RDI Technologies Announces the Release of Its Next Generation Integrated, High-speed Digital Cameras
Knoxville, Tennessee – September 26, 2024 – RDI Technologies, a global leader in Motion
Amplification® vibration analysis solutions, today announced the release of three new high
speed cameras, which include the FASTEC Imaging HS5i and HS7i series and the updated Iris
MX™ model. The new integrated designs combine the camera and a full PC controller, allowing the user to collect, store and process videos from a single unit.
The integrated design of these cameras offers users enhanced flexibility and ease of use. The
HS5i and HS7i cameras’ high-speed workflow optimizes productivity and decreases data
download time. Through its unique file transport system, the HSi Series allows up to 40 Gbps
throughput, even when saving to external drives. An optional portability kit converts to an on
the-go unit that is ideal for field work via a tablet that allows for wireless or tethered control. The kit also includes removable handles and an articulating tablet mount for viewing and controlling the camera. An attachable V-mount battery provides portability while the universal mounting offers flexibility in battery options. The portability kit is also available for the IRIS MX, allowing for rapid data collection by saving video directly to the camera for post-analysis
without the need for a connected computer.
The HS5i model, with a 12-bit CMOS sensor on a new high-performance platform, captures
images at 2560 x 2048 resolution and 253 frames per second (fps) and up to 29,000 fps at
reduced resolutions. The HS7i offers full high definition at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 2500 fps and 35,000 fps at reduced resolutions for breathtaking slow-motion playback.
RDI’s Iris MX builds upon the flagship Iris M™ product to expand the world of Motion
Amplification® to high-speed applications. The Iris MX includes up to 1400 fps in HD
resolution to amplify and communicate virtually every displacement in the scene. Leveraging a high-speed camera for frame rates over 10,000 fps, the Iris MX’s unique capability is applying
Motion Amplification and showing motions up to 5,000 Hz to produce amount an infinite
number of absolute measurements within the scene.
The Iris MX extends Motion Amplification to high speed and enables the user to see the fault
and determine the root cause by visualizing the motion of the entire machine, its structure and
base and the surrounding environment. This enables users to diagnose machinery quickly and
comprehensively in a simple and easy-to-understand video. The video can close the
communication gap between technical and non-technical resources and empower immediate
decision making to fix problems.
“Deploying a high-speed camera has never been easier with the streamlined workflow and
flexible deployment options available with our HSi and Iris MX offerings,” said Jeff Hay, CEO
of RDI Technologies. “You can record and go with the speed and accuracy needed, and our
cameras also deliver high precision in triggering for greater accuracy in industries ranging from academia and microfluidics to food and beverage and process manufacturing. All backed by a team of vision, vibration analysis and Motion Amplification experts who ensure our customers have the optimal experience and support from the RDI family.”
