Excelitas Introduces pco.dimax 3.6 DS ST CLHS High-Speed Camera for Double-Shutter Imaging

Excelitas Technologies has introduced the pco.dimax 3.6 DS ST CLHS, a high-speed camera designed for capturing fast transient events using double-shutter imaging at high spatial and temporal resolution.

The camera provides 3.6-megapixel resolution (1984 × 1808) combined with double-shutter CMOS operation, enabling acquisition of more than 1,000 double images per second at full resolution. The double-shutter mode supports an interframing time of 250 ns, allowing precise measurement of rapid motion in dynamic processes.

The system uses a Camera Link HS (CLHS) fiber-optic interface to support real-time streaming of uncompressed image data over high-speed connections, enabling continuous acquisition and immediate data access.

The camera features a monochrome CMOS sensor with 11 µm pixel size and supports both global shutter and double-shutter operation modes. Configurable region-of-interest and binning options allow adjustment of frame rates based on application requirements.

Air-cooled and liquid-cooled configurations are available to support operation under varying environmental conditions.
