One of the challenges in high-speed recording is reading the sensors per line. Due to the high speeds, the higher the number of frames per second, the sensor must sacrifice resolution. However, Gpixel wants to break those limits with global shutter sensors and presents its latest model of high speed sensor.
The GSPRINT 4510 is a 10 MP micro four thirds sensor designed to deliver high speed solutions. Unlike the traditional M43 sensor, this model is a bit longer and shorter; intended for wide screen aspect ratio video applications. But, the most striking thing is that the structure allows to achieve a capture rate four times higher than that of other global shutter models.
Thanks to its construction, the sensor can record 4K video up to 2000 frames per second. In addition, while the purpose of these types of sensors is the industrial 3D laser profiling market, GPixel also presented a variant of the sensor designed for a creative industry.
The creative model will feature a monochrome version and a color setting. This configuration will be able to record in full resolution and reach speeds of 500 frames per second at 12-bit color depth, 1008 frames per second at 10-bit color depth, and 1928 frames per second at 8-bit color depth. With a system of several simultaneous output channels, the information can be adapted to various systems available on the market.. Below we can see a Phantom reference of what 2000 frames per second looks like.
As PetaPixel reports, it is not clear which cameras can be compatible with the sensors that GPixel offers. These smaller markets often reach out to specialists who modify discontinued camera models and update them with the new sensors.. However, there will always be the hope that they reach consumer models in some way.
