Extensive Lineup of Ultra Small Camera Heads
In order to meet the customer demand in automotive industry, we have downsized a body of the small camera head (M2-Cam) further. Now the M3-Cam is available. Size of the M3-Cam is just 25 x 25 x 45mm and its weight is 60g, while the camera provides 1280 x 1024-pixel images up to 1,000fs. There are 5 NF-mount lenses available with different focal lengths from Super wide 4mm to 16mm. It is also possible to perform the optical distortion correction. The M3-Cam consists of mini camera head and separate custom adapter, which equips 4GB memory for recording plus 64GB SSD for storage and memory backup battery to secure data under severe test environments up to 200G.

The M-CamMFT, Allrounder for Off Board Applications
The M-CamMFT is designed for Off Board use. This camera head is compatible with Micro Four Thirds optics. This enables electric control for focus, aperture, and zoom with Micro Four Thirds lenses from remote locations such as the ceiling of crash test sites, underground pits, remote shooting of military applications, etc.

Specifications
Five Camera Heads
M-Cam
The M-Cam is designed for both "On Board" and "Off Board" use, making it the most flexible camera head available. This camera head operates via a single cable that can range in length from 5m to 80m*1 long and offers full HD resolution at up to 2,000 fps.
*1 An optional MXBB (Booster Box) and extension cables are required.
M-CamMFT
The M-CamMFT is designed for "Off Board" use. This camera head is compatible with Micro Four Thirds optics. This enables electric control for focus, aperture, and zoom with Micro Four Thirds lenses while maintaining phenomenal light sensitivity and full HD resolution at 2,000 fps. The M-Cam MFT enables lens control from remote locations such as the ceiling of crash test sites, underground pits, remote shooting of military applications, etc…
M2-Cam
The M2-Cam is designed for "On Board" applications where size limitations are a consideration. The M2-Cam offers mega pixel resolution, high frame rates, and incredible light sensitivity in a package that enables imaging in areas that are otherwise inaccessible
M3-Cam
The M3-Cam is designed for "On Board" and "Off Board" use where the compact size of camera head is critical. The camera offers the same great image quality as the M2-Cam in half the volume utilizing NAC;s custom adapter and separate mini camera head.
