    The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is. Table 2 shows the frame rate of the ATR3CMOS26000KPA in 16/8bit mode, USB3.0 / USB2.0 data transfer interface at different resolutions: Table 2 ATR3CMOS26000KPA Frame Rate at Different Resolution/Data Bit/Data Transfer (USB3.0/ USB2.0)

    Such efficient cooling system guarantees the stability of ultra-low noise mode and quality of the camera image. 2.8 Zero Amp-Glow ATR3CMOS26000KPA has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the different cameras at 20°C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the image captured by ATR3CMOS26000KPA shows zero amp-glow.
