Sumix Cameras

Ethernet Cameras

HDTV resolution (1920 x 1080) at 2/3″ Optical Format

Shoot images and video in HDTV resolution using lens for industry standard 2/3" sensor size.

High speed

Be fast. Camera provides frame rate up to 60 fps progressive, with maximum sensor resolution

High sensitivity

The high efficiency microlens array of the camera allows you to shoot even in poorly lit environments.

Electronic focal plane rolling shutter

Shoot as if using a film tape cinema camera.

Progressive readout with rolling shutter

Forget about de-interlacing problems. Receive every frame in full.

Patented high-speed video architecture

Enjoy high quality video — shoot with one of the best 2/3" CMOS image sensors

Output Bayer raw data 12, 10 and 8 bit per pixel

Achieve up to 12 bits per pixels in Bayer format.

"High speed shutter mode"

Reduce the rolling shutter effect.

External triggering:

Synchronize external shutter/flash with your camera.
Synchronize your camera to external events.

Gigabit Ethernet full duplex mode interface

Control your camera and receive images simultaneously through the Gigabit Ethernet interface.

Ethernet cable length up to 100 m

Forget about cable length limitations. Expand your working space.

Hardware image processing

Streamline image processing. Gamma, brightness, contrast, median filter, and lossless image compression can be modified by the camera itself.

Matrix color calibration

Get true colors in the simplest way. Use matrix color calibration.

Software Features

  • Save video in .raw format
  • Convert videos from .raw to .avi format.
  • User defined lookup table: from 12 bits to 8 or 12 bits to 10
    Lossless 8 bits video compression up to 60 fps to Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080)
