Vision Research has announced the release of two new high speed digital cameras under their imaging solutions lineup with the release of the Phantom v710 and v210. These new cameras are CMOS based, and car record up to 1.4 million frames per second. These new cameras are competitively priced to cater to the budget-constrained needs that most companies have to deal with today.

Phantom v710

• Breakthrough sensitivity: increased peak quantum efficiency and reduction in noise-equivalent power
• Active pixel size of 20 microns
• Sub-microsecond shuttering: down to 300 nanoseconds, programmable in 18 nanosecond increments
• High-resolution timing: better than 20 nanosecond resolution
• Precise frame synchronization: BNC cable provides synchronization signal and increased signal integrity
• Range Data input
• 500 nanosecond straddle time and no image lag: ideal for particle image velocimetry (PIV) applications
• Extreme Dynamic Range (EDR): two exposures within a single frame
• 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of high-performance built-in dynamic RAM
• Phantom CineMag and CineStation support

The Phantom v210

• Active pixel size of 20 microns
• Two microsecond global electronic shutter to help reduce motion blur
• Phantom CineMag and CineStation support
• Internal mechanical shutter for remote CSR (optional)
• Twin HD-SDI outputs
• High-resolution timing system
• Precise frame synchronization: BNC cable provides synchronization signal and increased signal integrity
• 8GB, 16GB or 32GB of high-performance built-in dynamic RAM
• Extreme Dynamic Range (EDR): two exposures within a single frame

The Phantom v710 and v210 are available with either a color or monochrome CMOS sensor, supporting both 8- and 12-bit pixel depths. The color CMOS sensor is rated at ISO (ISO-12232 SAT) 1,600 and the monochrome CMOS sensor is rated at ISO 6,400.
