FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will the Phantom Remote Control Unit (RCU) work with the
UHS-12 (v2512, v2012, v1612 and v1212) and UHS-40 (v1840 and
v2640) cameras?
Yes. You can connect through the remote port on the camera either with a ‘Remote’ cable
or Bluetooth dongle. You can also use an RCU connected via the Break-out-Box.
If you connect using the remote port on the camera, you will also have to connect to one of
the HD-SDI outputs of the camera to see video on the RCU.
Connecting through the Break-out-Box provides NTSC or PAL video to the RCU.
These cameras can have a lot of memory! How long does it
take to save a shot?
All of the Phantom UHS-12 and UHS-40 cameras are equipped standard with 10Gb
Ethernet and can be equipped with the unique CineMag interface, precisely for fast
downloading.
The 10Gb Ethernet allows data transfer at up to 500 MB/second on optimized systems,
meaning all 288GB of memory can be downloaded in approximately eight minutes.
The CineMag interface can transfer images from the camera’s high-speed memory to
non-volatile, flash memory at about 1 Gpx/sec. A full resolution frame is 1 Mpx, so you can
save about 1000 frames each second to a CineMag. In other words, you can save about 1.5
GB/sec to non-volatile mass-storage. A Phantom Ultrahigh-Speed camera, equipped with
maximum memory of 288GB, can save its full memory buffer to a CineMag in just over
three minutes.
Once a shot is saved to the CineMag, it is safely stored and available for later retrieval. This
means you can immediately use the camera for another shot.
Images stored on a CineMag are available for later retrieval using the Phantom Camera
Control (PCC) software, with the CineMag mounted on either the camera or the offline
docking station known as a CineStation. They may be downloaded either through the
camera or the CineStation, using their 10Gb Ethernet ports.
The UHS-12 and UHS-40 cameras are compatible with CineMag IV (1TB and 2TB capacities)
and CineMag V (2TB and 8TB capacities).
