Hello,
I happen to be testing out a Basler IMX 183 mono camera with USB. Downgraded to Pylon 6.1 to make sharpcap work.
However, I still can't get > 20 fps even using region of interest. (The pylon viewer can't either, so far as I've tried)
Is there some setting I'm missing? Or is this a hardware limitation of this camera?

Re: Basler camera max fps with ROI
Hi,
the first thing to check is the obvious - have you got the exposure set to 50ms by any chance? At 50ms exposures, you cannot get more than 20 frames per second simply because there isn't time.
Beyond that, I'm not familiar with the Basler 183 camera, but I know that with other brands with the same sensor on USB, you can get higher frame rates, particularly with ROI set. Note that it is typically the ROI height that affects the frame rate, not the width.
Finally, if you try the SharpCap 4.1 beta (see the beta testing forum), you can use the latest version of Pylon, which might help.
cheers,
Robin

Hi,
thanks for posting this bug report - I will dig into it and see what I need to do to fix the issues. One of the difficulty with Basler cameras is that there are a wide range of cameras and it is difficult to be sure in advance which controls will always be available and which are only available on some models of camera. Since I have only one model to test with, it requires a certain amount of trial and error (and end user bug reports) before I find and fix all the glitches like this.
cheers,
Robin
