FASTCAM Mini series high speed camera with a proprietary 4K/UHD (4096×2304 pixel) sensor is ideally suited for applications where observation of a large spatial area without loss of image quality is required. Applications such as automotive safety testing (car-to-car, pedestrian testing, barrier/ roll-over testing and curtain airbag), fluid dynamics (PIV, microfluidics) material testing (DIC, drop testing) are some of the main applications. The FASTCAM MINI R-4K cameras offers 12-bit image recording rates of up to 750fps (MINI R5-4K) and 1,250fps (MINI R5-4K) at 4K resolution. For even higher frame rates, the camera offers recording rates of up to 150,000fps (MINI R5-4K) and 200,000fps (MINI R5-4K) at lower image resolutions.
The FASTCAM MINI R-4K cameras are compact, rugged, lightweight, and provides the best light sensitivity and image quality in their class. Key features of the FASTCAM MINI R-4K include an internal mechanical shutter that allows for remote system calibration, High G rated body and a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Intuitive and feature rich Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software is included with each FASTCAM MINI 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 environment.
