FAS TCAM S A 6

HIGH-DEFINITION HIGH-SPEED CAMERA SYSTEM

The FASTCAM SA6 has been developed to permit high definition recording
and detailed high speed analysis of large spatial areas in applications such
as automotive safety testing, fluid dynamics and solid mechanics. The
system provides 1920x1440 pixel image resolution at all frame rates up to
1,125fps, 1920x1080 full HD resolution at frame rates up to 1,500fps and
recording rates up to 75,000fps at reduced resolution.
The system utilizes a high performance CMOS image sensor to provide
excellent light sensitivity allowing high speed recordings to be made with
the minimum of additional lighting. The utilization of 12bit dynamic range
output yields exceptional image quality and superior color fidelity.
Photron’s experience in the field of high quality broadcast imaging provides
a stable camera operation and superior imaging performance.
The camera may be controlled via the optional remote local keypad or over
a Gigabit Ethernet network, and is fully compatible with the Photron J-BOX
for multiple camera installations. Integrated capping shutter to facilitate
automated calibration and automated lens control options further extend the
ease of system operation. The system is supplied with intuitive Photron
FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software and Photron Device Control SDK (software
development kit) allowing integration with user specific software.

Target applications include:

• Automotive safety testing
• Solid Mechanics (DIC)

• Fluid dynamics (PIV)
• Defense and aerospace research
