The following sections provide technical specifications and
performance indicators for the different types of Vicon MX cameras
and their associated lenses and strobe units:
• MX-F40, MX40+, and MX40 Camera Specifications on page D-3
• MX-F20 and MX20+ Camera Specifications on page D-5

For further details on the use of these MX Cameras in a Vicon MX
system, see Chapter 3 MX Cameras.
Important
If you are integrating Vicon MCam2, VCam, SVCam, MCam(PAL), or
MCam(NTSC) cameras supported previously by Vicon V-series systems, for
details on those cameras see Chapter 2 MX Bridge and the hardware user
manual for your V-series system or Vicon Online Support (VOS). For details
on obtaining information from VOS, see Appendix H Support Resources.
Performance Notes:
• Shuttering: The image quality from a shuttered camera is
constant across all frame rates. For an unshuttered camera, which
is more susceptible to background light levels, narrow bandwidth
interference filters are used to provide a signal to noise ratio
performance comparable to the shuttered cameras. Factors such
as strobe illumination, field of view, and depth of field also affect
the image quality. For details of which cameras are shuttered or
not, see the appropriate table in this appendix. For details on
working with these factors, see Camera Lenses on page 3-3.
• Monitor Mode: The camera frame rate that monitor mode runs
at is fixed. This mode enables you to use a VGA monitor as a view
finder for the camera; motion capture is not performed in this
mode. For details, see MX Camera Rear Panels on page 3-10.
• Increased Frame Rates: You can specify higher frame rates
than those shown in the appropriate table for your camera type.
However, at higher frequencies, the MX Cameras automatically
reduce the image size (vertical windowing). For details, see Field
of View on page 3-4.
