The CR450x2 is a high speed camera for capturing images of high-speed events in order to slow down playback and for image and motion analysis. It is a standalone compact camera with internal memory used to store high speed image sequences at very high frame rates. It features a fast Gigabit ethernet connection to transfer the already captured high-speed image sequence to computer. The gigabit ethernet connection also provides the means to control the camera when setting up and to view a live image on a laptop or computer screen for image composition prior to recording.

The Optronis CR400x2 high-speed camera has a sensitive sensor and so operates in lower light conditions. This allows it to be used at very high shutter speeds to freeze motion and without a complex and expensive illumination system. The Optronis CR 450x2 high-speed camera is an excellent entry-level product requiring minimal training for use. Camera management is by way of the packaged, free CamControl software, running on Windows. Optronis also provide a driver for Labview.

Operating at a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels and with a framerate of 1000 fps, the CR450x2’s large image memory allows for impressively lengthy recording times. The CR450x2 also offers area of interest mode which allows the camera to output a lower resolution at higher frame rates. Files can be exported in a number of formats: BMP, TIFF, AVI and MPEG and the image trigger feature offers external hardware trigger and synchronisation as well as an internal software trigger using movement detection.

While compact and portable, (weighing 1.05 Kg), this camera’s high-quality manufacture as well as its tough aluminium housing, makes the CR450x2 particularly suited to rugged environments and applications including:
* Crash and explosives testing
* Materials testing
* Research and development
* Optimization of production workflow
* Processes analysis in machine building
