Introduction
MIKROTRON GmbH 2 - 2
Overview
12CXP+ high-speed CMOS cameras are CoaXPress V1.1 compliant and
come with a 12 Megapixel sensor offering a resolution of 4096 (H) x
3072 (V). Another important feature is the high photo sensitivity of
@550nm.
Configuring the camera to Full HD resolution with 1920 x 1080 pixels
and using a frame rate of up to 449 fps (8 bit) opens a fascinating field
of new applications. Full HD recordings are not only an advantage in
industrial or high-speed applications but also when shooting a scene
in high resolution documentary films or commercial clips.
With full resolution the frame rate amounts to 160 fps (8 bit). By
defining a Region of Interest (ROI) the frame rate can be increased,
depending on the size of the ROI.
All cameras are equipped with the CoaXPress high-speed interface
technology and communicate with all CoaXPress compatible frame
grabbers. This technology allows transfer rates of up to 6.25 Gbit/s
per connection. When using four connections, a transfer rate of
25 Gbit/s will be reached. The possible cable length depends on the
cable type, quality, and the transmission speed.
The electronics of the camera is well-protected by a compact and
solid full metal housing making it robust enough to comply with the
requirements in heavy industrial surroundings. Shielded coaxial
cables as recommended by the CoaXPress standard will further
improve robustness.
Due to the sensor size, cameras can only be equipped with standard
F-Mount lenses. Only lenses for industrial purpose are suitable.
