Photron will demonstrate its Fastcam SA5 Camera with up to one million frames per second at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, to be held 18-23 April 2009.
The Fastcam SA5 Camera features 7,500 frames per second at megapixel resolution (1,024 x 1,000).
Photron's new CMOS sensor delivers reduced resolution at a speed of more than one million frames a second.
It features a 12-bit monochrome, 36-bit RGB colour sensor with 20 micron square pixels for superior dynamic range and colour fidelity.
Other cameras at Photron's NAB booth will include the Fastcam SA1, the high-speed imager used to capture slow motion footage seen on the Discovery Channel's Time Warp TV Show (which shows popcorn popping at 10,000 fps and a water balloon bursting at 20,000 fps).
The SA1 was also used during the 2008 Beijing Olympics to capture high-speed sporting events and to deliver instant slow-motion playback.
The high performance, four megapixel high-speed Fastcam SA2 provides high definition 1080p resolution up to 2000 fps.
The HDTV camera offers exceptional light sensitivity and can be easily integrated into new or existing systems.
The 12-bit CMOS sensor, available with B4 or PL lens mounts, is ideal for slow-motion replay, making it perfect for a variety of broadcast applications, such as sports and entertainment.
