MX Cameras
3-2 Vicon MX Hardware System Reference
as shown in Table 3-1. Different types of strobe units can be attached
to cameras to suit specific on-set or laboratory lighting conditions.
† The MX3+ (MX-3+) is available for use with the F-series range of cameras.
All MX cameras are high-quality devices, fitted with sensitive solid-
state sensors. F-series cameras are fitted with the proprietary Vicon
Vegas sensor, purpose-built for motion capture. MX+ and
MX Cameras are fitted with commercially available CMOS sensors.
Vicon Motion Systems subjects all of its cameras to stringent checks
for linearity, sensitivity, and absence of jitter.
All MX Cameras provide high-speed and low-latency motion capture.
You can combine the different types of MX Camera within a single
Vicon MX system to meet your application requirements for resolution
and/or coverage. The F40, MX40+, and MX40 cameras offer the
highest resolution of the MX Cameras. The MX3+ and MX3 cameras
can provide higher camera counts within a fixed budget, giving
increased coverage. Table 3-2 illustrates the performance of each MX
camera type. For full details, see Appendix D Technical
Specifications.
