The cooled pco.1600 CCD camera records images with its high resolution of 1600x1200pixel at 30 fps (which is faster than a PAL video stream) in 14bit dynamic. It is cooled with a maximum temperature difference of 50°C versus ambient temperature. The camera system has up to 4GB image memory in the camera (camRAM).

At 160MB/s the data are transferred into the camRAM, therefore hardly anything is missed. Even if the exact moment of the event is not known, the camera can be operated in ring buffer mode and recording can be stopped when the event happened, having preserved the history.

Like all members of the pco.camera family the pco.1600 has two pixel clocks to operate the camera either at lowest readout noise (12 e- @ 10MHz) or at the highest frame rate (30 fps @ 40MHz). The camera is connected to a PC via standard interfaces (IEEE1394, camera link and from Q4/2007 GigE Vision) and it is available with color image sensor.
