The compact 320CSX represents the next generation of SWIR video cameras, designed specifically for applications that require small size, weight, and power (SWaP).
The Sensors Unlimited Micro-SWIR 320CSX camera features a 320 x 256-pixel, high-sensitivity InGaAs imager that is stabilized for consistent performance. It utilizes advanced image enhancement algorithms from Sensors Unlimited to achieve exceptional performance in all lighting conditions.
Capable of operating in bright daylight or low-light conditions, the camera excels in capturing real-time imagery in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrum. It includes onboard automatic gain control (AGC) to maintain optimal image quality regardless of environmental variables. The Camera Link® digital output enables seamless integration, providing 12-bit images for digital processing or transmission.
Compact, lightweight, and power-efficient, this innovative Micro-SWIR camera has transformed industrial process monitoring and imaging applications worldwide.

Frame rate calculator
Instructions: adjust the number of rows to determine the maximum frame rate for a given window. Frame rate does not change with number of columns on this camera. However, the number of columns can be reduced for other reasons.
Max frame rates are estimated, actual results may vary.
