Vision Research has launched “Phantom Miro 3,” the first of its family of high-speed digital cameras. This camera is targeted at industrial applications such as Hydraulically Controlled, Gas Energized crash simulations used in the automotive industry. With its minimum shutter speed of 2 ms, you can eliminate motion blur and freeze fast-moving objects to achieve the image detail needed for a clear motion analysis.
This compact and rugged camera is rated to survive 100g acceleration and can achieve a frame rate of 1,000 fps at 800×600 resolution. If that frame rate is not enough, you can reduce resolution to 512×512 to achieve 2,200 fps. The frame rate can be increased even to 95,000 fps by reducing the resolution further to 32 x 32. You can select among three pixel depths of 8, 10 or 12 to adjust the dynamic range according to the need. This camera which is compatible with any standard 1″ C-mount lens also features an integrated flash memory of 4GB and a dynamic RAM. Its internal batteries help in preventing loss of data due to power failures. The camera has ISO ratings of 4800 in monochrome mode and 1200 in color mode.
