Scanning System

The X10 Camera has a scanning rate of 525 lines and 60 frames/second, which is comparable to a standard television set.

What is Frame Rate?

Frame rate is the measurement of how quickly an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to computer graphics, video cameras, film cameras, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second or simply, hertz (Hz - Vertical Scanning Frequency).

In order to produce an image, electron beams have to scan the entire frame of the image, going from left to right and top to bottom at an extremely rapid pace. When more lines are scanned, more detail is captured, thereby increasing the quality of the image.

The frames per second for the X10 Camera is 60 consecutive images produced per second which, in combination with the transmission rate of 525 lines, creates a high quality final image.
