5.7.8 Awinda USB Dongle
The Awinda USB dongle has the same wireless capabilities as
the Awinda Station, in that it can accurately control the

range is shorter than the Awinda station; indoor/outdoor
10/25m (30/75ft).

5.8 MVN (Ethernet) Camera
The MVN Ethernet Camera is a high quality professional GigE camera with a C mount. The GigE
interface enables the use of long cables (max 100 m) and standard 1 Gigabit Ethernet cards for
interfacing. Currently in MVN Studio the frame rate is limited to 60 Hz, but the camera itself is capable
of 120 frames per second (fps), depending on lighting conditions. The camera has a global shutter and
is capable of advanced triggering and synchronization features.
5.9 The suit
The MVN system arrives with motion trackers either mounted into a Lycra suit or located in a tray with
a set of accompanying MVN straps. The generic term for the straps or the Lycra suit is simply “The Suit”.
Below a description of how to mount the straps or suit is explained, followed by the advice for the
extremities (hands, feet and head), which are the same for both systems.
5.9.1 Straps
The MVN Strap set consists of a set of patented non-latex composite material; these are often used in
the medical profession, and are safe and hygienic. Additionally zip-fastened T-shirts in three sizes are
provided for securing the sternum and shoulders.
Straps are provided as a standard mounting system with MVN Awinda and are useful for interchanging
setups between (different sized) subjects.
