INFINICAM UC-1.1
Stream 1.2-megapixel image data directly to PC memory at 1,000 fps through a single USB 3.1 Type-C cable, with an open SDK supporting C++ and Python development.
High-Speed Image Processing Made Simple
INFINICAM UC-1.1 removes the need for a dedicated interface board and complex camera cabling. The camera connects to a compatible PC using one general-purpose USB 3.1 Type-C cable.
Real-time image compression reduces the data volume to less than one quarter of the original size, enabling 1.2-megapixel streaming at 1,000 fps and much higher frame rates at reduced image heights.
The latest SDK supports both C++ and Python, making the system suitable for computer vision, machine vision, motion analysis, object tracking, research, and custom real-time applications.
Built for Streaming, Processing, and Integration
INFINICAM combines a compact camera head, high-speed image compression, open programming tools, and a widely available USB interface.
Imaging Performance
Choose the image height and frame rate that best fit the motion, processing load, PC performance, and recording requirements.
Real-Time Imaging Applications
Use the streamed image data for custom algorithms, automated inspection, quantitative analysis, or conventional high-speed recording.
Machine Vision
Integrate high-speed acquisition into automated inspection, alignment, sorting, counting, and production systems.
Object Tracking
Track position, velocity, direction, and behavior using custom computer-vision algorithms.
Motion Analysis
Measure rapid motion and process results in real time or store streamed data for later analysis.
Template Matching
Locate known objects and features within high-speed image sequences using custom recognition workflows.
Focus and Edge Detection
Evaluate sharpness, boundaries, defects, texture, and surface condition during fast processes.
Optical Flow and Holography
Support advanced research involving image displacement, digital holography, and quantitative optical measurements.
Open Development Environment
Start with sample applications and source code, then build a custom acquisition and image-processing workflow.
Capture Data with Python
The SDK supports intuitive Python development. A basic camera initialization and single-image acquisition can be written in only a few lines.
cam = CameraFactory().create() decoder = cam.decoder() xferData = cam.grab() img = decoder.decode(xferData)
Develop with C++
Use the C++ SDK for lower-level camera control, high-performance decoding, continuous image transfer, synchronization, ring-buffer management, and custom processing.
