OptiTrack - 'Flex 13'
A medium volume motion capture camera with excellent precisionIntroducing the OptiTrack Flex 13, a groundbreaking motion capture solution that offers medium volume capability and exceptional precision. With a resolution of 1.3 million pixels and a 56° field of view, it's perfect for both AAA and indie studios. The Flex 13 outperforms its predecessor, the Flex 3, delivering over four times the resolution and achieving motion tracking accuracy within 0.5 mm, perfect for multi-actor and complex motion dynamics. Its large active capture area and efficient lens arrangement allow for extensive tracking in compact spaces. The Flex 13 also features advanced on-camera processing, providing tailored image types to optimize your capture environment.
Enjoy unique features like near-invisible infrared illumination, interchangeable M12 lenses, and an innovative Aim Assist for easy camera alignment. Whether for animation or real-time performance capture, the OptiTrack Flex 13 equips you with the tools needed for precise and clear motion capture.

Big Results With A Small Price
for AAA and indie studios alikeThe Flex 13's 1.3 MP imager offers over 4x the resolution of a Flex 3. When combined with OptiTrack's proprietary real-time processing algorithms, it can track motions within a tolerance of less than 0.5 mm—ideal for rigorous tracking applications, such as multi-actor capture and complex motion tracking.
With an impressive 1.3 million pixels of resolution, 120 FPS sample rate, and an immense 56° field of view, the Flex 13 is an achievement in efficient, affordable motion capture. Enjoy the precision and accuracy of a professional capture system at a price tuned for AAA and indie studios alike.
Maximize Your Capture Volume
extensive capture volumesYou asked for more capture volume, and we were listening. When deployed with the default 56° lens in a standard 20’ × 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.
Maximize Your Capture Volume
pre-processed image typesThe Flex 13 can send a variety of pre-processed image types to the PC, resulting in more efficient imaging and system scaling. Image processing types include:
ObjectPerforms on-camera detection of marker location, size, and roundness using our most precise grayscale processing methods. Provides excellent precision with the smallest CPU footprint.
PrecisionSimilar to Object processing, but sends selective grayscale images of markers to the PC for calculation of object data. Provides the most verbose marker information, but requires more CPU resources than Object processing.
MJPEG-Compressed GrayscaleFull resolution grayscale frames, compressed on-camera for highly scalable scene video capabilities.
Raw GrayscaleFull resolution, uncompressed grayscale.
MJPEG Compression
image preview with multiple cameras, simultaneouslyUnique to OptiTrack cameras, on-camera MJPEG compression consumes 1/10th the bandwidth of uncompressed video while still enabling real-time grayscale video at full resolution and full frame rate (up to 1280 × 1024 @ 120 FPS). 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.
Additional Features
Full resolution grayscale reference videoAll Flex 13 cameras can be used as a reference video source - with synchronized, calibrated 3D overlay. Deliver and/or record full resolution, full frame rate video with 3D overlay of markers, rigid bodies, skeletons, etc.
It's more than just camerasIn addition to the essentials to which you've grown accustomed, you'll also discover several new software features that will make you wonder how you ever got along without them. Enjoy innovations like our Continuous Calibration, where a wand wave is required on first installation only, then calibrates automatically just by using the system. No longer does the calibration degrade over time, temperature change, or after cameras are bumped
Aim Assistsingle user camera setup & aiming One person can efficiently setup and aim a complete Flex 13 system with OptiTrack's on-camera Aim Assist. One button press brings the camera view to full screen, sets the image to grayscale, retracts the IR filter and increases the exposure for additional lighting and better image clarity. The image is perfect so that placing reference markers on the capture volume floor is no longer necessary. Aim each camera conveniently and precisely without even needing to touch the software interface. Once a camera has been aimed, move on to the next with a single button push.
Interchangeable M12 lensesThe Flex 13 can be optimized for a variety of applications with custom-designed, interchangeable M12 lenses. Choose between 5.5mm and 8mm EFL lenses to adapt your cameras to your ideal capture volume. Both feature a special spring focus assist, very low distortion, and fast F#1.8 apertures for increased tracking distance. Typical applications utilize 5.5mm lenses for standard tracking applications and 8mm lenses when additional range or pixel density is required.
Unobtrusive infrared lightFlex 13 cameras emit 850nm IR light, which is nearly invisible, for inconspicuous illumination that prevents the vision fatigue and unwanted attention to your capture rig caused by cameras that emit visible spectrum light.
OEM & computer vision IntegrationIncorporate Flex 13 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.
