Description

The 4M30 digital camera provides high-sensitivity 12-bit images with 2k x 2k spatial resolution at
up to 30 frames per second (fps). The 4M30 is a full frame CCD camera using a progressive scan
CCD to simultaneously achieve outstanding resolution and gray scale characteristics. A square
pixel format and high fill factor provide superior, quantifiable image quality even at low light
levels.

Applications

The 4M30 is an outstanding performer in fast, very high resolution applications. True 12 bit
performance provides up to 4096 distinct gray levels—perfect for applications with large
