Chapter Summary

(Where to nd things in this manual)

Chapter 1, IL3 Product Overview

The rst chapter contains general informaon regarding the IL3 product family, common applicaons

for which the camera is used, and the basic guide to the component parts of the camera. Look here

for the names and locaons of all camera controls and indicators.

Chapter 2, Geng Started

This chapter guides the user through the camera setup process from unpacking the camera to

aaching, connecng, or installing the pieces necessary to begin using the camera: i.e. the power

supply and/or baery, lenses, mass memory devices, etc., as well as oponal devices such as triggers,

monitors, PCs, etc.

Chapter 3, Camera Setup

This chapter is about learning to use the IL3 user interface and seng the camera up for use,

including naming the camera and seng up the me. It also covers controls for the built-in LCD

display, connecng with an external display, and connecng the IL3 to a computer network.

Chapter 4, Recording with the IL3

Chapter 4 covers the recording process from seng up the recording parameters to Arming and

Triggering the camera. It also covers bit selecon, image processing and saving the imagery in its

dierent formats.

Chapter 5, Synchronizing Cameras

Cameras may be synchronized to external ming devices as well as to other cameras. This chapter

tells you how to do it on the IL3.

Chapter 6, IL3 Web-Applicaon

IL3 camera’s Web-Applicaon makes it easy to control the camera from virtually any device that can

aach to a network and run a standard internet browser. No need to load any soware! Chapter 6

walks you through the Web-App and how to control the camera, and capture and manage imagery

with it.

Appendices

Technical details are to be found in the appendices. These include a glossary of terms, camera and

sensor specicaons, lens FOV vs. resoluons tables, an index, connector schemacs, and back focus

adjustment procedures.

1 IL3 Product Overview

1-1 IL3 Product Descripon

The Fastec IL3 is a high-speed digital camera line with models capable of capturing high resoluon

1280 x 1024 pixel images at 500 frames per second and smaller-resoluon images at much higher

frame rates. Recording image data at high frame rates makes it possible to play back high quality

video sequences in slow moon, enabling the user a greatly enhanced ability to analyze events that

occur much too quickly for human vision to perceive.

The IL3, with its many modes of operaon, including its unique stand alone capabilies, and its high-

speed imaging performance, resoluon and sensivity, make it an excellent choice for many dierent

applicaons. For ad hoc tesng and troubleshoong, when setup me is precious, the IL3 comes

through as a point and shoot camera. For mul-camera use or where the camera might be set up and

le in more remote applicaons, its networking and master/slave capabilies come into play.

Fastec Imaging high-speed cameras are

used in hundreds of dierent industrial

manufacturing sites to analyze moon in

machinery and producon line processes.

Reduce jams, speed up line setup and

changeovers, lower scrap and rejected

material costs, and reduce downme and

maintenance expenses.

Hundreds of universies worldwide use

Fastec cameras for a variety of research

studies. Animal locomoon, mechanical

engineering, ow visualizaon, combuson

studies, biomechanics & kinesiology,

physics, chemistry, tensile tesng, and

more.

High-speed cameras are used to determine

the eects of blasts on structures or

vehicles or determine the actual ring

mes of blast holes and the nature of the

rock movement. Delay detonators provide

the ming blasts needed under specic

blasng condions. Blast holes ring at

incorrect mes reduce rock fragmentaon,

eect blast movement, and can increase

blast vibraons.

Military customers worldwide use high-speed video to design and test weapons, counter measure

and defensive systems and components. High-speed cameras are key for tesng projecles for

determining balliscs, detonics and fragmentaon characteriscs; in airborne stores separaon; and

in vehicle armor design tesng materials and survivability.
