SR-CMOS technology

The new Phantom v6.0 Multi-head high speed digital imaging system employs the same advanced SR-CMOS sensor that has made our v4.x series cameras popular worldwide. No-bloom recording rates of 1,000 pictures per second at a full frame resolution of 512x512 pixels is nowpossible using up to four miniature remote heads controlled byone compact and lightweight camera control unit.

The easily mounted v6.0 components, packaged in small and rugged enclosures, supply perfectly matched trigger synchronization making this system an ideal choice for automotive crash testing and critical 3D applications.

512×512 pixel resolution

Expect outstanding resolution and image quality from the v6.0. Each head's 512x512 CMOS sensor provides a total pixel count that rivals or exceeds many larger single head systems, some of which continue to rely on older CCD technology. Our square pixel APS (Active Pixel Sensor) technology has been designed exclusively for high speed applications and produces high framing rates with excellent sensitivity.

1000 full frame pps

The Phantom v6.0 offers a maximum recording speed of 1,000 pictures per second,
per head, using each sensor's full 512x512 pixel array. Frame rates are continuously variable from 30 to 1,000 pictures per second. Selections for higher rates at reduced image sizes are available using the Phantom camera control software.

Color or monochrome

Our v6.0 is available in color (24 bit) or monochrome (8 bit) models. Monochrome v4.1 heads offer the highest sensitivity and image resolution, but many times color is an important application requirement and our proprietary pixel level RGB striping offers outstanding high speed color images (sample images are available on our Phantom page linked at the bottom of this page).

10 micro second exposure

Even at 1,000 pictures per second, some subjects are moving fast enough to cause image blur without the help of additional shuttering. The Phantom's SR-CMOS sensor allows us to offer continuously variable shutter speeds down to 10 micro seconds (1/100,000 second), with an optional speed of 5 micro seconds. This design provides true "snap shot" or "global" shuttering. Other systems may offer "rolling" shutters that can distort high speed data results.

Speeds of up to 32,000pps

Take advantage of the Phantom's capability for increased recording speeds by simply reducing the image size. When reduced image sizes are used, often accomplished by reducing unneeded areas at the top, bottom, or sides of important subject information, data can be moved more rapidly within the camera resulting in higher recording speeds. This option can also be used to increase recording time at any frame rate (a chart is available on our Phantom v4.1 page linked at the bottom of this page).

Firewire Data Transfer

All of the Phantom camera functions can be controlled using a laptop or desktop IBM compatible computer meeting our minimum system requirements. This PC is normally used to control camera setup, perform image playback and analysis functions, and saving of recorded images via a IEEE 1394 "FireWire?" connection.

High speed digital cameras generate big files fast! The Phantom software allows you to save entire "ciné" image files or just small portions of them to an external computer or storage device. We have speeded this process by incorporating IEEE 1394 FireWire? I/O technology into the v6.0 design. FireWire data transfer is much faster than serial, parallel, or USB connections, and also features plug and play with hot swap capabilities. A single PC FireWire connection supports control of up to sixty- three v6.0 cameras. Linking miltiple cameras using our new Multi IOIOI junction unit speeds setup and simplifies the transfer of image files.

For applications that require camera placement in hazardous areas or locations be inaccessible during testing, extending distance between the camera and control can accomplished using our Phantom Remote Control options.

The main multi-connector "breakout" cable supplies connections for basic camera
operation and additional features that include: 1) trigger 2) sync in 3) strobe sync 4) IRIG-B timing 4) NTSC/PAL video out. For basic imaging, after the camera setup is completed, the PC can be disconnected and only power and trigger connections are required for use, a handy feature for moving platform or field applications.

Software: setup, view, analyze

The Phantom software that is included with the v6.0 provides the user with controls to setup camera operating parameters while viewing live images from each camera on the controlling computer's monitor, or a standard RS170 video monitor. Frame rate, shutter speed, and EDR functions are set here for the connected cameras before the shot.

The software also provides controls for multiple head recorded image playback that can reviewed on site immediately after the test directly from camera memory. Image analysis functions are also included in the software which feature measurement, speed, and angular data collection. Additional analysis and data report generation from archived files for use in presentations, training, or publication can be performed post- test 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.
