FAS TCAM S A 6

HIGH-DEFINIFION HIGH-SPEED CAMERA SYSTEM

The FASTCAM SA6 has been developed to permit high definition recording Benefits
and detailed high speed analysis of large spatial areas in applications such
as automotive safety testing, fluid dynamics and solid mechanics. The Performance examples:
system provides 1920x1440 pixel image resolution at all frame rates up to • 1,125 fps at 1920x1440 pixel resolution
1,125fps, 1920x1080 full HD resolution at frame rates up to 1,500fps and • 1,500 fps at 1920x1080 pixel resolution
recording rates up to 75,000fps at reduced resolution. • 2,000 fps at 1280x1024 pixel resolution
• 3,000 fps at 1024x768 pixel resolution
The system utilizes a high performance CMOS image sensor to provide • 5,000 fps at 768x512 pixel resolution
excellent light sensitivity allowing high speed recordings to be made with
the minimum of additional lighting. The utilization of 12bit dynamic range Low noise, high quality imaging and superior color fidelity
output yields exceptional image quality and superior color fidelity.
Photron’s experience in the field of high quality broadcast imaging provides Composite and HD SDI video output for real time monitoring
during set-up, recording and playback
a stable camera operation and superior imaging performance.
Options to enhance system operation include remote keypad with
The camera may be controlled via the optional remote local keypad or over integrated viewfinder, integrated calibration shutter and
a Gigabit Ethernet network, and is fully compatible with the Photron J-BOX automated lens control options and Nikon G type lenses
for multiple camera installations. Integrated capping shutter to facilitate
automated calibration and automated lens control options further extend the GigaBit Ethernet interface and compatibility with Photron J-BOX
ease of system operation. The system is supplied with intuitive Photron for multiple camera installations
FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software and Photron Device Control SDK (software
development kit) allowing integration with user specific software.

Target applications include:

• Automotive safety testing • Fluid dynamics (PIV)

• Solid Mechanics (DIC) • Defense and aerospace research
