Miro M-Series Cameras Offer High-Speed Features In Easy-to-Use, Compact Design
The Phantom Miro M110 and M310 are 1 megapixel cameras (1280 x 800 resolution) with 1.6 Gigapixel/second (Gpx/s) and 3.2 Gpx/s throughput respectively. The Phantom Miro M120 is a 2 megapixel camera (1920 x 1200 resolution) with 1.6 Gpx/s throughput.
Phantom v1610
The Phantom v1610 digital high-speed camera can acquire and save up to 16 Gpx/s of data. That means at its full megapixel resolution of 1280 x 800, you can achieve 16,000 fps. At reduced resolutions, the v1610 offers frame rates of 650,000 fps.
Phantom v1210
The Phantom v1210 takes high-speed imaging to the next level by designing the camera around a proprietary 1280 x 800 widescreen CMOS sensor, which enables the cameras to deliver impressive frame rates of 12,000 fps. Vision Research’s Phantom line of digital, high-speed cameras is widely used by scientists and engineers around the world because it provides industry-leading performance and advanced features.
