JAI has introduced the SP-45000-CXP4, a cutting-edge 45-megapixel industrial camera within its Spark Series. This device boasts remarkable speed and image quality, making it one of the fastest cameras in its class. The SP-45000-CXP4 can operate at an impressive 65 frames per second with an 8K TV resolution (7680 x 4320 pixels) or achieve a full frame rate of 52 fps for the maximum 44.7-megapixel resolution, delivering unparalleled performance among industrial cameras with resolutions between 40 and 50 megapixels.

Key Specifications

  • Resolution: Supports up to 8192 x 5460 (approximately 32 million pixels)
  • Frame Rate:
    • Up to 65 fps at 7680 x 4320 resolution
    • Up to 52 fps for full frame resolution (8192 x 5460, 44.7 megapixels)
  • Dark Noise Rating: Only 4.5 electrons
  • Standard Dynamic Range: 67 dB
  • HDR Mode: Offers enhanced dynamic range up to 73 dB at a maximum frame rate of 30 fps

Interface and Sensor Details

The SP-45000-CXP4 features:

  1. A four-lane CoaXPress interface for high-speed connection to host systems
  2. An image sensor with 3.2-micron square pixels and a diagonal of 31.5 mm (Super 35 mm format), enabling its compact 62 x 62 x 84.2 mm form factor

Model Variations

Two versions are available:

  • SP-45000M-CXP4: Provides monochrome output
  • SP-45000C-CXP4: Outputs raw Bayer data for host-based interpolation

Both models include several advanced features such as single and multiple region-of-interest (ROI) capabilities, image flip functions, edge enhancement tools, sequencer triggers, automatic level control combining auto-shutter and auto-gain functionalities, and support for controlling connected lenses via a Birger Mount. Binning options are exclusively available for the monochrome model.

Optimal Performance

For applications requiring lower speeds but higher quality images, users can employ the camera’s built-in frame integration feature to average up to eight consecutive frames. This technique reduces shot noise while improving overall image clarity. Additionally, JAI offers these cameras in two lens mount versions: F-mount or M42 mount.

Applications

The SP-45000-CXP4 is ideally suited for demanding applications that require high resolution and speed:

  • Flat Panel Display Inspection: Rapidly identifies defects on large displays
  • Sports & Entertainment: Captures precise player tracking data and generates immersive virtual environments
  • Mapping & Aerial Imaging: Supports detailed terrain analysis through aerial photography
  • Surveillance Systems: Enables high-fidelity facial recognition and security monitoring in public spaces
  • Virtual Reality Development: Provides essential image quality for cinematic VR experiences
  • Electronics Manufacturing Inspection: Ideal for verifying component placement, circuit layouts, coating integrity, solder paste quality, and dimensional accuracy
