Model WX50 / WX100 4-Megapixel CMOS Sensor: Mini WX50 2048 x 2048 pixels at 750fps 1920 x 1080 pixels at 1,500fps Mini WX100 2048 x 2048 pixels at 1,080fps 1920 x 1080 pixels at 2,000fps Maximum Frame Rate: 67,500fps (Mini WX50 type 67.5K) 80,000fps (Mini WX100 type 80K) Compact high-speed camera with high image resolution The FASTCAM Mini WX100 high-speed camera delivers exceptional high resolution imaging performance by providing 2048 x 2048 pixel resolution at 1,080fps (Mini WX50 750fps), 1920 x 1080 pixel full HD resolution at 2,000fps (Mini WX50 1,500fps) and frame rates up to 80,000fps (Mini WX50 67,500fps) at reduced image resolution. The system’s flexible Region of Interest (ROI) capability allows the user to choose an image aspect ratio appropriate for the subject being recorded. The FASTCAM Mini WX is compact, lightweight and also rugged (operationally tested to 100G, 10ms, 6-axes). This unique combination of high resolution imaging performance in a compact, lightweight and rugged package makes the system well suited to a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. It is ideally suited for biomechanics, microscopy, automotive safety testing and defense applications. The FASTCAM Mini WX utilizes Photron’s proprietary CMOS image sensor design expertise, including on-chip microlens technology to optimize light sensitivity. The camera provides broadcast quality high definition image resolution, color fidelity and dynamic range. Recording memory options from 8GB to 32GB permit the capture of over 10 seconds of uncompressed and un-interpolated data at 1,000fps with full HD image resolution. Standard operational features of the FASTCAM Mini WX include a mechanical shutter to allow remote system calibration, Gigabit Ethernet Interface for reliable system control with high-speed data transfer to PC, and the ability to switch off cooling fans to eliminate vibration when recording at high magnifications.

Light Sensitivity: Expressions of light sensitivity in high-speed cameras can be confusing as a variety of differing measurement techniques are used. Photron publishes light sensitivity figures for its products using the ISO 12232 Ssat Standard. FASTCAM MINI WX ISO 12232 Ssat Monochrome models ISO 6,400 Color models ISO 2,000 ISO 12232 Ssat values published by Photron for both monochrome and color cameras are measured excluding infrared sensitivity as defined by the ISO standard measurement procedure ISO 14524. Monochrome sensors used in the FASTCAM Mini WX cameras are supplied...

Operation Features Camera Operation Features Frame Synchronization Accurate frame synchronization with other cameras and with external and unstable frequencies. Dual Slope Shutter (Extended Dynamic Range) Selectable in 20 steps (0 to 95% in 5% increments) to prevent pixel overexposure without post processing. Memory Partitions Up to 64 memory segments allow multiple events to be stored in camera memory before downloading, with automatic progression to the next available partition. Operation at minimum frame rate with separately adjustable shutter time to allow easy camera set-up and focus...

Variable Region of Interest: Region of Interest (ROI) or sub-windowing allows a user-specified portion of the sensor to be defined to capture images. By using a reduced portion of the image area, the frame rate at which images are recorded can be increased. FASTCAM Mini WX allows the ROI to be set in increments of 256 pixels horizontal and 32 pixels vertical. Square Image Sensor Format: Unlike broadcast and media applications where image formats such as 16:9 have now become standard, in scientific and industrial imaging applications an image sensor with a 1:1 image format is generally...
