for higher visibility, or black for subtlety.

Unobtrusive infrared light

V100:R2 cameras emit 850nm IR light, which is nearly invisible, for inconspicuous and gentle lighting, thereby avoiding vision fatigue and unwanted attention to your capture rig caused by cameras that emit bright, visible spectrum light.

High power strobe mode

When used with an OptiHub, OptiTracks's custom high speed USB hub, V100:R2 cameras can operate in high power mode to draw additional power for the IR strobe. The extra power increases capture range and reduces marker dropout. The V100:R2's standard power mode is USB power compliant for use with off the shelf hubs and direct connections to a PC.

V100 compatibility

The V100:R2 includes backwards compatibility with existing V100 camera installations in traditional Wired Sync mode. OptiSync is only available for R2 cameras connected to OptiHubs.

OEM integration

Incorporate V100:R2 cameras into OEM tracking or computer vision applications via the free Camera SDK.
