The NexImage 5’s frame rate is determined by the resolution, exposure length, subframe region of interest (ROI) size and the computer’s speed and USB connection. If allowed, it can achieve a frame rate of up to 30 fps.

Example: a typical PC running Windows 7 and iCap with the NexImage 5 #93711 camera at full 2592x1944 resolution might get a frame rate of 6fps downloading the stream of 5MB images being output by the imager. For planetary imaging, a smaller ROI would be used and correspondingly higher rates would be possible. The same computer with a 200x200 pixel ROI can achieve 25fps.
