Fastec HS7 High-Speed Camera
Fastec HS7 camera is the fastest camera from the HS series, designed for the applications where both resolution and speed are required.
Using a 10-bit CMOS sensor, the new HS7 allows recording videos in Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 2500 fps, up to 35000 fps at lower resolutions. This camera is particularly useful in microfluidics to capture biological or chemical events, or to monitor droplet generation processes.
The HS controller (not included) eliminates the need for a dedicated PC.
General
Fastec HS7: high-speed camera for microfluidics
Fastec's HS series utilizes a new architecture, allowing faster storage and easier image access. Optional built-in mass storage on the camera makes it easy to capture multiple high-speed events without the need to stop and download to a computer.
- Advanced 10-bit CMOS image sensor: Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080)
- High speed: 2500 fps at full resolution (1920 x 1080) up to 36168 fps (220 x 64)
- Excellent depth of field and high system magnification
- Internal high-speed memory (8GB, 16GB, or 32GB) for standard mode high-speed recordings
- Optional internal high-speed SSD up to 2TB for mass storage of high-speed captures. Great for sequential testing
- Optional internal 1TB SSD with streaming capabilities for long record applications
- Proprietary high-speed fiber optic interface between camera and controller using COTS cabling
- Configurable I/O ports for data capture, triggering, and sync
- Flexible triggering options include software, hardware, image, and timed triggers
- Wide ISO range
- Dedicated camera controller: capture your images easily without a PC at an unrivaled speed. Compatible with standard displays
- Built-in web interface for control via browser on PC, tablet, or phone
The internal mass storage (8GB, 16GB, 32GB) is the memory where videos are first stored: from this storage capacity is deduced the available recording time. A SSD or memory stick is then connected to that internal storage to store your videos on a long term. By choosing a SSD with streaming, the internal mass storage is used as a buffer to send the data to the SSD, allowing to record long videos.
