1-Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor: 1280 x 1024 pixels at 4,800fps 1080 x 800 pixels at 6,000fps Maximum Frame Rate: 750,000fps (Multi type 750K) 200,000fps (Multi type 200K) Dual head high-speed camera system with long recording time option Global Electronic Shutter: Minimum shutter speed 3.9μs independent of frame rate (Multi type 750K only:to 1μs dependent on frame rate selection) Internal Recording Memory: 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB per channel The FASTCAM Multi is a unique high-speed camera system supporting one or two camera heads providing 1.3Mpixel resolution at 5,000fps - a mix of monochrome and color camera head types may be fitted. Coupling of the camera heads to the system processor is via innovative 10m hybrid fibre optic cables; these cables are less susceptible to electrical noise and high magnetic fields and special bulkhead connectors permit mounting of the camera or processor within an enclosed space. Up to 5 cables may be linked to extend the operating distance to a total of 50 metres. The compact and lightweight heads are sealed for operation in locations where high levels of dust or particle contaminants may be present and the implementation of Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens technology supports remote lens control via Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software of not only aperture and focus but also zoom. Precise synchronization of images acquired by the two camera heads is managed by the FASTCAM Multi processor including incorporation of two channels of analogue data acquisition for sampling of external data from a range of sensors such as accelerometers, strain gauges or voltage probes etc. The processor design also ensures that images are held securely in the event that either one of the camera heads is destroyed or a cable is cut during recording. As an option, the processor may be fitted with an interface for the Photron FASTDrive SSD disk packs. With a capacity of 2TB storage for each camera head it is possible to capture 20 minutes of uncompressed data with 1Mpixel resolution at 1,000fps. The FASTCAM Multi may also be configured to automatically download to this storage via the remote keypad for PC-less operation. The proprietary CMOS sensor technology utilized in the FASTCAM Multi delivers high light sensitivity (ISO 10,000 mono, ISO 5,000 color excl. IR response) and thanks to the small (10μm) pixel pitch of the FASTCAM Multi’s 12-bit sensor, the camera is capable of utilizing 1″ C-mount lenses without vignetting. PC-less operation via the optional remote keypad and HDMI or HDSDI video output round off a distinctive set of features that make the FASTCAM Multi well-suited for many different applications including microscopy, detonation and explosives testing, off board automotive safety testing and more. FASTDrive (option): 2TB SSD disk packs for long time record function or PC-less operation Built in DAQ: Integrated 2 channel DAQ 2Msps (Mega samples per second) Compact and Lightweight Camera Heads: 70mm (H) x 69mm (W) x 151.4mm (D) 2.76” (H) x 2.72” (W) x 5.96” (D) Weight: 0.98Kg

Image Sensor Technical Data 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 Multi Monochrome models Color models 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 Multi are supplied without an IR absorbing filter,...

Operation Features Camera Operation Features Frame Synchronization Accurate frame synchronization with other cameras and with external and unstable frequencies. 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 in ambient lighting. IRIG Phase Lock Enables multiple cameras to be synchronized together with other instrumentation equipment to a master external...

Operation Features Continued External Frame Synchronization: The FASTCAM Multi can be fully synchronized with an external event to allow the timing of when each individual image is captured to be precisely referenced. The camera can be accurately synchronized to unstable frequencies allowing complex events such as combustion in rapidly accelerating or decelerating engines to be recorded and studied. Record During Download Operation: FASTCAM Multi recording memory can be divided into multiple active sections. The user can record an on-going event in one memory partition while at the same...
