CAMERA OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
The Phantom Ultrahigh-Speed (UHS) Series consists of 1 Megapixel (Mpx) and 4 Mpx cameras.
The 1 Mpx members are the v1212, v1612, v2012 and v2512. With throughputs ranging from 12
to 25 Gigapixels per second (Gpx/sec), these cameras are designed for very high frame rate
applications. They use a proprietary CMOS sensor and have the very high light sensitivity
needed for high-speed applications.
High throughput is important. At any given resolution, a camera with the highest throughput
provides the highest possible frame rates.
The 4 Mpx members are the v1840 and v2640. They are designed to provide exceptional
image detail and quality coupled with high throughput. They also use a proprietary CMOS
sensor that offers flexibility with standard Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) mode, High
Speed, Bright Field and Binned modes that can be switched in software.
All Phantom Ultrahigh-Speed cameras have global electronic shutters.
OPERATING MODES (v1840 / v2640)
The v1840 and v2640 can operate in five different modes, selectable in PCC.
Standard Mode: Standard mode implements Correlated Double Sampling (CDS), providing
the highest dynamic range and lowest noise.
High Speed (HS) Mode: HS mode does not incorporate CDS, but instead provides up to 34
percent increase in throughput.
