Offering an unprecdedneted
degree of flexibility in all areas of high-speed image capture supporting
4-megapixel imaging when the highest resolution is required
Offering two user-selectable shooting modes, each adapted to a particular
shooting environment, depending on the shooting mode and resolution, the
Flex is capable of shooting from 5 fps to over 10,750 frames-per-second
In Standard Mode, the Phantom Flex shoots at resolutions up to 2560x1600
pixels at anywhere from 10 frames-per-second up to 1,455 frames-per-second
(fps). Maximum speed increases as the resolution decreases – up
to 2,570 fps at 1920x1080, 5,350 fps at 1280x720, and 10,750 fps at 640x480.
In Phantom HQ Mode, Vision Research's proprietary image enhancement technology
results in electronic image stability unprecedented in digital high-speed
cameras: stable blacks, low noise, higher dynamic range, and repeatable
shots over the full range of supported resolutions, frame rates and temperatures
without the need for pre-shot black references. Maximum frame rates in
HQ mode are about half those in Standard mode, which means that in HQ
Mode Flex captures images at speeds up to 1,275 fps at 1920x1080 or 2,640
fps at 1280x720.
The Phantom Flex supports multiple workflows: a raw digital workflow,
a video workflow, or combination of both for maximum control and flexibility.
With a video workflow, the Flex offers a video signal on the dual-link
HD-SDI ports independent of the camera resolution. Set the resolution
to 2560x1440 (16:9), and the camera will automatically scale the oversampled
image when rendering the video signal. This technique increases the dynamic
range and decreases noise in the video signal.
The Phantom Flex accepts a wide range of industry standard lenses. 35mm
(PL, Canon EOS, Nikon F Panavision), Super16m and 2/3" lenses are
all compatible.
