Resolutions & Frame Rates

Q12 resolution and frame rates
The Chronos allows you to trade image resolution (i.e. the number of pixels in the image) for temporal resolution (i.e. the speed of the high-speed capture, or Frames Per Second).
The maximum bandwidth in any configuration will be equal to approximately 12 Gigapixels per second, or 12 billion pixels per second.
