4K12-Frame-Size-Comparison
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.
