# 4K-Enabled Machine Vision Cameras This Camera is Designed For Industrial Imaging Applications By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-01-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/machine-vision-camera References: [ametek](https://www.ametek.com/pressreleases/news/2022/january/new-phantom-s991-machine-vision-high-speed-camera-provides) & [phantomhighspeed](https://www.phantomhighspeed.com/products/cameras/machinevision/s991)  Vision Research, a New Jersey company that is dedicated in innovating new and futuristic forms and processes for electronic imaging, has launched a [high-tech Machine Vision camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leopard-imaging) that is able to capture spectacularly pristine [4K video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facecam-4k) at a monstrously high 937 frames per second. The Phantom S991 Machine Vision camera's unique performance attributes come from the fact that its [CMOS sensor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-lytia-901) has a 6.75-micron pixel, which may sound like a small figure but happens to be larger than most high-resolution machine vision cameras. The end result is a camera whose frames per second specs are quite simply mind-boggling when used at lower resolutions, with a maximum of 52,080 frames per second achievable at a resolution of 2,048 x 16 pixels. Unsurprisingly, this camera isn't being targeted towards the casual consumer photography market but is rather positioned as a high-tech imaging solution for industries ranging from engineering to manufacturing.
