We are working on the development of a high-speed x-ray beam profile monitor for high-resolution and fast response for beam profile measurements to be used at CesrTA and SuperKEKB*. The optics for the monitor are based on a technique borrowed from x-ray astronomy, coded-aperture imaging, which should permit broad-spectrum, low-distortion measurements to maximize the observable photon flux per bunch. Coupled with a high-speed digitizer system, the goal is to make turn-by-turn, bunch-by-bunch beam profile measurements. Following initial tests with a low-resolution mask at large beam sizes (vertical size ~200 um), a high-resolution mask has been made for use with low-emittance beams (vertical size ~10 um) at CesrTA. The first performance results of the high-resolution mask on the low-emittance CesrTA beam are presented.
