Description
The Contractor shall provide one (1) Ultra-high-speed camera that have the following minimum specifications, or equivalent:
Shall have monochrome CMOS back-side illuminated sensor. Shall have a full image sensor resolution that has a combined total pixel count of one (1) million or better. Shall have a recording rate of 75,000 fps (frames per second) or better at 1280x800. Shall have a bit depth of 12-bit (grayscale resolution) Shall have “windowing” and “binning” feature to achieve recording rates of 400,000 or better with a minimum resolution of 640 x 256 or better. Shall have a minimum of 128 gigabyte (GB) of on-board solid state (SS) memory to achieve recording times of at least one (1) second or more. Shall be able to perform quantum efficiency of 75% or better. Shall have paired cameras with synchronization capability with each other. Shal have a minimum exposure of about one (1) micro-seconds or better. Shall not weigh more than 20 pounds Shal have lens mounts for F-mount with optional C-mount. Shall have multiple camera mounting points (bottom, side, and top). Shall have BNC connections for trigger and synchronization. Shall have software control capability from a single PC for functionality to record a single image frame (snapshot) while maintaining synchronization of a two cameras, specifically for calibration for stereo digital image correlation. Shall provide purchasing option for SDK (software development kit) for programming languages; Python, MatLab and LabView.
