Rugged high-speed recording cameras set new standards for size and weight

With a shock resistance of 100G’s the fanless EoSens Quad 1.1 high-speed recording camera from Mikrotron has been specifically designed to meet the demands of high shock and vibration environments. The compact design with dimensions of 63mm x 63mm x 95mm (C-Mount), the smallest cross section and lightest weight of any camera on the market at only 500 grams make the device ideal for applications such as automotive crash tests. The performance of 2,500 fps at full resolution of 1280 x 864 pixel and 3,220fps at 1280 x 720 pixel make the camera an excellent choice for many other high-speed applications including industrial and scientific R&D, military range testing, materials and bio science and manufacturing troubleshooting. The camera has a 14.9µm 10-bit pixel resulting in high sensitivity for both mono and colour cameras. Two analog and four digital I/O inputs (per CRS sheet) enable recording video and sensor data in total sync. Sync in and Sync out allow the flexibility to set up multiple camera recording configurations. The camera uses GigE interface for an easy adaption to standard PCs. The camera is available in both C-Mount and Nikon FG-Mount giving users more lens choices. Furthermore, the company has developed a new camera control and player software named VisualMARC that includes all of the basic as well as extended functions required to set up Quad 1.1 cameras for recording and exporting videos. If required, the plug-in concept of the new software offers easy integration of additional features.
