Photron Introduces the World's Fastest, Mega Pixel High Speed Camera - Up to 1 Million Frames per Second
o Newest digital video camera provides a record-breaking 7,500 frames per second at 1,024 x1,000 pixel resolution
January 15, 2009 - San Diego, CA - Photron, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high speed cameras and motion analysis software systems, introduces the newest member of their high speed imaging systems, the Fastcam SA5. The ground-breaking camera is based on Photron's Emmy-award-winning high speed video camera technology and provides an unprecedented 7,500 frames per second (fps) at mega pixel resolution (1,024 x 1,000). The new camera features a 12-bit monochrome (36-bit RGB color) sensor with twenty micron square pixels, delivering superior color fidelity and dynamic range. The stand alone, one-piece system offers unmatched light sensitivity, ISO/ASA 6400 as tested against ISO 12232.
The new Fastcam SA5 with 1-microsecond global shuttering is available in three memory configurations: 8 GB (up to .75 seconds record time at 7,500 fps and full resolution); 16 GB (up to 1.49 seconds at 7500 fps and full resolution); 32GB (up to 2.98 seconds at 7,500 fps, 1K x 1K).
