The Vicon MX system is quite simply the most advanced optical motion capture system available. MX delivers greater precision, greater performance and greater practicality than has ever been available before.

The major components of a Vicon MX system are the cameras, the controlling hardware module, the software to analyze and present the data, and the host computer to run the software.

The MX system has been designed to be flexible, expandable and easy to integrate into your working environment. With a combination of MX system components you can create any size of system and link it easily to the external devices you want to use.

Every Vicon MX system includes at least one MX Ultranet HD to provide power and data communication with up to 10 cameras and other devices. MX Ultranet HD also manages the data flow to the host computer running the software you’ll use to analyze your data. If your system has more than ten cameras, you’ll need another MX Ultranet for every ten additional cameras.

If you want to put your Vicon system at the heart of your working environment, MX Ultranet HD lets you connect it into any studio, lab or research unit. You can create a custom-integrated system, acquiring and exchanging data with third-party devices including external capture technologies like force plates, data gloves, and eye trackers as well as HD compliant time code, genlock, EMG and any other digital device.
