Synchronize Ethernet cameras to almost any signal or source with the eSync 2. Cameras can be in sync to sources such as a professional video Genlock signal, and can also be triggered to record from general purpose inputs and software commands.
Use the sync output signal or trigger with a DAQ for biomechanical force plate data alignment. Highly accurate frame timing can also be achieved with SMTPE Time Code for ease in editing and logging.
One eSync 2 per motion capture system is all that is needed, and all cameras align within a very precise ~+/-5µs of the input signal. The PoE Ethernet connection allows an eSync 2 to be located almost anywhere in a lab or studio, making it easy to connect with/to source signals.
With convenient output signals that can mirror most inputs, you can place the eSync 2 in the middle of an existing setup, or convert signal types for greater system flexibility.
Automatically measures and reports the frequency of signals connected to its inputs. This enables fast and easy confirmation inputs have the frequency expected.
Genlock sync in
Genlock your OptiTrack Ethernet cameras to an external video source via SD Black Burst or HD Tri-Level analog input. All modern SD and HD sync inputs are accepted for easy integration in professional studio environments. Genlock is ideal for syncing mocap data to live action media, including on-set capture, camera tracking, reference video, and head-mounted face mocap cameras.
Compatible with common Data Aquisition I/O devices
General purpose sync in
Isolated - Used when the sync source is above normal logic 3.3V, or has a different ground reference. Recommended as the default input for general purpose syncing.
High Impedance - Three high-impedance digital inputs are available for sending sync signals from an external device to the eSync 2.
General purpose sync out
Four digital outputs are available for sending sync signals from the eSync 2 to external devices.
SMPTE Time Code
Stamp recorded and streamed motion tracking data with SMPTE Time Code for compositing with other media in post. Time Code support in Motive:Body includes FBX, C3D, and NatNet. Motive:Tracker support includes CSV, NatNet, and VRPN.
Plug-n-play Shutter glasses support
Generic 3D shutter glasses support is provided by offsetting the camera's IR Strobe. Connect video cards that support a stereo output signal to the Sync In, and a shutter glasses signal generator to the Sync Out. Use the adjustable software offset to avoid interference between the mocap camera strobes and the shutter glasses.
VESA input and output connectors are provided for graphics cards and IR emitters that do not have BNC connections.
24-port Gigabit PoE/PoE+ switch for use with Ethernet cameras. Supports up to: 23 PoE cameras (PrimeX13, PrimeX13W, SlimX 13E) or 12 PoE+ cameras (PrimeX41, PrimeX22) per switch.

On-board voltage regulation
On-board voltage regulation provides stable, consistent power distribution to cameras, unlike COTS hubs which varies the voltage based on the power load to the hub. Reliable power to every camera maximizes IR strobe brightness, resulting in more consistent tracking and fewer dropped markers.
Shutter glasses support
Both NuVision and RealD shutter glasses are now supported for integration into OptiTrack environments. External syncing allows the camera strobe and shutter glass sequencing to be staggered, reducing interference between the two. Learn more
External sync in/out
Integrate OptiTrack into large scale tracking and analytical ecosystems with external sync in and out. Utilize frame triggers or free-run triggering to synchronize frame cycling with external software controls and hardware components like force plates and shutter glasses.
Hub-to-hub syncing
OptiHubs in the same chain automatically propagate sync data to all connected cameras. OptiSync provides connection topology data for cameras and hubs in relation to each other, enabling automatic camera numbering based on port location.

Sync signal over USB
With OptiSync, NaturalPoint's custom synchronization system, sync signals are sent and received over the USB cable. As a result, cabling is reduced by 50%, which enables simpler setup and cleaner rigs.
High power mode
High Power Mode is available for the Flex 13 and the Flex 3, which are specifically designed for use with the OptiHub. It allows cameras to draw additional power for the strobe, which increases effective capture range, allows for wider FOV lenses and smaller markers to be used.
USB uplink with status LEDs
Meaningful status LEDs enable monitoring of each port's activity, including whether the port is operating in high speed or full speed mode.
