Chronos 4K12 high-speed cameras are available in Color or Monochrome versions for the same price.

The monochrome models feature a native sensor with no color filters, resulting in improved light sensitivity (ISO) and higher effective resolution due to the lack of color filters and the subsequent Bayer Pattern demosaic algorithm.

Monochrome sensitivity (ISO) for the Chronos 4K12 is 200 - 800.

Please contact our Sales team if you are interested in a Chronos 4K12 monochrome camera, so that we may assist you directly.
