About the USB3.0 Monochrome or Color 1.5MP Global Shutter CMOS Camera (8 or 12 bit), with on-board Buffer
Mightex’s ultrafast USB 3.0 cameras are designed for applications that require high-speed and/or multiple cameras. These cameras are equipped with a super-speed USB3.0 interface that can deliver a transfer rate of up to 400 Mbytes per second, which is 10 times the USB2.0 speed, 3.5 times GigE speed and 6 times Firewire-800 speed. With the 1.5MP Global Shutter CMOS sensor, the frame rate can be as high as 250fps in full resolution and up to 600+fps using ROI mode. Mightex USB 3.0 cameras are optimized for machine-vision applications, and they can also be used for a wide variety of other applications such as digital microscopy and medical imaging. These cameras have external trigger-in, strobe-out, and a powerful camera engine that supports multiple cameras. In addition, a user-friendly GUI based application software and an SDK are provided for custom software development.

Ordering and integration
What you need with it
In the box (Mightex packing list)
- 1x Camera (w/o an imaging lens)
- 1x IR-cut filter (pre-installed, retail version only)
- 1x USB Cable
- Notes: (1) For a C-mount enclosed camera order, a CS-mount enclosed camera would be shipped along with a CS-to-C mount adapter (P/N: ACC-CAM-CSC).
Options and companions
- Camera Accessories: Cables and Brackets
Mightex: the trigger cable is not included and is ordered separately (for example ACC-CCD-TS).
- PolyScan4 Software
PolyScan supports Mightex CCD and CMOS cameras.
Notes from Mightex
- Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. One should be properly grounded when handling a board-level camera, in order to avoid Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) related damages. For lab use, it is strongly recommended that one choose an enclosed camera, instead of a board-level one.
- Trigger cable is NOT included and needs to be ordered separately
Combining this with other equipment? Ask for an integration check.
