FASTCAM NOVA R2 4-Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor: 2048 x 2048 pixels at 1,440fps 1920 x 1080 pixels at 2,560fps Maximum Frame Rate: 100,000fps (Nova R2 type 100K) Class Leading Light Sensitivity: ISO 8,000 monochrome ISO 2,500 color Global Electronic Shutter: 1ms to 2.7µs independent of frame rate Compact and versatile high performance camera system with high image resolution The FASTCAM NOVA R2 brings together unique CMOS image sensor technologies and extensive high-speed digital imaging expertise to provide a camera with the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of applications. The FASTCAM NOVA R2 offers 12-bit image recording rates up to 1,440 frames per second (fps) at 4-megapixel image resolution, and shutter speeds to 2.7µs. Recording rates to 100,000fps are available at reduced image resolutions. All of this available from a camera that is rugged, compact, lightweight and provides the best light sensitivity in its class. Standard features of the FASTCAM NOVA R2 include an internal mechanical shutter to allow remote system calibration, a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface for camera control and high-speed image download, memory segmentation that allows recording into one memory partition while downloading from another, and compatibility with a number of industry standard lens formats to allow the use of Nikon G-Type, C-mount and Canon EF lenses. The FASTCAM NOVA R2 also features a “sealed body” design that prevents dust and corrosive particles from contaminating sensitive electronics. An optional FASTDrive SSD can be used for the download of images at up to 1GB per second. Intuitive and feature rich Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software is included with each FASTCAM NOVA R2 camera. Also included is a Photron Device Control SDK that allows integration of the camera with user-specific software, and libraries for controlling the camera within a MATLAB® or LabView environment.

Operational 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 128 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...

Frame Rate / Image Resolution Frame Rate 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 NOVA R2 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...
