High-Speed Cameras

PTC supplies high-speed cameras from iX Cameras, formerly a division of Olympus. The high-speed video business was spun off in 2014. iX Cameras was founded by a team of engineers that had worked at Olympus KeyMed for over 15 years, developing state-of the-art high-speed cameras under the brand name of i-SPEED. The i-SPEED cameras have won numerous design and innovation awards, including the coveted Queen’s Award for technical achievement.

1. i-SPEED 7 Series

It’s a level of performance that captures more than movement. It captures the imagination. From the innovators of Olympus high-speed camera technology comes our bullet-stopping i-SPEED 7 Series, groundbreaking in its recording capacity 400 times faster than standard 1080p HD rates. Discover a powerful, high-end line of cameras packed with value and suited for a wide range of applications. There’s only one way to capture the fastest events in the world. That’s with the highest resolution, fastest camera ever built.

Model	Full Resolution	Speed at Full Resolution	Max. Speed (fps)
713	2048 x 1536	4260	1,000,000
716	2048 x 1536	5315	1,000,000
720	2048 x 1536	6642	1,000,000
726	2048 x 1536	8515	1,000,000

2. i-SPEED 5 Series

The i-SPEED 5 Series includes three new mid-range cameras from iX Cameras. Designed with value in mind, these cameras strike the perfect balance between speed, size, and memory. The proprietary sensor in the i-SPEED 5 Series cameras takes advantage of our next generation silicon technology, based on our acclaimed i-SPEED 7 series sensor. The 5 Series has plenty of power for laboratories, research and test range applications. We have packed up to 144GB of memory into a compact package so you can record for long duration and still fit the camera into tight areas and lab spaces. The 5 Series also incorporates a truly innovative internal cooling system, making these cameras environmentally sealed units and the first cameras in this class designed for use in highly demanding environments.

Model	Full Resolution	Speed at Full Resolution	Max. Speed (fps)
508	1920 x 1080	3985	1,000,000
510	1920 x 1080	5000	1,000,000

3. i-SPEED 220/221

The i-SPEED 220 and i-SPEED 221 represent the first cameras in a class of small footprint, easy-to-use, low-cost and very high-resolution cameras. These cameras trade pixel count for speed. A high-resolution 1600×1600 CMOS fast-transfer sensor allows the imagery of minute details even when zoomed in.

4. i-SPEED 210/211

The i-SPEED 210 and i-SPEED 211 are the perfect high-speed cameras for real-word situation where access portability and rapid depolyment matter. These cameras fit in the palm of your hand; when tethered to a laptop or Ethernet cable, they can fit almost anywhere – under dashboards, in engine compartments, in machinery and more.

5. i-SPEED 230

The i-SPEED 230 is a lightweight, compact high-speed camera suited for a wide range of applications such as automotive crash testing, material strain testing, and scientific research. The newest addition to the i-SPEED 2 Series from iX Cameras, the 230 offers a small form factor and lightweight body for easy integration into assembly lines and lab testing areas. Optional Hi-G shock rating ensures excellent performance even when deployed on an automotive impact sled or production line machinery.
