| FEATURE |
DESCRIPTION |
BENEFIT |
ADVANTAGE |
| Multi-performer
real-time engine |
Track
as many as 5 performers at once
for real time animation of fully
rendered characters and props. |
Real-time
feedback for pre-visualization,
multiple character interaction
and improved performances.
Directors and performers
get instant feedback to perfect
performances on the fly. |
Only MoCap
system in world to capture
3, 4, and even 5 performers
in real-time.
Realistic interaction of characters.
Most affordable MoCap system
for multiple character capture. |
| |
| Environmental
Analyzer
for optimal installation and
performance |
New tool helps
you find best location in workspace
to install MotionStar 2 and
minimize metal and noise interference. |
Analyzer
lets you see ferrous metal
in floor, walls, and ceiling
and find optimal locaiton
for MotionStar Wireless 2.
Analyzer's noise
sensing function lets you
adjust tracker measurement
rate to minimize 50/60 Hz
noise.
Use of the Analyzer
with preinstallation instructions
enables animators to find
optimal locations for MoCap
session. |
The benefits
of magnetic tracking are no
longer a the mercy of an animator's
environment. |
|
| Advanced
DC tracking technology |
New backpack electronics and
improved algorithms. |
Dynamic
accuracy significantly improved.
Better vertical motion accuracy
as sensors on performers move
towards and away from the
system's magnetic field.
No data jumps when a sensor
is rotated about its axis. |
Spend
less time cleaning data in
post and more time animating
characters.
Higher accuracy reduces filtering
of data files.
Fast, accurate capture of
true motions. |
| |
| Six degrees-of-freedom
tracking |
Each sensor delivers
a full six degrees-of-freedom
(X, Y, Z, Yaw, Pitch, Roll)
solution. In a 13-sensor system
this equates to 78 dedicated
data points per second instantly
streaming onto the performer's
character. |
Highest data
count per sensor/marker yields
fully articulated and smooth
tracking. |
Catch every nuance
of the performance for most
realistic motion capture session. |
| |
| Non-occlusion
magnetic technology |
Magnetic fields
go right through all non-metallic
objects without loss of signal
or accuracy. |
Sensors outputs
are never blocked; signals
are never lost.
No occlusions -- ever.
No data gaps that must be
later filled in. |
Spend less
time cleaning data in post
and more time animating.
Set up shots and scenes without
worrying about the closeness
of performer interaction. |
| |
| Solid
state electronics |
No moving
parts.
No cameras and tripods to
align and calibrate.
No recurring maintenance.
|
Less time and
cost associated with maintaining,
calibrating and operating systems.
|
Less down
time; more MoCap time.
Purchase price is your real
cost over time. |
| |
| Versatile
mocap data pipeline component |
System sets up
in less than an hour and can
be used outdoors. Components
are easily transportable. |
Portable, flexible,
durable and easy to use. |
Count on it for
producing quick, easy and high-quality
mocap data. |
| |
| Low cost |
Single performer
systems starting below $60,000. |
Best price-performance
ratio. |
Affordable, high
quality motion capture data. |

| Distortion and
Noise Interference: |
Ferrous metal
in floors, walls and ceilings
as well as noise sources in
the motion-capture area can
adversely affect measurements.
To avoid problems, be sure
to do the following:
- You can purchase
an Environmental Analyzer
to sweep your capture area
before installing the system.
It will show you where to
install the system to minimize
metal effects and the best
measurement rate to avoid
60/50Hz noise sources that
can cause jitter.
- Read also
in your user manual how
to adjust frequencies if
the RF signal from your
performers backpack is picking
up interfering noise from
a nearby source of electromagnetic
emissions broadcasting in
the 2.45 GHz bandwidth.
