12 Jul 2007 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 color fidelity are 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 6 seconds at 1,000 full frames per second (fps), and 16 GB with 12 seconds at 1,000 full fps. The high speed imager has a maximum speed at reduced resolution of 150,000 fps. Photron’s new mega pixel Fastcam SA-1 supports IRIG/GPS inputs to meet precision time stamping and synchronization 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 analyze 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.
