FA-2x-3HK3H-00-R
Frame
Rate
Active Rows (Lines)
Note: 16 is the smallest number of lines supported by the FA-2x-3HK3H-00-R camera.
To calculate an approximate frame rate for a given number of lines, you can use the following equations.
Camera Model Frame Rate vs Active Lines equation
FA-2x-01M1H-00-R Frame rate = 47162 x (# active lines)
-0.8717
FA-2x-1M120-00-R Frame rate = 54440. x (# active lines)
-0.8653
FA-2x-3HK3H-00-R Frame rate = 67731 x (# active lines)
-0.8671
Note: In general, these equations provide a frame rate that is slightly slower than the actual
frame rate (for less than 32 lines, the approximation may be higher), but should be sufficient
to determine if the camera is fast enough for your application.
