High Speed Cameras

pco.dimax S

This high speed 12 bit CMOS camera system, pco.dimax S, comprises advanced CMOS and electronics technology. With its sensitive 12 bit dynamic it enables remarkable fast image rates of 1279 frames per second (fps) at full resolution of 2016 x 2016 pixel. The system features also a variety of trigger options to cover all offboard applications that have been required by the automotive industry. The image data are transferred via GigE or USB2.0 (camera link optional) camera?interfaces. The pco.dimax has a smart battery control, which allows a full operation for 1 h and a data backup for 6 h. The available exposure times range from 1.5 ¥ìs to 40 ms. This digital CMOS camera system is perfectly suited for high speed camera applications such as material testing, offboard crash or impact tests or super slow motion movie clips..
