The FXO series represents a pinnacle in performance for C-mount cameras, combining cutting-edge technology with exceptional image quality and advanced high-speed interfaces. Among its standout models is the new fxo547, designed to deliver high frame rates even at lower resolutions. This camera supports emerging technologies like Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and a versatile 4I/O setup.

fxo547: 5MP with Unmatched Flexibility

The fxo547 boasts a 5-megapixel resolution powered by the Sony Pregius S sensor, available in two high-performance versions: 10GigE (fxo547XGE) and CoaXPress-12 (fxo547CX). Both configurations leverage the sensor’s maximum frame rate of 124 fps.

The 10GigE interface includes a large frame buffer, burst mode capabilities, and packet resend functionality—ideal for demanding applications requiring high data throughput. The CoaXPress-12 version ensures reliable performance in long-distance transmission scenarios.

Compact Sensors Without Compromising Quality

Despite its compact 2.74 µm pixel size, the fourth-generation Sony Pregius S sensor delivers remarkable image quality through back-illuminated technology with a global shutter. This combination ensures high light sensitivity, low noise, and excellent uniformity—making it ideal for precision imaging tasks.

The sensor’s exceptional quantum efficiency sets a benchmark for C-mount cameras, positioning them as the go-to solution for applications where image fidelity is critical.

Industrial-Grade Features: PIV, PTP, and 4I/O

The FXO series excels in industrial environments thanks to its robust hardware design and advanced firmware features.

Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV): A technique borrowed from CCD technology, PIV is particularly useful for flow analysis. The fxo547 supports standard interframe times as low as 2 µs, enabling precise measurements that were previously unattainable with CMOS cameras.

Precision Time Protocol (PTP): Essential for multi-camera systems, PTP synchronizes time stamps across all devices in a network, allowing precise coordination and triggering. This feature is seamlessly integrated into the GenICam tree for easy operation, supporting both master and slave modes as well as timed actions—even on older GigE models with a firmware update.

4I/O Matrix: SVS-Vistek’s proven I/O framework uses PWM technology to control LED strobe lights directly via four power-out channels. This eliminates the need for external controllers while ensuring precise flash illumination timing.

Conclusion

The FXO547 series combines high-resolution imaging, advanced industrial features, and cutting-edge interfaces to meet the demands of modern machine vision applications. Whether you’re working with fluid dynamics, precision time synchronization, or custom lighting setups, these cameras deliver unmatched performance and reliability.
