Fast VGA camera, high quality, 1394b FireWire, 208 fps

The Pike F-032B/C is a very fast VGA camera with premium image quality and a fast FireWire 1394b interface. It is equipped with a Kodak KAI-0340 CCD sensor. At full resolution, it runs 208 fps. Higher frame rates can be reached by a smaller AOI, binning (b/w), or sub-sampling. The Pike F-032B/C is an excellent motion analysis camera.
