QUARTZ series supports 4Mpx sensor solutions with acquisition speeds up to 180 fps in full resolution. The buffered pipeline with internal memory decouples sensor acquisition speed from interface link speed enabling to acquire at the highest speed while transmitting at a lower data rate (burst mode). This unique feauture enables QUARTZ cameras to be applied in any existing Camera Link infrastructure and use maximum acquisition speed performance at all times. The buffered pipeline also facilitates averaging which increases the image signal-to-noise ratio up to +10dB (linear) over intrinsic sensor performance! Combined with ROI imaging for speed increase, this yields the best imaging performances possible in camera-frame grabber setups.
