This page is for the general specifications of the Prime Color camera. For details on how to setup and use the Prime color, please refer to the Prime Color Setup page in this wiki.
The OptiTrack Duo/Trio tracking bars are factory calibrated and there is no need to calibrate the cameras to use the system. By default, the tracking volume is set at the center origin of the cameras and the axis are oriented so that Z-axis is forward, Y-axis is up, X-axis is left.
If you wish to change the location and orientation of the global axis, you can use the ground plane tools from the Calibration pane and use a Rigid Body or a calibration square to set the global origin.
When using the Duo/Trio tracking bars, you can set the coordinate origin at the desired location and orientation using either a Rigid Body or a calibration square as a reference point. Using a calibration square will allow you to set the origin more accurately. You can also use a custom calibration square to set this.
Adjustig the Coordinate System Steps
First set place the calibration square at the desired origin. If you are using a Rigid Body, its pivot point position and orientation will be used as the reference.
[Motive] Open the Calibration pane.
[Motive] Open the Ground Planes page.
[Motive] Select the type of calibration square that will be used as a reference to set the global origin. Set it to Auto if you are using a calibration square from us. If you are using a Rigid Body, select the Rigid Body option from the drop-down menu. If you are using a custom calibration square, you will need to set the vertical offset also.
[Motive] Select the Calibration square markers or the Rigid Body markers from the Perspective View pane
[Motive] Click Set Set Ground Plane button, and the global origin will be adjusted.
Run the installer and follow its prompts.
Each V120:Duo and V120:Trio includes a free license to Motive:Tracker for one device. No software license activation or security key is required.
To use multiple V120 devices, connect each one to a separate host PC with Motive installed.
V120 Duo or Trio device
I/O-X (breakout box)
Power adapter and cord
Camera bar cable (attached to I/O-X)
USB Uplink cable
Mount the camera bar in the designated location.
Connect the Camera Bar Cable to the back of the camera and to the I/O-X device, as shown in the diagram above.
Connect the I/O-X device to the PC using the USB uplink cable.
Connect the power cable to the I/O-X device and plug it into a power source.
Make sure the power is disconnected from the I/O-X (breakout box) before plugging or unplugging the Camera Bar Cable. Hot-plugging this cable may damage the device.
The V120 cameras use a preset frequency for timing and can run at 25 Hz, 50 Hz or 100 Hz. To synchronize other devices with the Duo or Trio, use a BNC cable to connect an input port on the receiving device to the Sync Out port on the I/O-X device.
Output options are set in the Properties pane. Select T-Bar Sync in the Devices pane to change output options:
Exposure Time: Sends a high signal based on when the camera exposes.
Passthrough: Sync In signal is passed through to the output port.
Recording Gate: Low electrical signal (0V) when not recording and a high (3.3V) signal when recording is in progress.
Gated Exposure Time: ends a high signal based on when the camera exposes, only while recording is in progress.
Timing signals from other devices can be attached to the V120 using the I/O-X device's Sync In port and a BNC cable. However, this port does not allow you to change the rate of the device reliably. The only functionality that may work is passing the data through to the output port.
The Sync In port cannot be used to change the camera's frequency reliably.
The V120 ships with a free license for Motive:Tracker installed.
The V120 runs in Precision, Grayscale, and MJPEG modes. Object mode is not available.
LED lights on the back of the V120 indicate the device's status.
Download the Motive 3.1 software installer from the to each host PC.
Please see the section of the page for computer specifications.
The cameras are pre-calibrated and no wanding is required. The user can .
