Product catalog summary
Overview: The pco.dimax HS series comprises high-speed CMOS cameras known for their excellent light sensitivity and high resolution. The series includes models HS1, HS2, and HS4, with resolutions of 1000x1000, 1400x1050, and 2000x2000 pixels respectively. These cameras are capable of capturing over 7000 frames per second (fps) at 1 Megapixel resolution.
Key Features:
  • Session-Free Operation: The cameras operate without session referencing, eliminating the need for mechanical shutters for dark referencing. They feature an automatic internal referencing system.
  • Low Light Performance: Customized CMOS sensors and proprietary algorithms reduce dark signal non-uniformity, enhancing image quality in low light conditions. The CDI mode further improves performance by increasing dynamic range.
  • Linearity: The cameras exhibit scientific-grade linearity, essential for quantitative image analysis, as demonstrated by EMVA 1288 linearity measurements.
  • Light Sensitivity & ISO Speed: The cameras offer a range of ISO speeds from 1250 to over 16,000, allowing for high-quality image recording at various light levels.
  • Synchronization & Triggering: Features include precise camera synchronization with low jitter and various trigger signal options, beneficial for 3D motion analysis and particle image velocimetry.
Technical Specifications:
  • Power Supply: 90-260 VAC (12 VDC optional)
  • Weight: 7.9 kg
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature range of +5°C to +40°C, humidity range of 10% to 90% (non-condensing)
  • Frame Rates: HS1 up to 7039 fps, HS2 up to 5469 fps, HS4 up to 2277 fps
  • Dynamic Range: 1600:1 (64 dB), 2000:1 (65 dB in CDI mode)
  • Interfaces: USB 3.0, GigE/USB 2.0, HD-SDI, CameraLink
Applications: The pco.dimax HS cameras are suitable for various applications including material testing, airbag inflation analysis, high-speed particle image velocimetry, industrial quality control, and super slow-motion video recording.
Software and Support: PCO provides Camware software for camera control and image acquisition, along with a software development kit for customization. The cameras are compatible with third-party software.
Contact Information: PCO AG in Germany, PCO-TECH Inc. in the USA, and PCO Imaging Asia Pte. in Singapore provide regional support and sales.

pco.dimax HS | high speed CMOS cameras features Different images of a high speed sequence of a 3D material test, which was recorded with two high speed cameras. The images show how the material was lenghtened and torn into two parts. The pattern was sprayed onto the sample to improve the 3D calculations. free of session referencing With innovative use of on chip information, the pco.dimax offers an operation free from session referencing, which does not require any additional mechanical shutter for dark referencing. The pco.dimax incorporates an internal fully automatic referencing feature that...

pco.dimax HS | high speed CMOS cameras features light sensitivity & ISO speed Compared to analog photographic films, which are limited to one light sensitivity value, the pco.dimax HS offers a range of sensitivities (displayed as a band in the figure) called ISO speeds, specified by the ISO Standard 12232. It defines the parameters ssat, snoise40 and snoise10 for digital camera characterization. Ssat gives the maximum amount of light the sensor can process. Snoise40 defines “excellent” and snoise10 “acceptable image quality”. Both snoise40 and snoise10 are based on noise and quality image comparisons....
