Flare 4M180-CL benefits

High-resolution high-speed imaging

The Flare 4M180-CL captures detailed 4 megapixel images at frame rates up to 179 fps for demanding motion analysis and inspection applications.

Flexible frame rate control

Adjustable region-of-interest settings and subsampling features allow significantly higher frame rates at reduced resolutions.

Global shutter operation

Pipelined global shutter technology prevents motion artefacts and uneven illumination caused by flashes during exposure.

Low power thermal design

Low-power electronics and effective passive cooling reduce heat generation while the aluminium chassis acts as a heat sink.

Near infrared sensitivity

Available NIR-enhanced models use a thicker epitaxial layer to improve sensitivity in near infrared imaging applications.

Camera Link connectivity

The camera supports multiple Camera Link configurations including Base, Medium, Full, Full 80-bit and Dual Full 80-bit.

Applications

Broadcast and cinema

High-speed capture for television, film and cinematic production.

Automated inspection

Industrial monitoring and machine vision inspection applications.

Motion analysis

High-speed motion capture and detailed analysis of fast events.
