Preliminary Datasheet FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K 9.4-megapixel CMOS Image Sensor: 4096 x 2304 pixels (4K) at 750fps (NOVA R3-4K) 4096 x 2304 pixels (4K) at 1,250fps (NOVA R5-4K) 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD) at 800fps (NOVA R3-4K) 3840 x 2160 pixels (UHD) at 1,440fps (NOVA R5-4K) Maximum Frame Rate: 150,000fps (NOVA R3-4K) 200,000fps (NOVA R5-4K) Class Leading Light Sensitivity: ISO 3,200 monochrome ISO 640 color Global Electronic Shutter: 2µs independent of frame rate Dynamic Range (ADC): 12-bit monochrome 36-bit color Compact and Lightweight: 120mm (H) x 120mm (W) x 223.2mm (D) 4.72” (H) x 4.72” (W) x 8.78” (D) Weight: 3.5kg (7.7 lbs.) Internal Recording Memory: 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB Optional FASTDrive Removable High Capacity Data Storage: 4TB High-speed Solid State Drive Fast 10-Gigabit Ethernet Interface: Provides camera control and high-speed image download to standard PC Fan Stop Function: Remotely switch off cooling fans to eliminate vibration when recording at high magnifications Two Compact and versatile high performance camera systems with 4k-UHD Image Resolution FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K and R5-4K cameras bring 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. Two performance level models - FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K and R5-4K - the cameras deliver 12-bit image recording rates up to 750fps and 1,250fps respectively at 4K image resolution and 800fps and 1,440fps respectively at UHD image resolution, with shutter speeds to 2µs. Recording rates to 200,000fps are available at reduced image resolutions for the FASTCAM NOVA R5-4K. All of this is available from two rugged, compact, and lightweight cameras that provide the best light sensitivity and image quality in their class. Standard features of FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras 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. FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras also feature 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 R3-4K / R5-4K 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 en

Image Sensor Technical Data Light Sensitivity: Sensor Type FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K Monochrome models Color models Image Sensor: FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras use an advanced CMOS image sensor optimized for light sensitivity and high image quality that is unique to Photron. A 6.5-micron pixel pitch gives a sensor size at full image resolution of 26.62 x 14.98mm (diagonal 30.55mm). Lenses designed for both FX (35mm full frame) and also Nikon DX (digital SLR) formats are compatible with the FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K at UHD-4K resolution.

Operational Features Camera Operation Features Frame Synchronization Accurate frame synchronization with other cameras and with external and unstable frequencies. Memory Partitions Operation at minimum frame rate with separately adjustable shutter time to allow easy camera set-up and focus in ambient lighting. Video Output 1080p live and playback via HD-SDI output IRIG Phase Lock Enables multiple cameras to be synchronized together with other instrumentation equipment or to a master external time source. Internal Time Delay Generator Allows programmable delays to be set on input and output...

Frame Rate / Image Resolution * Specifications subject to change without notice. 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 R3-4K / R5-4K cameras allow the ROI to be set in increments of 128 pixels horizontal and 8 pixels vertical. External Frame Synchronization: FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras can be fully synchronized with an external source to allow the timing...
