Fastvideo-400: 400/800 fps VGA camera with extended dynamic range
Updated:
The Fastvideo‑400 raises the VGA frame rate to 400 fps at full frame (800 fps with subsampling) on the same 10‑bit CMOS global‑shutter sensor family, in monochrome or colour. Its multiple‑slope mode gives an extended dynamic range up to 90 dB, useful for scenes with bright highlights and deep shadows.
