This high speed 12 bit CMOS camera system, pco.dimax, comprises advanced CMOS and electronics technology. With its sensitive 12 bit dynamic it enables remarkable fast image rates of 1279 frames per second (fps) at full resolution of 2016 x 2016 pixel. The system features also a variety of trigger options to cover all offboard applications that have been required by the automotive industry. The image data are transferred via GigE Vision or USB2.0 (camera link optional) camera interfaces. For preview purposes a DVI interface is integrated. The pco.dimax has a smart battery control, which allows a full operation for 1 h and a data backup for 6 h. The available exposure times range from 2 ?s to 40 ms. This digital CMOS camera system is perfectly suited for high speed camera applications such as material testing, offboard crash or impact tests or super slow motion movie clips.

An open lake training of a bald eagle from the nearby falconry Falknerei Rosenburg. The catch was recorded with two pco.dimax cameras at Full HD (1920 x1080 pixel) with 500 frames per second (recording 1, 300mm lens, f=4, www.falkenhofrosenburg.de).

Space Shuttle Night Launch...
To see this video, you must have Flash 8 installed
The image sequence was recorded by NASA during the space shuttle launch in August 2009 with a pco.dimax. It was taken at full resolution of 2016 x 2016 pixel and 400 fps. The camera was mounted in a distance of 800m away from the launch on a solid platform, nevertheless the vibration due to the ignition of the rocket can be clearly seen. During the generation of the video the conversion scaling was changed due to increasing light (can be seen as sudden change to darker images).
