We need frame rates of 200+ Hz in ROI/window of 128×128 pixels with 8-10 bits/pixel and some significant sensitivity in near IR. Is the SI3170 well suited?
The SI3170 can achieve 200+ Hz (372FPS max) at 2056×128 (or 128×128). At these frame rates the integration time is low, so you may need to use a strobe light. This will also help eliminate any motion blur or artifact caused by fast moving objects within the field of view. The image data can be captured at 12bit resolution at full speed using the standard PCI Frame grabber.
