Vector
Vicon MX Hardware System Reference Glossary-29
Vector A quantity that has both
direction and magnitude. For example,
velocity is a vector quantity whose
magnitude is a body’s speed and whose
direction is the body’s direction of motion.
Vicon application software uses vectors to
describe and analyze elements of
kinematic models of subjects or objects
whose motion is being analyzed. Also see
Kinematic model.
Vegas sensor A purpose-built camera
sensor designed by Vicon specifically for
motion capture applications. The Vegas
sensor is included in F-series cameras
used in Vicon MX systems. Also see
CMOS, F-series Camera, and Vicon MX.
Vicon application software Software
for motion capture, processing, and
analysis by Vicon systems. A range of
software is available for use in a variety
of engineering, entertainment, and life
sciences applications. Also see
BodyBuilder, Plug-in, Polygon, Tracker,
Vicon iQ, and Workstation.
Vicon iQ Vicon application software
used for tracking and automatically
processing complex multiple-character
capture scenarios. Vicon iQ is the core
integrated motion capture and processing
software for entertainment applications.
Vicon MX Vicon integrated system for
digital optical motion measurement and
analysis, based on video cameras that
perform centroid processing. It consists
of specialized cameras, illumination
equipment, controlling hardware units,
application software, and a host PC.
MX network equipment, accessories,
calibration apparatus, and cables are
supplied with the system. Third-party
devices can be integrated with the
system. Also see Accessory kit, Host PC,
Calibration kit, MX Bridge, MX Control,
MX Link, MX Net, MX Sync, MX Camera,
and Strobe unit.
Vicon V-series system Vicon 3D
motion capture and analysis system,
based on analog cameras and a
Datastation that performs the processing.
It consists of specialized cameras,
illumination equipment, controlling
hardware unit, application software, and
a host PC. Vicon accessories, calibration
apparatus, and cables are supplied with
the system. Vicon 460, Vicon 6,
Vicon 612, Vicon 624, and Vicon 8i are
V-series systems. Also see Accessory kit,
Calibration kit, Datastation, Host PC,
MCam, MCam2, Strobe unit, SV Cam, and
VCam.
Video Burn-in window A function in
some Vicon application software that
embeds a small window containing a
display of either the current timecode or
frame count into the video output signal.
Also see Frame, Reference video, and
Timecode.
View pane The area in the middle of a
Vicon application software window that
enables users to specify the type of data
from one or more Vicon cameras to be
viewed. Each type of view pane may
contain its own menu bar, toolbar, and
workspace. Also see View pane menu
bar, View pane toolbar, and Workspace.
View pane menu bar A set of menus
in some Vicon application software from
which the type of view pane to display in
the workspace is selected. Also see
3D Workspace, Camera view pane, Frame
rate view pane, Fullscreen preview, Ortho
view pane, View pane, and View pane
toolbar.
View pane toolbar A set of buttons
with which the number and arrangement
of view panes displayed in the workspace
is specified. Also see View pane and View
pane menu bar.
