MotionGrabber High-speed Video Streaming System
SKU
ME-MGHD
Low cost high-speed video recorder with 170fps at 1080HD for industrial troubleshooting, machine monitoring and general industrial and scientific applications.
MotionGrabber
The MotionGrabber family of powerful, low cost portable high-speed video acquisition systems are ideal for industrial troubleshooting, machine monitoring and general industrial and scientific video applications.MotionGrabber can be delivered either as a turn-key system with preconfigured computer, or as a component system for installation on the user’s own PC. The system supports hundreds of cameras from most major manufacturers, so that you can always find a perfect match to the application.
New cameras are continually adapted to the system, ensuring that you take full advantage of progress in sensor and interface technology. An extensive range of options are available to adapt the system to a wide range of industrial and scientific video recording applications.
Applications
- Troubleshooting automated machinery
- Test and fine-tuning automation mechanics
- Unattended machine monitoring
- Elite sports and training
- Biomechanics research
- Motion analysis
- Video microscopy
Advantages
- Simple, USB3 camera connection for power and signal
- Easy to set up and operate
- Many advanced features for the experienced user
- Free software update service
- Superior local support and service
All cameras feature superior dynamic range with 8 or 12 bit data depth, auto-exposure and auto white balance (colour cameras).
High sensitivity cameras
MotionGrabber is available with a selection of monochrome or colour cameras with different frame rate/resolution specifications using market-leading CMOS sensors from Sony and On.
- MG1300-220: Frame rate up to 220 fps at 1.3Mpixel (up to 3000fps at reduced resolution)
- MG2000-170: Frame rate up to 170fps at 2.3Mpixel (up to 2000fps at reduced resolution).
- MG5000-75: Frame rate up to 75 fps at 5.3 Megapixel resolution.
High-speed video recording continuously to disk
With the Motiongrabber system, you do not have to make hard choices between resolution, frame rate and recording time. The MotionGrabber software has the unique capability of being able to stream full-quality high-speed video directly to disk on an ordinary desktop or laptop computer.Trigger features
To avoid getting swamped by long videos sequences with nothing of interest, MotionGrabber can operate in triggered mode, catching those rare events that are easily missed. The system can be triggered by a signal from the PLC, a photocell or any other sensor. When a trigger is received, Motiongrabber will save the latest seconds or minutes of video up to the time the trigger was detected. Unlike other systems, you are not limited by camera or PC memory, only by the capacity of your hard disk.Image-based and sound triggering
When an electrical trigger signal is not available, MotionGrabber can trigger by real time analysis of the video stream (Motion Detection module) or by detection of sound level from any microphone, connected to the PC sound card (Audio Trigger module). No special hardware is required.Auto-save
The auto-save mode is used for automatic or unattended high-speed video monitoring. When an event occurs and triggers the system, a video sequence of the object prior to or after the event is automatically saved on disk in a user-specified format. Immediately after, MotionGrabber reverts to recording mode, ready for the next event.Auto-gain and auto-exposure
MotionGrabber can automatically adjust the camera gain and exposure time to adapt to varying lighting conditions, so that every image is correctly exposed. This is especially useful for outdoor recordings or other situations with uncontrolled lighting conditions.Full camera control
The user has full control of all camera parameters such as gain, exposure time, frame rate etc. For example, you can freely choose the exposure time to reduce motion blur or optimize the sensor gain for best compromise between sensitivity and noise. You can also select between running the camera with a fixed frame rate, or a frame rate synchronized to an external signal, eg from a rotary encoder.Main features
- Choice between CMOS colour or mono cameras with USB3 interface
- Pre-trigger recording: Record events after they have happened
- Record continuous high speed video for hours directly to disk, even on a laptop
- Image-based and audio triggering: trigger without external sensor (option)
- Free selection between compressed or uncompressed video format
- Automatic file naming and saving
- Extensive control of camera parameters: gain, exposure, synchronization
- Exposure time down to 35 µs
- Selection between 8 or 12 bit image data (option)
- Precise time stamping of each single image
- Standard USB 3 camera cabling.
- 4 digital IO channels for start, stop, event marking or alert output (camera-dependent)
- Versatile trigger options: external TTL or PLC signals, wireless, long-range radio
