Capturing high-resolution images at high speeds with a host of unique features

Flexible acquisition speeds and capabilities
Designed with versatility and flexibility at the forefront, the widescreen CMOS sensor can acquire and save up to 16 gigapixels-per-second of data. At its full resolution 1280 x 800 pixels, the V1610 boasts frame rates of 16,000 frames-per-second. At reduced resolutions, the standard v1610 offers frame rates of up to 650,000 fps. Further underscoring its versatility, the camera can be ordered with the unique FAST option (export controlled), which enables frame rates up to 1,000,000 fps. The camera has a global electronic shutter capable of exposures as fast as 1 µs on a standard camera, or, 500 ns with the FAST option, to truly “freeze motion” and eliminate motion blur in the most demanding of applications.

CMOS sensor
Vision Research's proprietary, custom-designed sensor has large 28 micron pixels, ensuring superb light-sensitivity which is essential in high-speed imaging. Standard 12-bit depth per pixel yields high dynamic range and provides excellent image quality. The rectangular shape of the 1 Mpx sensor allows the user to keep moving objects in the frame longer and is compatible in aspect ratio with modern display technology.

Versatile connections
The v1610 has common signal connections conveniently located on its back panel. Connections include timecode, dual power inputs fr battery backup, 2x HD-SDI outputs, a GPS input, frame synchronization, and trigger. The two HD-SDI ports can be configured in several ways acting as identical 4:2:2 HD-SDI ports where one port can be set up to provide an (optional) on-screen display for monitoring the on-camera controls and camera operation. They can also be configured as a single 4:4:4 Dual-Link HD-SDI port.

Recording times and image storage
At high speeds, memory will become a limitation to recording duration. The v1610 can be equipped with 24GB, 48GB or 96GB of high-speed internal memory. Once captured to memory cines are offloaded or can be stored to the optional Cinemag flash drive that clips to the body of the v1610. Cine-save times are minimised by offloading cines to a Phantom CineMag flash drive. This feature allows the saving of any shot from high-speed RAM to a Cinemag in seconds - a 96 GB cine on a v1610 can be saved to Cienmag in about 1.5 minutes to sensure it is securely stored in non-volatile memory before capturing the next high speed cine. The contents of a CineMag can later be viewed on a PC, trimmed, played to video, and saved either by downloading from the Cinemag while connected to the camera, or by unclipping the Cinemag from the camera and clipping it onto the Phantom CineStation – a simple CineMag reader that connects to your PC with Gb or 10Gb Ethernet.

Deployment
The Phantom V1610 is an excellent tool for researchers, scientists and engineers who need to capture high-resolution images at ultra-high speeds. It offers a window to view events previously too fast to see and analyse
