OptiTrack announces Flex 13 camera - 1.3 MP Mocap for Under $1k

Introducing the world's first megapixel motion capture camera for under $1k, the Flex 13. Boasting an impressive 1.3 million pixels of resolution, a 120 FPS sample rate, and an immense 56° field of view, the Flex 13 is an evolution of efficient motion capture technology.The combination of an expansive field of view and 1.3 MP sensor resolution enables the Flex 13 to track complex, multiple-actor scenes with an exceptional volume-to-setup ratio. When deployed with the stock 56° lens in a standard 20' x 20' arrangement, the camera can attain an active capture area that is among the largest in the industry, which allows for extensive capture volumes even in modest tracking environments.

"Mocap technicians asked for larger volumes, and we've built the perfect camera in response," says OptiTrack President Jim Richardson. "The Flex 13 addresses this need with the added benefit of a simpler setup and calibration process-and at 1.3 megapixels, it offers the cleanest data that $1k can buy."OptiTrack has long been a favorite for price-sensitive developers and previs studios. The Flex 13 marks a continuation of the technology's expansion into more rigorous production ecosystems.Reversing camera law gives 'false sense of security'.

"This new camera is actually a reflection of our roots," continues Richardson. "We turned the market on its head five years ago with a bold message-motion capture can and should be affordable. Then we made sure that it was. The Flex 13 is the next step in the democratization process-affordable mocap tuned for demanding capture applications."The OptiTrack product line includes motion capture software and high-speed tracking cameras, as well as contract engineering services.
