This new generation of the popular FASTCAM Mini series with a proprietary 4K/ UHD 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 for this product.
With the FASTCAM MINI R-4K cameras, users can enjoy 12-bit image recording rates of up to 750fps (MINI R3-4K) and 1,250fps (MINI R5-4K) at 4K resolution, with impressive shutter speeds that go as low as 2µs. For even higher frame rates, the camera offers recording rates of up to 150,000fps (MINI R3-4K) 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 – truly setting it apart from other cameras in its class.
Key features of the FASTCAM MINI R-4K include an internal mechanical shutter that allows for remote system calibration, a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface for seamless camera control and fast image download, memory segmentation that enables recording into one memory partition while downloading from another, and compatibility with various industry-standard lens formats such as Nikon G-Type, C-mount, and Canon EF lenses.
Additionally, the design of the FASTCAM MINI R-4K boasts a “sealed body” construction to safeguard sensitive electronics against dust and corrosive particles. This ensures optimal performance and longevity for the camera.
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.
In conclusion, the FASTCAM MINI R5-4K camera is unrivaled in its flexibility and versatility due to its advanced technology and intelligent design. It delivers exceptional light sensitivity, image quality, and functionality across diverse applications.
