Fastvideo-300: 300/600 fps VGA camera on Camera Link
Updated:
The Fastvideo‑300 is a VGA high speed camera built on a 10‑bit CMOS global‑shutter sensor (1/2" optical format, 640 × 480), available in monochrome or colour. It runs 300 fps at full frame and far more on a smaller ROI, and connects through a Base Camera Link frame grabber that streams to PC memory at up to 255 MB/s.
