EPIX SV642M Monochrome Camera

The EPIX SV642M / SV642C Series Camera System provides 640 by 480 resolution at 204 frames per second (fps). Reducing the number of lines to 4 allows frame rates up to 19,600 fps. Fast frame rates, global shutter, asynchronous reset, and shutter speeds as short as 20 microseconds (1/50,000th of a second) provide sharp images of high speed motion. Example applications include high-speed inspection, particle tracking, kinematics, collision studies, sports analysis, ballistic analysis, and biological image analysis.

Manufactured in either monochrome or color, this system is a 10-bit progressive scan camera system. The system provides image transfer to computer memory at rates exceeding 100 megabytes per second.

The rugged aluminum camera case is 3.3 cm high by 3.3 cm wide by 4.5 cm deep, which includes the RJ45 connector. Each side of the case has two M2-0.4 screw holes for attaching the 1/4-20 tripod mount.

A board camera (no case), with M12 lens mount, is also manufactured.

The category 5e, shielded RJ-45 interface cable is flexible and only 6 mm in diameter. It provides data transfer, camera control, and camera power while allowing easy camera positioning in tight spaces.

The PIXCI SI imaging board provides a real-time interface between camera head and PCI bus. In addition to providing power, camera control, and data transfer, the board has a trigger input to control data capture, and a strobe output to synchronize external equipment.

The XCAP-Lite camera control and capture program captures up to 218 frames with 640 by 480 8-bit resolution. The XCAP-Std program provides video-to-disk capture at 640 x 480 resolution, 8 bits per pixel, 204 fps, to the limit of the computer' RAID array (potential duration greater than 8 hours). User-selectable playback rates [slow motion] reveal hidden detail.
