FASTCAM SA-ZThe Photron FASTCAM SA-Z offers scientists, researchers and engineers the ability to capture high resolution digital images at ultra-high speeds to see and understand previously invisible processes and events. Using Photron's proprietary CMOS image sensor technology, FASTCAM SA-Z combines high recording rates with outstanding light sensitivity and excellent image quality to provide the most versatile ultra-high speed digital camera available today.
The ultra-high speed FASTCAM SA-Z provides mega pixel resolution to a blistering 21,000 frames per second (fps) from it's very light sensitive (ISO 25,000) 20µm square pixels, with 12-bit pixel depth (ADC) delivering incredible image quality. The FASTCAM SA-Z can operate at reduced resolution beyond two million frames per second. A global electronic shutter, 1µs standard, but capable of operating down as fast as 159 nanoseconds (export restrictions apply) ensures the 12-bit monochrome, 36-bit color images are crystal clear and blur free as you have come to expect from Photron high speed imaging products. The square image format is ideal for any application requiring recording through a round or square viewing ports, such as combustion research, and has the added benefit of enabling users to rotate their camera if required without having to sacrifice horizontal resolution as is required when a camera with a rectangular aspect ratio is mounted on its side. Tools within Photron's PFV camera control / replay/ editing software allow the displayed image to be rotated to reflect the true view.
