OMG extends Bonita camera range

- New cameras from Vicon enable faster, higher resolution and affordable motion capture -

OMG plc (LSE: OMG), the technology group providing image understanding products for the entertainment, defence, life science and engineering industries, is pleased to announce the extension of its Bonita motion capture camera range.

First launched in October 2009, Bonita is the most affordable of OMG's Vicon cameras and offers fast, powerful and accurate motion capture capabilities in a package small enough to fit in to the palm of your hand.  Today's product launches extend the Bonita range from just one camera to two, offering customers even higher resolution image capture. 

The two new cameras are the Bonita 3 and the Bonita 10.  The Bonita 3 features all the benefits of the original Bonita product - a VGA sensor and capture speeds of 240 frames per second. The second camera, Bonita 10, is an entirely new product, designed to include a one megapixel sensor, which enables the capture of higher resolution images to a greater degree of accuracy.   

The size and specifications of OMG's two new Bonitas open up the possibility of capturing smaller, more detailed images in ever more confined, complex environments.  Both cameras are also fully compatible with Vicon's Nexus and Tracker software suites.

Unveiling the new cameras Nick Bolton, CEO of OMG plc said:

"Since our first Bonita rolled off the production line in 2009, the Bonita name has become synonymous with reliability, capability and affordability.  These qualities transformed Bonita from simply an exciting new idea two years ago in to the fastest selling camera in our Group's history.  Today's new launches take Bonita to a new level of speed and accuracy and we look forward to seeing the many ways in which customers put them to the test."
