GOING BEYOND ULTRA SPEED: THE PHANTOM v710: A MEGAPIXEL CAMERA CAPABLE OF TAKING 1 400 000 PICTURES PER SECOND

Helping the user
Built with user-convenience in mind, the Phantom v710 features *** remote/automatic black referencing, *** Versatile Dual HD-SDI outputs, *** a component viewfinder port, *** high-speed synchronization, *** range data input and *** Phantom CineMag® support.


Helping set up the action
The custom-designed CMOS 1280 x 800 sensor provides an aspect ratio that is 25% wider than conventional square cameras and allows the cinematographer to keep moving targets in-frame longer and see more of the event. The v710's wide aspect ratio also provides the unique ability to capture 1280 x 720 with a one-megapixel camera.

Helping shoot the action
Resolution: The v710 provides 7 500 frames-per-second at full megapixel resolution. Higher frame rates, up to 1 400 000 fps are possible by decreasing the resolution (optional).

Sensitivity: Unsurpassed sensitivity is possible with an active pixel size of 20 microns and with improved quantum efficiency. Even using Phantom's sub-microsecond shuttering, the user is able to obtain the highest sensitivity with the lowest noise possible.

Eliminating blur: Phantom's optional sub-microsecond shuttering eliminates blur and so vastly improves image clarity. Sub-microsecond shuttering is programmable in 18 ns increments, down to 300 nanoseconds.

Pixel depth: The v710 supports 8- and 12-bit pixel depth. Smaller bit-depth provides more recording time and smaller files while greater bit-depth results in more gray levels and finer details.

EDR: The Extreme Dynamic Range feature is the tool that allows two different exposures within a single frame. Changing lighting conditions are catered to by the v710's auto exposure.

Internal shutter: Manually closing the sensor with a lens cap is a thing of the past when using the Phantom v710 as the camera's internal shutter automatically shades the sensor when performing a CSR.

Timing: The v710's high-resolution timing system yields a timing resolution of better than 20 ns.

Triggering: The trigger signal can be an external TTL pulse (hardware produced), contact closure or open, or via command (software produced).

Continuous recording: The Continuous Recording feature can be used to capture automatically, trigger, edit, and save image data into any fixed, removable or networked drive accessible from the Phantom camera’s control unit then return to recording mode waiting for the next trigger signal with no operator intervention.


Helping store the action
The combination of 8 GB high-speed dynamic RAM (16 GB or 32 GB optional) and segmented memory allows the division of memory into 64 segments meaning that multiple shots can be taken back-to-back without needing to download from the camera.

Alternatively, recording can be made directly to the Phantom CineMag (see above image). CineMag, a non-volatile, hot-swappable memory magazine fits snuggly on the camera and is an optional accessory.
