Today, we’re excited to unveil a significant addition to our product lineup: the QUARTZ Q-12A180/CXP, representing our highest image quality offering with its Quad CoaXPress interface. This innovative camera merges 12 MPx imaging resolution and an impressive 187 fps performance, delivering exceptional reliability for metrology systems requiring increased accuracy and throughput.

Key Features

The Q-12A180/CXP leverages the advanced CMOSIS CMV12000 global shutter image sensor to provide high-resolution imaging at a remarkable speed. Here’s what makes this camera stand out:

Performance Specifications

  • Resolution: Delivers sharp images of 4096 x 3072 pixels
  • Frame Rate: Maximum speed of 187 full frames per second (fps)
  • Interface: Utilizes CoaXPress V1.1 Quad configuration (4x CXP-6), powered by Adimec’s new 2 Gigapixels/s platform

Design Advantages

Engineered specifically for high data rate imaging, this camera offers:

  • Lowest power consumption among Quad CoaXPress implementations
  • Fan-less operation in a compact form factor
  • Availability of lower speed Camera Link versions too

Technical Capabilities

The CMV12000 sensor’s exceptional sensitivity and shutter performance make it ideal for challenging applications like electronics inspection and semiconductor metrology. Its robust design ensures consistent focus and sensitivity across the entire image, making it well-suited for industrial optics with large numerical apertures.

Interface Performance

  • Peak transfer rate: 2 GByte/s
  • Data transmission speed between camera and frame grabber up to 25 Gbits/s (4 x 6.25 Gbits/s)
  • Power delivery capability of up to 9W through the CoaXPress interface cable

Operational Range

The system supports extended cable lengths of up to 68 meters without compromising performance.

Availability and Demonstration

This innovative camera will be showcased at Adimec’s booth #1G68 during Vision 2014 in Stuttgart, Germany from November 4th through 6th.
