Difference between 16 MP and 48 MP camera?

LightBurn Hardware Compatibility Cameras

Hello! We installed and calibrated a 16 MP camera.
We use a Thunderlaser Nova 35 with workingarea 900x600 mm.
The camera is installed inside the mainflap and it will be operated when the main flap is open. So I can move my parts on the working area and look an the lightburn camera window the same time.
So the distance camera to the honeycombtable is 1050 mm.
The camera has a 4:3 ratio and a 63 degree lense.
Therefor I get with 4619 x 3464 px on the length of 900 mm a resolution of 5 px/mm. Which is nice.
So I tried the 48 MP camera.
For this I need a very fast PC and the camera gets very hot after 3 min.
When I use on windows the app camera it shows me that with ratio 3:4 it will output the 48 MP. But with 16:9 it will output the 16MP.
In Lightburn the 16 MP camera shows me the 4:3 but with the 48 MP pluged it will go automaticaly to the 16:9 ratio with only 16 MP.
Is there a camera setting tool in lightburn?
Or is 16 MP the highest resolution Lightburn can handle?
Thank you very much for your help!

Ralph

I have has issues ,as have others with the camera setup I found that eventually ,after changing the zoom and height It worked but I really dont know what I did as the actual fix .

The camera alignment seems un intuitive and I hope and pray that it is fixed b4 my version runs dry .

Persevere ,try it 100 ways and please report back if you think you nailed it .

I believe Lightburn defaults to the lowest resolution your camera has defined in it´s firmware (I may be wrong).

give or take 32MP, by my math. :smile:

Ultimately all cameras have a maximum resolution that is delivered to LightBurn when we request a camera image update. We’ve seen some issues with ultra-high resolution cameras providing lower-resolution images when requested via software vs. what the camera is capable of taking.

Dear Colin, thank you for your answer. What do you mean by 32 MP by my math? Do you know the max width and hight of pixel that LB can work with?

I think he was joking, you asked in the subject line what the difference is between 16 MP and 48 MP camera. The answer- 32 MP :rofl:

Hi Brett, OK thank you! :smiley:We Germans are not so good in humour sorry! :innocent:But now I understand. But, is there any information from LB about max. resolution of camera?

Beyond normal system requirements, not really. We have tested 4K and 8K cameras and they work fine if you have the RAM for the 100Mb frames.

Going to a higher resolution can cause issues with the dot-grid calibration method, but we have a new camera tags-based calibration system for LightBurn 1.7 that will address this.
