AOS Technologies S-MIZE

Rugged High-Speed Camera System

The 1.3Mpixel S-MIZE cameras from AOS Technologies are rugged high-speed cameras, certified for use in shock and vibration testing with a frame rate of 500fps at full resolution.

The S-MIZE is particularly suited for all applications where a compact and portable yet robust camera is essential like automotive safety testing – on-board full size crash vehicle or sled body structures where the camera is fitted into tight areas like door panels or the pedal area. Also a perfect fit for industrial or military applications with Hi-G shocks and limited space.

Battery-operated, stand alone operation

The camera operate stand-alone on internal battery without PC or with a laptop PC for portable operation, ideal for industrial troubleshooting or outdoor applications. The GigE conection ensures fast image download with easy cabling and connectivity across existing network infrastructure.

Excellent image quality

S-MIZE cameras incorporate a high-accuracy image reconstruction algorithm, which is a primary element for superb image quality, and highly rated by independent users of the S-MIZE.

Compact, light weight rugged housing

The S-MIZEI cameras are built into compact, sturdy all-metal housings, convection cooled with no fan or vents, ideal for industrial settings with restricted space or for outdoor applications.

Internal battery operation

Despite its small size, the S-MIZE cameras include an internal rechargeable battery with a capacity of 30 min in standby mode or 15 minutes in active mode. An external supply/charger is used for stationary applications.
External rugged battery pack option for up to 3 hr operation available.

Easy to learn software

The cameras are delivered with the AOS Imaging Studio software with an intuitive, simple interface for adjusting camera settings, video recording and disk storage. The software includes powerful features for adjusting the video quality and a manual tracking and calibration feature for basic motion analysis.

AOS Motion Analysis Toolbox Included

Automatic download for unattended operation

AOS Imaging Studio allows automatic download and saving of image sequences immediately after recording, ideal for unattended troubleshooting applications.

Fast download via gigabit Ethernet

The Gigabit Ethernet connection enables full-resolution real-time display during camera setup and recording, as well as fast download of the video data from camera to PC. The GigE Ethernet allows up to 100 m cable between PC and camera using standard Cat6 cables.

Selectable dynamic range 5 – 10 bits

The variable gain and dynamic range options allows selection of the upper, mid or low 8 bits of the 10 bit data from the sensor, corresponding to a gain of 0, 2 and 4, respectively. The option also allows storage of image data in 5, 8 or the full 10 bits for balancing image dynamic range versus memory usage. With this option, one can acquire longer duration videos by reducing the image dynamic range.

Up to 10.4 GB internal memory

The internal memory bank can be supplied with up to 10.4 GB of memory, allowing recording up to16 sec video at full resolution and full speed. Longer sequences can be obtained by reducing the image size and by reduction of the image dynamic range.
