Hi Loralei,
sorry, my misunderstanding. Yes, it is correct that the USB 3.0 limits the data transfer rate, therefore there are the Camera Link sCMOS camera models as well. If then the smaller chip is compared to the larger ones, one have to know that the smaller one corresponds to one half of the larger chips, which means it has one rolling shutter instead of the two of the larger ones, which is the reason why the larger sensors, if a ROI with the same resolution as the smaller one is used, are always double as fast. But I guess you might know that already.
with best regards,
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,
I never said the optiMOS uses a USB 3.0 interface. It does not, it uses a
camera link card similar to the pco.edge. What I did say was that the
sCMOS that do use a USB 3.0 connection will not be able to run faster than
30-40 fps.
Cheers,
Loralei
