Primex 260
Primex 260
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.
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.
Micron-level 3D Accuracy
An 8-camera PrimeX 260 system exhibited a mean displacement error of 0.037mm (± .025mm) across nine 100mm translation trials.
“Fast Glass” Lens Engineering
OptiTracks engineering team custom designs ultra–low distortion “fast glass” lenses for optimal tracking. The Primex260’s lenses feature a wide-band anti-reflective coating for greater light transmission, larger volumes, and more precision 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.
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.
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.
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.
Easy Set-Up
Aim assist and easily accessed lens controls make the Primexcameras fast and easy to set up.
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.
Primex is Feature Packed
Full Resolution Grayscale Reference Video
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.
OEM & Computer Vision Integration
Incorporate Primex 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.
Full Resolution Grayscale Reference Video
With the eSync 2, cameras sync to nearly any source, including Genlock and SMPTE Time Code, for precise, flexible hardware synchronization. Trigger force plates, EMGs, and DAQs, or manage events through inputs and software commands, with full customization available via OptiTrack’s free, open SDK.
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.
