Photron, a global manufacturer of high-speed cameras and software for slow motion analysis, announces the new 32 GB-memory option for the Fastcam Mini AX, Fastcam Mini UX and Fastcam Mini WX high-speed camera systems.
The new memory option is doubled at 32 GB; other memory options still available are 4 GB, 8 GB and 16 GB. Photron’s recently introduced product families are also known for light sensitivity. The Mini AX family provides genuine ISO 40000 (mono) and ISO 16000 (color), as measured to the industry’s true ISO Ssat 12232 standard, with the IR filter retained as per ISO 12232, not removed to produce fictitious ‘T’ values. The camera systems have high-performance Gigabit Ethernet interfaces so users can view and analyze slow motion video data from their desktop or laptop PC.
With the new memory option of 32 GB, Photron’s Fastcam Mini cameras are designed for high-frame-rate imaging applications such as onboard and off-board automotive safety testing, biomechanics, material sciences, military/aerospace research, fluid dynamics such as PIV, life sciences and critical laboratory research. The Fastcam Mini camera systems are also designed for high-G, high-shock environments, tested to 100 G, 10 ms, 6 axes.
The light sensitivity featured in Photron’s Fastcam Mini camera systems enables the video capture of extremely high speed events, without the need for additional and often expensive and high-temperature-generating lighting packages. The light sensitivity also enables faster frame rates, shorter shutter speeds, and/or greater depths of field, under the same lighting conditions, to be used without added illumination.
