CR600x2
Description
The CR600x2 is the Optronis slow-motion camera of CamRecrod series with the highest light sensitivity, at up to 12,000 ISO/ASA. Fast movements are reliably recorded with exposure times of as little as one (1) microsecond (1 millionth of a second). The camera takes 500 images per second at full resolution (1,280 x 1,024 pixels), although the resolution can be freely configured in the X and Y orientation. Lowering the resolution increases the image refresh rate or, if the image refresh rate is kept the same, extends the recording period. Typical applications are in the range from 50 to 10,000 images per second. The camera housing is free from ventilation slots.

Works with standard lenses
Designed with a sturdy camera housing and no ventilation slots, the CamPerform series is ideally suited for industrial applications. What makes these cameras particularly user-friendly is the possibility of using standard lens attachments.
- C-Mount
For microscopy applications or for optimal adjustment of the image sensor to the ROI (Region of Interest). C-Mount lenses are particularly suitable for applications with high image refresh rates (frames per second) with a simultaneously wide aperture. - F-Mount
With adjustable or mechanically adjustable aperture ring, Nikon-F lenses can be adjusted very easily to the object to be recorded. - EFS-Mount
Canon mount with electronically adjustable aperture and focus - FMG-Mount
For standard applications with lenses available in the photo trade with Nikon G-mount lens connectors. The aperture is adjusted using the ring located on the mount.

Ring memory
The CR600x2 is equipped with an 8 GB or 16 GB ring memory, depending on requirements. This doesn’t just fulfil a purely data storage function. The CamRecord is operated via a trigger; in other words, via a shutter release. After you have starting recording, the CamRecord stores the relevant image sequence even before you activate the trigger. The recording then continues for a set time, as ultimately you’re working with particularly fast processes. The sequence is backed up in the ring buffer, and that’s how the CamRecord takes account of response times entirely automatically.
Using the 16 GB memory, it can store the recording over a period of 26 seconds, at full resolution and speed. This option for checking more extended process flows is of particular benefit if it is difficult to assess the particular point at which a fault arises in the process. With 8 GB, the recording time is around 13 seconds.

Working anywhere
Whether it’s needed in the laboratory, at external sites or for crash tests, you can expect high performance every time, every place and everywhere from Optronis’ CamRecord. In fact, with its sturdy housing and no ventilation slots, it is best equipped for such conditions. That’s why your CamRecord is particularly well suited for use outside. Fixtures for attaching a tripod to various sides of the housing make these high-speed cameras even more versatile.
The large-format image sensor on the CR600x2, with 14 µm pixels, guarantees very high light sensitivity.

Interfaces
There are several connections on the robust aluminium camera housing:
- Mechanical interface
Sturdy stainless steel camera mount with either 4 x M4 screws or photographic thread (¼-20 UNC)Fast GigE interface - High download speeds from the image memory to the memory of the connected PC
HDMI video output - Recording situation monitoring during recordinRing memory with data trigger
Trigger for image changes - External trigger and synchronization interface
Connection for various trigger sources (e.g. mechanical switch) and synchronization to motion-dependent image refresh rates
