MULTI HEAD HIGH-SPEED CAMERA SYSTEM

Compact Camera Heads provide
Big Performance
The FASTCAM Multi is a unique, high-speed camera system featuring one or two
compact and lightweight camera heads tethered to a remote processor. The small
camera heads allow image capture at up to 6,000 frames per second (fps) at
megapixel resolution within confined areas that are not large enough to support the
size of a "typical stand alone" high-speed camera. The separation of the camera
head from the processor ensures that image data is safely retained in the processor,
even if the camera head is damaged or destroyed during an explosive event. No
other high speed camera has the combination of high resolution, frame rate
performance and small camera size that is available with the FASTCAM Multi.
Despite the small size of its camera head(s), the FASTCAM Multi provides a very high
level of imaging performance. The system offers up to 4,800 fps at full 1,280 x
1,024 pixel resolution and 6,000 fps at 720 High Definition (HD) resolution, and
with reduced resolution to 750,000 fps. A global shutter provides blur free 12-bit
images with exposure times as short as 1 microsecond. The FASTCAM Multi's CMOS
sensor features 10 micron square pixels that deliver light sensitivity of ISO 10,000
monochrome and ISO 5,000 color according to the ISO 12232 Ssat standard.
The FASTCAM Multi is compatible with a large quantity of off-the-shelf commercial
lenses, including C mount, Nikon F (G-type) and Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lense
mounts. Due to the small pixel pitch of the FASTCAM Multi's sensor, the camera is
capable of utilizing 1" C mount lenses without the appearance of vignetting. Its
distinctive feature set makes the FASTCAM Multi well-suited for many different
applications including microscopy, detonation and explosives testing, off board
automotive safety testing and more.
Target applications include:
