 Phantom Micro high-speed digital camera : At NAB in Las Vegas and SAE World Congress in Detroit, Vision Research is unveiling the first member in a line of Phantom high-speed digital cameras. The Phantom Miro line is a compact, light-weight, rugged family of cameras targeted at industrial applications ranging from biometric research to automotive crash testing. The first member of the family, the Phantom Miro 3, is optimized for applications such as Hydraulically Controlled, Gas Energized crash simulations used in the automotive industry. Rated to survive 100g acceleration this rugged camera can take 512x512 images at up to 2200 frames-per-second. Reduce the resolution to 32 x 32 and achieve frame rates greater than 95,000 fps.

 Phantom high-speed digital cameras
With an high ISO rating of 4800 (monochrome, saturation-based ISO 12232), the camera has the light sensitivity for the most demanding applications. With shutter speeds as low as 2 microseconds, the user can freeze objects in motion, eliminate blur, and bring out the image detail needed for successful motion analysis. The camera accepts any standard 1" C-mount lens. Selectable 8-, 10- or 12-bit pixel depth allows the user to choose the dynamic range that best meets the demands of the application.
Phantom Micro 3 high-speed digital camera - Availability
The Miro 3 has a number of external control signals allowing for external triggering, camera synchronization, and time-stamping. The camera has both dynamic RAM and internal flash memory for non-volatile storage. Internal battery power allows the camera to be used in an un-tethered mode and ensures data survivability in case of loss of power. The camera ships with a trial version of Image Systems' TEMA Starter for Phantom motion analysis software. The Miro 3 is available now with deliveries ranging from 4-6 weeks.
