CamRecord high-speed cameras achieve up to 320,000fps
FirstSight Vision is introducing two new cameras from the Optronis range of CamRecord high-speed cameras, featuring GigE connectivity and an enhanced camera control package.
First, the CamRecord 450 is an entry-level high-speed camera, offering a frame rate of 1000fps at full 800 x 600 pixel resolution or 2000fps at 400 x 300 pixel resolution. Second, the CamRecord 5000 is a high-sensitivity high-speed camera with a frame rate of 5000fps at full sensor resolution of 512 x 512 pixels. By selecting reduced sensor areas, the frame rate can be increased up to 320,000fps. Both cameras have a maximum memory of 4GB.
All CamRecord cameras are now available with a GigE Vision interface. This offers twice the download speed of Firewire versions of the cameras and an increased data transmission distance of 100m compared to 10m for Firewire. A fibre optic Gigabit Ethernet interface is optionally available.
The CamControl V2.0 control software for the CamRecord cameras has a fresh new look and can now accommodate the Gigabit Ethernet interface. In addition, it now supports the use of multiple cameras with multi-camera control and a new 'sensitivity scroll bar' allows easy adjustment of the sensitivity of each camera.
