Phantom Ultrahigh-speed cameras Manual
2
cameras, increases frame rates to 800,000 fps for the
Phantom v1211 and 1,000,000 fps for the Phantom
Phantom v1611, v2011, and v2511 camera models.
High throughput is important. At any given resolution,
a camera with the highest throughput will provide the
fastest possible frame rates.
The Phantom v1211, v1611, v2011, and v2511 cameras
can be equipped with 24GB, 48GB or 96GB of high-speed
memory. A camera with 96GB of memory, recording at
10,000 fps at 1280 x 800 can record a single high-speed
shot (called a cine) for up to 6.2 seconds.
The Phantom v1211, v1611, v2011, and v2511 cam-
eras are also compatible with Phantom CineMag II long
recording devices available in 128GB, 144 GB, 256GB,
and 512GB capacities.
The Phantom v1211, v1611, v2011, and v2511 cameras
can securely save a 96 GB cine to an attached Phantom
CineMag II in about 1.5 minutes. (Phantom CineMag II
throughput is 1GB/s for these cameras).
The Phantom v1211, v1611, v2011, and v2511 use a
proprietary CMOS sensor designed by Vision Research
and are available in monochrome or color versions.
Their 28 micron (μm) pixels result in very high light
sensitivity. Measured using the ISO 12232 SAT
method, monochrome cameras have a sensitivity
of ISO 100,000T;32,000D and the color cameras
ISO 10,000T; 6,400D.
Each pixel has a bit-depth of 12-bits yielding 4,096 gray
levels with high dynamic range.
Sensor resolution is 1280 x 800 pixels “wide-screen”
format. The rectangular shape of the 1 Mpx sensor allows
the user to keep moving objects in the frame longer and is
compatible in aspect ratio with modern display technology.
The physical size of the sensor is 35.8mm x 22.4mm
(42.27mm diagonal).
