The high-end Phantom v1610 camera captures every possible detail in your videos at 1 million FPS
When it comes to high definition video recording, few companies have rivaled Phantom cameras in that department. We had earlier seen the Phantom Gold which was used in Shark Week’s slow motion videos and that too under water. This time covering yet another milestone in non-scientific cameras, Phantom introduces the v1610 camera which can capture videos at speeds of up to 1 million frames per second (FPS), practically capturing everything that is there to record.
Not to be perplexed by the high number, as this high speed of capturing is achievable if the resolution of the video is reduced to 128 x 16, and the optional FAST shooting feature is used because for smaller resolutions, a higher speed can be achieved making it perfect for capturing minutest of details. However, if the user doesn’t want to use such a high speed, then he/she is perfectly welcome to shoot in the range of 600,000 FPS in low resolution. As for regular shooting capabilities, a rate of 16,000 FPS is achievable at a fairly decent resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Also included in the camera is the CMOS 35.8 x 22.4 mm sensor that can record at 16 giga-pixels per second, which can be stored with the help of the optional 24GB, 48GB or 96GB of RAM, and if that too isn’t enough, could try Phantom CineMag storage system that can store up to 512 GB of videos which make downloading and storage faster. Also, if you are looking to share your contents on a network, there is a 10GB Ethernet port on the back panel along with other features like the USB Port, remote control, SMPTE & IRIG time code, strobe outputs and also the Frame synchronizer with external or internal clock.
The pricing starts around $100,000, but for those looking to capture details, will sure go after this tech-marvel from Phantom, which just might take video recording and imaging to another dimension altogether.
