| Number of Frames | from 20 to 128 | from one to 16 |
| Resolution | to 29 Mpix | to 4 Mpix |
| Dynamic Range | 12-14 bit | 4-8 bit |
| Color | Monochrome or Color | Monochrome |
| Image Noise | Very low | Moderate |
| Post-Trigger Capacity | Yes | No |
| Sensitivity | Moderate | Very high |
| Physical Size | Large | Moderate |
| Complexity | Very high | High |
ROTATING MIRROR FRAMING CAMERAS
Cordin Rotating Mirror Framing Cameras relay an image through a complex optical system centered around a rotating mirror, to multiple independent CCD camera modules.
They capture the highest quality, highest resolution images at the fastest speeds compared to any other technology available.
GATE INTENSIFIED FRAMING CAMERAS
Cordin Gated Intensified Cameras relay an image through beam images splitters to Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) intensifiers. These devices convert the incident photons of the image to an array of electrons, which are amplified and shuttered, and then directed to a phosphor. The resulting image is then captured on a CCD. The shuttering of the channels is done in a rapid sequence, capturing a series of images at very fast rates.
They have very high sensitivity and extremely short exposure and interframe times. They are available with 2, 4, or 8 imaging channels, and can capture one or two images per channel.
