L
and S models for industrial applications
Catering to
the all-purpose, mid-range and budget-conscious market, Vision Research's
Phantom is renowned for high-end and super-slow-mo industrial cameras.
Applications that demand high magnification; those
where movement is across a large space; and those that require fine detail
precision, can take advantage of the VEO 4K's high-speed capture combined
with its excellent image quality and pixel resolution.
Specific applications needs can be met through a range of four
models; two performance levels, two body styles and two memory configurations
- choose the body style, memory configuration and lens mount that works
for your application and budget.
Two body styles
Built tough, all models are available in two body styles: L and S.
The L-model includes everything needed for traditional
software-based capture and motion analysis while the S-model
includes additional signal availability, on-camera controls, ruggedized
connectors and compatibility with removable CFast 2.0 storage
media. Segment memory for up to 63 cines in multi-cine mode.
Both models are available with optional 10Gb Ethernet for an optimal workflow,
include 3G HD-SDI, HDMI outputs and Programmable I/O and built tough for
high performance in difficult environments. Long-term reliability is secured
as the internal electronics are completely isolated.

PL model tailored for the media industry
Catering to the budget-conscious film and TV maker by offering a choice
of two attractively-priced high-speed models.
Customized for media applications with the black housing and the features required for cinematography, the camera can be considered as Phantom Flex4K-GS image performance in the convenient form factor of a Phantom VEO.
Including all the features of the VEO-S model cameras, including on-camera
controls, ruggedized connectors and compatibility with removable CFast
2.0 storage media, the camera is available with optional 10Gb Ethernet
for an optimal workflow, and includes 3G HD-SDI, HDMI outputs and Programmable
I/O. Segment memory for up to 63 cines in multi-cine mode
