Featuring the ability to capture high-resolution images at high, speeds, the Phantom V2010 is a powerful, 1 megapixel digital high-speed camera. Designed to be versatile and flexible, it is an excellent tool for researchers, scientists and engineers who need to capture high-resolution images at very high speeds.

Based on a field-proven camera widely used in many industrial and scientific applications, the Phantom V2010 is built with a wide screen CMOS sensor that delivers an industry-leading speed of over 22,000 frames-per-second at full 1 megapixel resolution.

The benefits
No-stopping memory segmentation
At high speeds, memory can become a limiting factor in camera performance because of the huge amount of data that is acquired. However, the Phantom V2010 can be configured with 24 GB, 48 GB or 96 GB of memory which can be segmented into as many as 63 partitions allowing for the shooting of back-to-back shots without the need for constant downloading. Partitioning internal memory provides the capacity to make shorter recordings back-to-back without missing any action.

Maximize cine saving time and storage security with Phantom CineMag
The Phantom CineMag feature comes as standard. With the ability to save 512GG data to an attached CineMag. A 96 GB shot can be saved in about 1.5 minutes and the resulting cine is securely stored in non-volatile memory. The contents of the CineMag can be viewed later on a PC, trimmed, played to video and saved either back to the camera or on the offline Phantom CineStation.

High throughput
High throughput is important. At any given resolution, a camera with the highest throughput will provide the fastest frame rates at that resolution. Having high throughput means top performance and maximum flexibility to adapt to any shooting requirement.

Image-based auto-trigger
The camera can be triggered from motion-detection within the live image making it easier to catch events that are not predictable or occur infrequently

PIV and Burst Mode
Science experiments require precise timing and stable and predictable capture. The PIV and Burst Mode features provide the environment to capture accurately. The V2010 as a Frame Off mode for PIV and has a 500ns straddle time. .

Sensor characteristics
Based on Vision Research's custom CMOS sensor (colour and monochrome versions), the 28 micron pixel size means excellent light sensitivity, an essential for successful high-speed capture. The rectangular shape of the 1Mpx sensor keeps moving objects in the frame for a longer period.

Size and weight
As with its predecessors, the V2010 is 28x19x17.5cm and weighs 7.65kg without lens.

Global shutter
The global electronic shutter is capable of exposures as fast as 1 µs on a standard camera, or 500 ns with the FAST option to completely freeze motion without motion blurring.

Versatile and conveniently-located connections
The Phantom V2010 and its two predecessors, are very highly-connected cameras providing 15 connection points at the rear of the camera (see figure above left)

Command and control
A variety of different set-up and control tools are provided with full-featured, easy-to-set-up control software.

Mechanical Shutter
The in-built mechanical shuuter allows automatic and remote black reference calibration.

Remote Control Unit
This RCU is a small, full-featured camera controller that connects to the remote port on the camera or connects wirelessly via Bluetooth. The RCU's LCD touch screen provides finger-tap access to all camera features. Connected to one of the HD-SDI video ports, it can also be used as a monitor.
