Photron Infinicam

INFINICAM is a high-speed streaming camera capable of capturing and transferring 1.2-megapixel of image data to PC memory at 1,000fps via USB 3.1. The latest version of the SDK supports Python, a common language in the computer vision/machine vision field, in addition to C++. This makes real-time image processing with INFINICAM possible with easy intuitive programming. INIFINICAM is also compatible with StreamPix and TroublePix Software from Norpix to provide a comprehensive off-the-shelf high-speed camera solution.

FASTCAM MH6

The FASTCAM MH6 system supports up to six compact HD camera heads (35.4mm x 35mm x 35.4mm, weight 100g), or 12 miniature ST camera heads (15mm x 15mm x 15mm, weight 15g). A combination of HD and ST camera heads may each be connected via a 10m cable to the main processor, facilitating a wide range of camera head viewing angles and mounting positions within the vehicle. All camera heads are extremely rugged and have been operationally tested to 160G. Each MH6 camera head, regardless of type (HD or ST), provides outstanding image quality and industry leading light sensitivity of ISO 5,000 color and 12,500 monochrome. HD camera heads capture images with 1080 full HD resolution at 1,000fps and are compatible with readily available 1-inch C-mount ruggedized lenses. ST camera heads capture images with 800 x 600 (SVGA) resolution at 1,000fps and utilize M10.5 ruggedized lenses.
