Photron FASTCAM Nova - Compact and versatile highspeed camera system
FASTCAM NOVA brings together unique CMOS image sensor technologies and extensive high-speed
digital imaging expertise to provide a camera with the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of applications.
Available in five different models, the FASTCAM NOVA offers 10/12-bit image recording rates up to 20,000 frames per second (fps) at megapixel image resolution, and shutter speeds to 0.2μs. Recording rates to 1,100,000fps are available at reduced image resolution. All of this available from a camera that is rugged, compact, lightweight and provides the best light sensitivity in its class.
Standard features of the FASTCAM NOVA include an internal mechanical shutter to allow remote system
calibration, a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface for camera control and high-speed image
download, memory segmentation that allows recording into one memory partition while downloading from another, and compatibility with a number of industry standard lens formats to allow the use of Nikon G-Type, C-mount and Canon EF lenses.
The FASTCAM NOVA also features a “sealed body” design that prevents dust and corrosive particles from
contaminating sensitive electronics. An optional FASTDrive SSD can be used for the download of images
at up to 1GB per second.
Intuitive and feature rich Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software is included with each FASTCAM NOVA 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 environmen
