Updated! The original Phantom v5.0 high speed digital imaging system was the firstcommercially available CMOS camera to offer rates of 1,000 pictures per second at 1024x1024 pixels. Now updated to v5.1, this system's full frame speed increases to 1,200pps , Gigabit Ethernet has been added, and using new components and construction methods, its size and weight have been slightly reduced. The v5.1 continues to use the original high-resolution sensor that this award winning system is famous for.

SR-CMOS technology

The v5.1's advanced SR-CMOS sensor developed by Vision Research, Inc. has been
designed exclusively for high speed use balancing sensitivity and resolution. On-chip circuitry provides true "snap shot" shutter capabilities, auto exposure, and pixel level Extreme Dynamic Range? (EDR) level control to extend picture quality in harsh lighting conditions. Unlike CCD sensors, CMOS will not bloom.

An important advantage of CMOS technology is the extremely low power requirements needed for operation. This results in a cooler running system, and has allowed us to pack the entire camera and image memory into a small, light weight, and very rugged housing. This makes the v5.1 an ideal choice for most test environments including those extreme conditions commonly experienced in military, automotive, airborne, and industrial applications.

1024×1024 pixel resolution

The v5.1 offers outstanding resolution using our square SR-CMOS 1024x1024 pixel
sensor. This sensor is also fast, supplying a full frame recording rate of 1,200 pictures per second. High recording rates and rapid shuttering times are of little use if the sensitivity of the sensor is poor, and v5.1 has proven that this sensor has the high sensitivity needed to take advantage of its speed capabilities.

1,200 full frame pps

The Phantom v5.1 offers a maximum recording speed of 1,200 pictures per second
using the sensor's full 1024x1024 pixel array. Frame rates are continuously variable from 30 to 1,200 pictures per second. Higher frame rates, up to 95,000pps, at reduced image sizes may also be selected using the Phantom camera control software.

Color or monochrome

The v5.1 is available in color or monochrome models. Although monochrome offers
the highest sensitivity and image resolution, this new large sensor (four times the area of our 512x512 v4.2 model) provides outstanding color results using our proprietary pixel level color filter array.

10 micro second exposure

Even when recording at 1,200 pictures per second, image blur can still be a problem with fast moving subjects without the aid of additional shuttering. The Phantom's SR-CMOS sensor allows continuously variable shutter speeds down to 10 micro seconds (1/100,000 second) with an option to 5 micro seconds. This shutter is a true "snap shot," or synchronous shutter. Other designs may offer "rolling" shutters that can distort high speed data results.

Speeds of up to 90,000pps

If your application involves extremely fast moving subjects, take advantage of the Phantom's capability for increased recording speeds. By reducing the image size, data from the sensor can be moved more rapidly resulting in higher speeds. This option can also be used to increase recording time at any frame rate. For example, the v5.1 can record at 3,800pps for 1 second using the central 512x512 pixels of the sensor using a camera equipped with the standard 1 gigabyte of image memory.

Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire, or RS232/422

High speed digital cameras generate big files fast! The Phantom software allows you to save an entire "ciné" image file or just small portions to an external computer or storage device. We have Added Gigabit Ethernet communications to the v5.1, in addition to the proven IEEE 1394 FireWire? I/O technology. FireWire data transfer is much faster than serial, parallel, or USB connections, and FireWire also features plug and play and hot swap capabilities. A single PC FireWire connection supports control of up to sixty-three v5.0 cameras.

Using optional Phantom Remote Control Units the v5.1 can also be operated from a remote location for applications requiring camera placement in hazardous or inaccessible locations. Our new Multi IOIOI unit acts as a junction box to simplify the setup and operation of up to four cameras, and they can be chained to further expand the network. The v5.1 can also be controlled with a Palm PDA. Our Phantom software insures v9.0 compatibility with all previous camera models from the v4.0 and up.

Software: setup, view, analyze

The Phantom software that is included with each camera provides the user with EDR controls to setup camera operating parameters while viewing the "live" image on the controlling computer's monitor or NTSC video monitor. Frame rate, shutter speed, and functions are set here before the shot.

The software also provides controls for recorded image playback directly from camera memory or archived image files. Image analysis functions are also included in this part of the software and feature measurement, speed, and angular data that can reviewed on site immediately after the test. This software may also be run on a desktop PC for additional analysis and data report generation, presentations, or training purposes at any time.

Single, multiple images, or whole ciné files can be enhanced using sharpen, lighten, darken, and gamma tools and then saved in your choice of several common, and not so common, image formats making the results of your test suitable for almost any electronic or print application.

The Phantom v5.1 is a natural choice for a high-speed system when rapid framing
rates and outstanding resolution are requirements for your special projects.
