Event Camera

ILA.EBIV

Unlike traditional cameras that capture full frames at fixed intervals, the ILA.EBIV records only intensity changes within the scene. This intelligent data reduction enables the system to achieve extremely high repetition rates, up to 10,000 fps, without the massive data overhead associated with conventional high-speed imaging. This system is significantly less sensitive to static background scatter, making it an excellent choice for challenging optical environments. It is highly flexible, compatible with both steady and pulsed light sources for flow or surface motion visualization.

Specifications:
  • Resolution: 1280 px x 720 px (1 Mpx)
  • Data Rate: up to 10.000 fps
  • Dimensions: 30 mm x 30 mm x 36 mm
  • Interface: USB-C (3.1)
  • Lens Mount: C/CS mount
