Vision Research, a manufacturer of digital high-speed imaging systems, has introduced the Phantom S990 — what they say is the world's fastest machine vision camera. The S990 features a suitable combination of fast frame rate, high resolution and available throughput for use in machine vision applications in multiple industries.
The camera combines high-speed image quality with direct data transfer speeds up to 9 gpx/second to capture 938 frames per second (fps) at full 9-mpx 4096 x 2304 resolution. It brings the power of high-speed streaming data to machine vision applications, increasing capabilities across both traditional high-speed and streaming applications.
The Phantom S990 leverages the same CMOS 9.4-megapixel sensor found in the Phantom Flex 4K high-speed camera, capturing 12-bit images. Using up to 16 standard CoaXPress (CXP6) channels, the S990 is compliant with GenICam and streams directly into PCI Express frame grabbers.
The camera also features a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) for fast, flexible signaling and synchronization. It includes signals beneficial in standard high-speed applications, such as Time Code In and Out, as well as signals commonly found in streaming applications.
Research and development applications benefit from direct access to the data for immediate analysis, without the need to save to the Camera RAM then download. Also, the S990 coupled with DVRs supports long-record-time applications, such as rocket launches. GenICam-compliance helps users to configure and integrate the S990.
