Photron introduces the breakthrough Fastcam SA-1 camera featuring 5000 full megapixel resolution frames per second and a maximum speed at reduced resolution of 150,000fps
Photron's revolutionary CMOS sensor technology has resulted in a new, unprecedented high speed benchmark for slow motion video imaging with true 12-bit resolution and two-microsecond global shuttering.
Light sensitivity and colour fidelity are said to be superior even to Photron's Emmy award-winning Ultima APX and best selling Ultima APX-RS cameras.
The new camera's unsurpassed ease of operation permits expert high speed imaging of extremely fast-moving objects with minimal or no operator training.
Photron's advanced camera design offers two memory configurations to choose from, including 8GB featuring six seconds at 1000 full frames per second (fps), and 16 GB with 12 seconds at 1000 full fps.
The high speed imager has a maximum speed at reduced resolution of 150,000fps.
Photron's new mega pixel Fastcam SA-1 supports IRIG/GPS inputs to meet precision time stamping and synchronisation requirements.
Full control via gigabit ethernet or remote control via the accompanying keypad with built-in LCD display offers great flexibility in high speed imaging tasks.
Lightweight and compact, the Fastcam SA-1 is DC-operated with SDI and RS-170 video outputs.
An optional particle image velocimetry (PIV) facility is available to study the flow of gas in a wind-tunnel environment or to analyse flow in fluids.
Other applications for this extremely high speed imaging system include missile and ballistics testing, R+D, vehicle impact analysis, sports and entertainment, industrial motion analysis and biomedical imaging.
