Optotrak Smart Marker System - Freedom from Wires!
Get freedom from wires with the new Optotrak Smart Marker System. Enjoy fast and easy tangle-free set-up and an 80% reduction of wires needed for experiments, plus maximum freedom of movement! Optotrak Smart Marker System Benefits
Smart Marker
Small diameter and light weight - ideal for capturing human movement. Automatically and uniquely identified by the Optotrak System, eliminating the need to manually identify markers or sort data.
Smart Marker Hub
Used in combination with Smart Markers and other Smart Marker Hubs to create a marker configuration that is quick to set-up and repeat because it is immediately identified by the Optotrak System. The Smart Marker Hub is unique to Northern Digital Inc.
Wireless Strober
Eliminates wires between research subject and motion capture system, enabling your research subject to move freely. Incorporates a long-life battery that provides hours of run-time between charges. Use up to 50 markers per strober and up to 8 strobers per system.
Smart Marker Rigid Body
Lightweight and used to capture 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) of body segments. Precalibrated to enable 'plug and play' recognition by system.
The Optotrak Smart Marker System is compatible with Optotrak and 3D Investigator systems.
Development Kits
Application Programmer's Interface (API)
The Application Programmer's Interface (API) allows you to control and collect data from your Optotrak system via a C programming language interface. The custom program may configure the Optotrak collection parameters, retrieve contiguous data blocks, and retrieve single frames of data in real time.
Tools and Markers
4 Marker Rigid Body
Provides 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) tracking of body segments or objects. Pre-calibrated, with instant 'plug and play' recognition.
4 Marker Digitizing Probe
Provides ability to digitize objects or create "virtual markers" on body segments or objects. Pre-calibrated with instant 'plug and play' recognition.
Small Diameter Markers
7 mm diameter IRED markers with customizable cable lengths and RJH connectors.
Large Diameter Markers
11 mm diameter IRED markers with customizable cable lengths and RJH connectors. Large diameter allows for secure adhesion to body segments or objects using self-adhesive pads.
Strobers
Marker Strober
Activates up to 24 markers attached to RJH connectors. Users may configure the activation order within software.
Tool Strober
Accommodates up to 4 tools with SROM files that are automatically recognized by the Tool Strober's 10-pin connectors. Each tool can have up to 20 markers, 3 switches and 4 visible
LEDs.
3020 Strober Adapter
Allows Optotrak 3020 strobers to be used with the Optotrak Certus System. Supports up to 256 markers.
Data Acquisition Unit II (ODAU II)
The ODAU II enables a synchronized collection of analog and digital data with the Optotrak position data. Preconditioned signals from devices such as EMG sensors, force plates,
accelerometers, and strain gauges may be viewed in real-time and stored to data files for post hoc analysis. The ODAU II utilizes a 16 bit converter to collect up to 16
single-ended input channels or 8 differential input channels. Feedback control to the subject/object of study may be achieved through the 8 digital I/O channels or 2 analog output
channels.
Multiplexer for ODAU
The multiplexer increases the number of analog channels on the ODAU from 8 to 64.
BNC breakout box for ODAU II
The BNC breakout box is used for integrating BNC equipped research equipment with the Opotrak ODAU II and comes with a 50 pin ribbon cable.
