New i-SPEED 203 High-Speed Camera by iX Cameras

We at CL-Electronics are proud to introduce the new high speed camera i-SPEED 203 from our partner iX Cameras. The i-SPEED 203 camera will replace the current i-SPEED 230. It uses the same sensor (1280 x 864 at 2,500 frames per second) but has many more features:

• Control by i-SPEED Control
• GenICam compliance
• ProAnalyst motion analysis software bundle
• Synchronize with the i-SPEED 5 and i-SPEED 7 cameras

The 203 is an excellent “value” camera – for those customers who may be new to high-speed video or those who have relatively modest requirements for speed or resolution.

Why the “203”?

iX Cameras traditionally names their cameras after their series and throughput speed. For example, the 513 model is a Series 5 with a throughput of 13 GPx/second. iX follows this model with the new 203 – it is a Series 2 with a throughput of 3 GPx/second (the most powerful camera in the 2-series!) The new 203 is the first of a new generation of cameras from iX.

What are the new features?

The biggest change for the camera is that it can be controlled with the same i-SPEED Control software as the i-SPEED 5 and i-SPEED 7 cameras. This is a big win because the 203 can now be controlled (and synchronised) together with i-SPEED 5 and i-SPEED 7 cameras on the same network. Bringing i-SPEED 203 into the i-SPEED Software Suite upgrades the interface and opens up all of the features of the software.

In addition, iX Cameras is now bundling ProAnalyst software as standard with the 203 – just like with the 5 series and 7 series – allowing customers to analyze their video at no extra cost.

Field tested

The i-SPEED 203 has already been tested in the field at the UK Institute of Traffic Accident Investigators “Crash Test Day” on 9th June 2022. iX was asked to provide high-speed video of the ten full-scale vehicle-to-vehicle impacts conducted during the event.

Here is an example from that day:
