OptiTrack - 'Motive:Tracker'
Perpetual licence with one year of updates
Synchronization & Time Code for your motion Capture DataMotive software works in conjunction with OptiTrack cameras to track and capture the motion of small retroreflective markers attached to people and objects, delivering real-time motion data with industry-leading accuracy. Motive features a simple setup, supports larger volumes, and produces clean data. This tracking data is utilized in various fields, including robotics, movement sciences, video game animation, cinematic virtual production, and location-based virtual reality.

New Duplex Mode Feature
Duplex ModeAdds the ability to capture both object mode and MJPEG mode from the same camera at the same time. This allows cameras to be used for both tracking and reference video, unlocking post production markerless workflows.
Trained Markersets
Leveraging Advancements in machine learningMotive now enables you to track and label anything you can imagine, in real time, to quickly recognize and follow tracked objects such as animals, jump ropes, faces, floor mats and much more.
Camera Compatibility
OptiTRack Motion Capture CamerasMotive is compatible with all OptiTrack motion capture camera from the precision Primex series and sleek Slim series to the low-cost Flex series and desktop tracking Trio 3 and Duo 3. The software maximizes each camera’s capabilities and features to deliver the best possible motion data.
Continuous Calibration
Automatically repair and correctMotive’s continuous calibration can automatically repair or correct against the harshest of tracking environment with features such as Anchor Markers, Camera Partitions, and Bumped Camera corrections. Instead of happening completely behind the scenes Motive signals any calibration issues with a variety of colors and alerts, making users aware of what’s happening.
Pre-Defined Settings for Prime Color Cameras
Small Size - Lower RateThe smallest video size you can have. 1/4 of the frame rate of the tracking cameras.
Small Size - Full RateThe smallest video size you can have while still running at the same rate as the tracking cameras.
Great ImageFocuses on the iamge quality, the data rate is rather high relative to the other modes.
Calibration ModeSwitches Filter Switcher cameras into object mode and gets them ready for calibration.
Enhanced Sensor Fusion
Remarkably Smooth DataMotive’s sensor fusion process combines marker and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) tracking, using the best attributes of both methods to provide remarkably smooth data. It also is robust against difficult tracking solutions as it supports full 6 Degrees of Freedom tracking with only a single marker data. Sensor fusion is ideal for applications that require the smoothest or robust camera tracking such as In-Camera Virtual Effects (ICVFX) or Virtual Reality (VR).
Skeletal Solver
Skeletal SolverVastly improved skeletal tracking precision. Robust, accurate bone tracking - even during heavy occlusion of markers.3
What's a Solver?
“Solver” in human motion tracking terms refers to the programmatic process of estimating the pose (6 DoF) of each bone, deduced by the actual measured markers, at each frame of measurement.
A precision solver, like that developed for Motive 3.0, accurately defines the skeleton movement of the tracked subject(s) which yields higher confidence and more nuanced performance capture for character animation.
A robust solver will also perform precision marker labeling and skeletal tracking even when many markers are hidden from cameras or lost, providing more reliable tracking data and vastly reduced editing time across all applications.
Active & Passive Motion Tracking
ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TRACKING
Motive processes OptiTrack camera data to deliver global 3D positions, marker IDs, rotational data (with respect to the object’s local reference), and of course, hyper accurate skeletal tracking.
Passive markers - or retroreflective markers, including spheres, hemispheres, and even flat reflective discs, are easily tracked with OptiTrack’s precision, long range cameras.
Signature Pulse Active invisible IR LEDs, enable 100% error free marker ID’s, low latency data delivery and < 0.1s acquisition time. It’s become the benchmark for low latency VR tracking, ground truth systems for AR, and high subject count robotics applications such as drone swarms.

Easy Operation
Setup and Operation is EasyMotive makes system setup easy. Aim Assist, auto-masking, one-click rigid body creation, versatile hardware and the industry's longest range cameras make even large systems easy to set up with just one person.
Plug-and-Play Forceplate Support
Forceplate and EMG integrationNative, plug-and-play support for all major digital force plates (AMTI, Bertec and Kistler), Delsys EMG, and analog devices, providing researchers the tools they need most for real-time display, reporting and analysis.
Flexible Real-Time Streaming Options
Stream your DataMotive gives users the choice between turn-key pipelines, or customized outputs for unique requirements. Stream patient data into Visual3D, InSight and MotionMonitor, stream performance mocap into Unreal, Unity3D, MotionBuilder, or write your own interface with our free NatNet SDK and camera SDK.

Track Everything
Track (way) more stuffWith a single tracking system and a single PC, everything on-set can be tracked including drone swarms, micro-robots, performers, props, head mounted displays, set pieces, live action and virtual cameras, clapperboards, and even the Director’s coffee mug.
Validated Markersets
Library of Predefined MarkersetsMotive:Body offers a library of predefined markersets, including many which are scientifically and clinically validated and used in dozens of peer-reviewed scientific publications. 3D representations are available for each markerset, enabling fast and accurate marker placement on specific anatomical landmarks for each patient or subject.

Pairs Perfectly with the eSync 2
External sync in/out, Genlock, and Time CodeSynchronize Prime and Primex cameras to any signal or source with the eSync 2 with all the functionality and flexibility you’d expect with a professional tracking system. Cameras sync to dozens of sources including a professional cameras’ Genlock signal, where record and other event triggering can be managed from general purpose inputs and software commands.
Use the sync output signal as a master or to trigger force plates, EMGs and National Instrument DAQs for flexible yet precise hardware synchronization. Highly accurate frame timing can also be achieved with SMTPE Time Code for ease in editing and logging. OptiTrack’s free and open SDK allows for further customization within the timing protocols.
Synchronized, Calibrated 3D Overlays
Full resolution grayscale reference videoAll Primex 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. Simply software select the camera(s) which are best for reference capture.
