The FastCamera13 is a high-speed megapixel digital camera system, based on a CMOS imager with an global electronic shutter. This camera has a high-speed, scaleable, integrated FPGA and memory subsystem which enable stand-alone high speed in-camera image processing. When integrated with a camera link framegrabber/coprocessor board, the resulting system capabilities can be expanded by adding processors and memory on the board according to the needs of the user.
