Photron Fastcam SA3-60K
Low Cost High-G Work Horse
The Fastcam SA3 utilizes the same CMOS sensor technology as used
in their Emmy award winning high speed cameras and provides mega pixel
resolution (1K by 1K pixels) up to 2,000 frames per second (fps).
Engineered to survive hostile environments to 100G's in any axis, the Fastcam SA3
is a compact and rugged camera ideal for those applications requiring
reliability and superior image quality, regardless of the situation.
The super light sensitive sensor provides 12-bit dynamic range from its
large seventeen micron square pixels without falling back on
interlacing or interpolation trickery, a serious consideration for
anyone requiring precise motion analysis. A two microsecond global
electronic shutter ensures your images are blur free regardless of
speed.
Two models of the Fastcam SA3
are available; starting with the 60K model that provides full
resolution to 1,000 fps, with a top speed of 60,000 fps at reduced
resolution, and culminating in the Fastcam SA3 120K that
provides 2,000 fps at 1,024 by 1,024 pixel resolution, and reduced
resolution operations as fast as 120,000 fps. Both models are available
with either two, four or eight Gigabytes onboard memory, color or
monochrome.
Photron has just released a new model with
battery backup included. The built in battery provides one and a half
hours data retention in the event power is lost.
Optional accessories include an RS422 remote control keypad
with built-in 5" LCD display to make setting up and operating the
camera without a computer needing to be connected via the built-in
Gigabit Ethernet port. The camera is provided with both C-mount and
F-mount lens mountings, and can be supplied with an optional high-G
block mount for use in high-G environments.
