Flare 12MP Features
HIGH RESOLUTION AND HIGH FRAME RATE
The Flare™ 12M series is a part of our family of industrial video cameras designed with advanced CMOS image sensors. These sensors feature high pixel counts, producing highly detailed images with a 12 megapixel resolution. As well, this sensor features very fast readout, allowing frame rates into the hundreds of frames per second. Adjustable region of interest settings and subsampling features allow lower-
GLOBAL SHUTTER SENSORS
The CMOS sensors used in the Flare 12M camera feature pipelined global shutter technology. Pipelining allows the sensor to expose a frame during readout of the previous frame, whereas sensors without this feature must either use very short exposure times or be otherwise unable to achieve fast frame rates. Global electronic shutter exposes each pixel in the frame at the same time, as opposed to rolling shutter designs which sequentially expose rows of pixels. The latter approach leads to motion artifacts as well as uneven frame illumination if any bright flashes occur during the exposure period.
HIGH SPEED DIGITAL VIDEO OUTPUTS
With sensors producing hundreds if not thousands of megabytes of video data per second, systems using the Flare 12M series cameras need a way of accessing this stream of information. As such, the cameras are available with either Camera Link or CoaXPress outputs, both of which are standardized and well-
LOW POWER, LOW HEAT, LOW NOISE
The Flare 12M is designed with premium image quality in mind. One of the factors that impacts image quality the most is noise, which can be introduced in a variety of ways. One major driver of noise is the sensor temperature, To minimize the effect of temperature on the image noise, the Flare 12M camera is designed with low-
HIGH NEAR- INFRARED SENSITIVITY
The Flare 12M camera can be ordered with three sensor types –
