Photron FASTCAM-Ultima APX with Mega-pixel CMOS Sensor

Photron APX: the new standard in speed,sensitivity and versatility

The Photron APX sets new standards for high-speed imaging by offering a completely new and highly light-sensitive mega-pixel CMOS sensor. With over one million enormous 17.5µm pixels, the Photron APXenjoys a receptivity to light that until now only older, lower resolution CCD sensor technologies could achieve. This feature makes it ideal for lower-light applications or those that required expensive, hot lighting setups.The APX's sensitivity to light enables fast shutter speeds that prevent motion blur.

In addition to the ability to function under lower lighting conditions at very high speeds, the APX retains all the benefits long associated with Photron's existing CMOS cameras, including exceptional anti-blooming, an easy-to-operate approach and mega-pixel resolution.The APX provides full resolution up to 2,000 frames per second (fps), and reduced resolution all the way up to a phenomenal 100,000 fps.

The APX comes standard with a 20-foot (6m) cable or with the optional 52-foot (16m) camera cable, or as a single-piece unit with the camera and processor combined into one compact housing.

Each APX is supplied with full control and image download software for those who prefer to operate multiple cameras via PC as well as an intuitive handheld control unit for easy operation where a computer is not required.

Features:

• Full, 1,024 by 1,024 pixel resolution, up to 2,000 frames per second (fps)
  
  
• 10-bit monochrome, 30-bit color CMOS sensor with large pixels for increased sensitivity
  
  
• Recording at frame rates up to 100,000 fps
  
  
• Global electronic shutter to 4µs
  
  
• Memory segment feature - enables 64 different recordings to be made in one session
  
  
• IRIG or GPS timing is recorded in real time on every frame - not appended later
  
  
• Lightweight tethered camera head enables easy access to hazardous or hard to reach locations
  
  
• Camera can be controlled via Photron Gigabit Optical Network, Ethernet, FireWire and Keypad
  
  
• Image memory can be expanded to 8 Gigabytes to facilitate 3 second record duration at maximum resolution and 2,000 fps or 6 seconds at 1,000 fps
