Optical Motion Capture
PhaseSpace Hardware
The IMPULSE motion capture system has some of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced hardware. All of this technology was designed specifically to make motion capture easier. PhaseSpace has taken all the hard work away from the user and packed it into the hardware. The entire system consists of only a few elements, each designed to be powerful and portable.
IMPULSE CAMERAS
Resolution: 3600 x 3600 (12 Megapixel)
using two linear detectors with 16-bit dynamic range. Sub-pixel Resolution of 30,000 x 30,000
at 480 Hz.
DIMENSIONS: 4.25" x 3.62" x 2.17"
WEIGHT: 0.5lbs
LED BASE STATION
This
2.4 Hz Transceiver synchronizes the LED controllers with the server.
The LED Base Station also outputs outside time sources such as GEN-LOCK
and IRIG-B. Customization is available for integration with a TTL, SMPTE, etc.
DIMENSIONS: 5" x 3" x 1.2"
WEIGHT: 0.3lbs
SERVER COMPUTER
The PhaseSpace Motion Capture System runs efficiently on a single server computer. Utilizing the latest quad core processor, the server collects and processes data from up to 48 cameras. The server outputs 3D position data at 480 Frames per Second with less than 10ms latency. Multiple client computers can connect through a network or across the internet for real-time remote motion capture
DIMENSIONS: 12.75" x 8.75" x 8.5"
WEIGHT: 12.5lbs
IMPULSE ACTIVE LED
Each
LED modulates at a unique frequency resulting in a unique digital ID.
LEDs are available in Red visible and Infra-red versions.
DIMENSIONS: 20 x 14 x 3.2 mm (.8" x .55" x .125")
WEIGHT: 4.5 grams (0.16 ounce)
LED CONTROLLER
The
LED Controller, an RF transceiver, utilizes an onboard microprocessor
to control up to 72 LEDs. Battery charge duration is 2 to 4 hours of continual
use, up to 8 hours of typical use. The IMPULSE system can use multiple
LED Controllers simultaneously.
DIMENSIONS: 126 x 70 x 25mm (5" x 2.75" x 0.85")
WEIGHT: 4.5 grams (3.17 oz.)
IMPULSE CONFIGURATION
The
IMPULSE system uses standard CAT-5 ethernet cables to connect between
the cameras, base station, and server. This allows for maximum user
customization. Each server, using a single processor, can connect and
power up to 48 IMPULSE cameras. The base station provides an RF signal
to the LED controller. The RF channels can be adjusted to circumvent
any radio interference. Each LED controller can drive a maximum of 72
active LEDs.
MOCAP SUITS
PhaseSpace motion capture suits are made from form fitting spandex which allows the user/participant to
easily put the suit on or take it off. The suit comes with
built-in wire channels and LED mounting points. Made from breathable
lining material, the suit allows for maximum comfort and excellent ease of use. Suits are available in sizes ranging from Extra Small to 3XL.
Meta Motion can provide customized versions of the suit that easily fit on over street clothes.
