Slimx 13
Slimx 13
High precision, low cost. Active tracking perfected.

Small footprint, lightweight.
The Slimx 13’s 2.7″ square signature, 12 ounce weight and invisible 850nm IR illumination are perfect for applications which require a discreet tracking system.
Intuitive & elegant design
In designing the Slimx series, OptiTrack considered the complete lifetime of a motion capture camera—from unboxing to setup, capture, and teardown. Each process is elegantly accommodated with a nod to simplicity and usability.
“Fast glass” lens
OptiTrack custom designs their own super low distortion, “fast glass” lenses for optimal marker tracking. The Slimx 13’s lenses feature a wide-band anti-reflective coating for greater light transmission, larger volumes, and more precision 3D data.
Filter Options: Alternate between IR and visible spectrum imaging with our software selectable Filter Switcher technology, or select a band-pass filter to eliminate interference from other light sources even more thoroughly.
On-camera status indicator
Slimx 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.
High frame-rate capture
The Slimx 13’s 240 FPS native capture rate and image stopping global shutter is ideal for measurement tasks of people and objects moving at speeds up to 125mph.
240 FPS
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.
Easy set-up
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.
Slimx is Feature Packed
Full Resolution Grayscale Reference Video
All Slimx 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 Slimx 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.
- 3D accuracy referenced is typical for a 30’×30′ (9m×9m) tracking area. Range is estimated using a 14 mm marker with cameras at an exposure of 800, gain of 6, and the lowest f-stop. ↩︎
- Frame Rate / Resolution / FOV (standard 5.5mm lens)
240 fps / 1280×1024 / 56°×45°
360 fps / 1040×832 / 49°×40°
500 fps / 880×704 / 42°×34°
1000 fps / 624×496 / 30°×24° ↩︎
