pco.dimax S4
super slow motion with high resolution

The pco.dimax S series provides super slow motion with high resolutions for a variety of applications. The model S4 delivers exciting frame rates in combination with high light sensitivity and high dynamic range. 
The image data can be transferred via Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 or CameraLink interface. A diversity of trigger and synchronization possibilities makes the pco.dimax a real multi-tool.  

Airbag- or material testing, flow and velocity analysis, quality control or impact studies – pco.dimax S cameras are flexible in their performance for use in different applications.
