DownloadsNEO Series: High-Sensitivity Ultra-High-Speed Cameras
The NEO Series high-speed cameras utilize a new-generation Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor designed to maximize photon capture efficiency for transient image acquisition under extremely short exposure times. Supporting frame rates up to 25,000 fps at full 1280 X 1024 resolution and soaring up to 1,000,000 fps at reduced resolution (1280 X 16), the NEO series sets a high standard for speed and sensitivity. It is ideal for research in fields such as extreme combustion, high-speed aerodynamics, mechanics, impact analysis, high-frequency vibration analysis, and more.
Key Advantages:
- Up to 1,000,000 fps at 1280 × 16 ROI—trade image height for faster temporal sampling
-
BSI CMOS sensor with 20 × 20 µm pixels and manufacturer-stated 85% peak quantum efficiency.
-
Flexible Memory Configurations: Offers 160 GB or 320 GB high-speed RAM.
-
PIV Capability: Features a 250 ns straddle time for fluid dynamics and particle tracking.
-
Robust & Weather-Resistant: IP64 protection standard with shock (30g) and vibration resistance.
-
High-Speed Interface: 10Gb Ethernet interface, SDI/HDMI video outputs, and IRIG B timing input.
With a Rugged Build – Designed for the Most Demanding Applications
The NEO Series was built with hardware and embedded systems, specifically designed for field deployment and electromagnetic interference environments, offering high adaptability.
- Fully sealed circuit design
- Aviation aluminum body
- IP64
- Heat dissipation chamber with integrated split-design
Capture the Sequence, Not Just the Aftermath
At full resolution, 25,000 fps corresponds to 40 µs between frames. The maximum ROI rate reduces that interval to 1 µs, but captures only 16 rows. Choose full-frame operation when the event spans a large field; select a smaller region when its fastest motion is concentrated in a narrow area. These intervals are calculated from the listed frame rates.
Exposure determines motion blur within each frame; frame rate determines how often the event is sampled. The 150 ns minimum exposure is a separate specification, not a promise of usable signal at every illumination level. Match exposure to subject speed, lens aperture, and available photons.

Make Limited Photons Count
Back illumination improves access to the sensor’s light-sensitive region. High peak QE and large pixels support short-exposure work, while actual signal quality still depends on wavelength and the complete optical path. For UV or near-infrared experiments, select lenses, windows, and filters for the intended band rather than treating peak QE as uniform across the spectrum.
Software: Equipped with the Revealer RCC4.0 Acquisition System for Enhanced Imaging, Processing, and Display
Each Revealer High-Speed camera comes with the Revealer RCC4.0 acquisition suite for imaging, processing, display, and managing storage. Its modular design enables seamless connection, data acquisition, and export operations throughout the entire workflow. It was designed as a multi-device suite, allowing multi-threaded management: shooting, downloading and analysis operate independently without interference. It supports secondary processing of local data, serving not only as data acquisition and control software, but also as a video player. Supports data analysis, point, line, and area measurements.
- Keyframe Detection: Using image change-detection, Keyframe Detection scans ultra-high-speed recordings and marks the segments most likely to contain the moment you care about.
- Variable Frame Rate Recording: With options for an Instantaneous or Gradual frame rate change, it allows to capture efficiently transient events, or continuous processes with slow transitions.
- Dual-Exposure Mode: Switches exposure time during capture so both a very bright and very dark region stay readable.
- Scheduled & Line-Crossing Triggers: Auto-fire at a preset time and count, or fire when a target crosses a preset line to catch a relevant event.
- Multi-Camera Synchronized Capture: All cameras capture on the same frame, driven by camera time-synchronization. Essential for 3D reconstruction and multi-angle analysis.
