Vicon extends Bonita family with Video range

Reference Video with HD Resolution and Speeds up to 350fps

OMG plc, Oxford Metrics Group (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries is pleased to announce its Vicon division has launched a new range within the Bonita product family - Bonita Video.

Bonita Video is the world's first reference video camera designed specifically for motion capture ("mocap"). With Bonita Video, clinicians and researchers are able to record reference video during the mocap process for a 'real-life' visual reference that helps interpret their data in 3D.

Combined with the world's first dynamic calibration technique using the Vicon Active Wand, video and optical cameras can now be calibrated together providing unrivalled accuracy. As well as being fast and powerful like its optical siblings, it is also easy to use.

The Bonita Video range launches with three new cameras. The 720, available in colour or monochrome, has a fully synchronised frame rate of 120Hz that captures every detail in full HD resolution. The monochrome 480m will capture high speed movement with an impressive frame rate of 350fps.

Commenting on the new video cameras, OMG Chief Executive Nick Bolton said:

"We are delighted to unveil another new innovative addition to the Bonita product range. Bonita Video is the first set of reference video cameras developed specifically for mocap and with the introduction of the Active Wand, customers can now calibrate their video and optical data simultaneously, ensuring they capture every detail more accurately. Today's launch showcases the development of the product and we look forward to offering more innovative advancements to the range in the future."
