Phantom v1211

1 megapixel digital high-speed camera with 12 Gpx/s throughput

Designed with versatility and flexibility in mind, the 1 megapixel digital Phantom v1211 is the ideal solution for applications that require capturing high-resolution images at ultra-high speeds, serving as an excellent tool for scientists, researchers and engineers.

Phantom V-Series high-speed camera

Note: The Phantom v1211 is an obsolete product. Newer Phantom high-speed camera models offer improved performance, workflow and support.

Key Benefits

12 Gpx/s throughput

The widescreen CMOS sensor can acquire and save up to 12 gigapixels-per-second of data.

Ultra-high frame rates

More than 12,000 fps can be achieved at full 1280 x 800 resolution, with up to 571,000 fps at reduced resolutions.

FAST option

The export-controlled FAST option enables frame rates up to 820,000 fps.

High image quality

The custom-designed CMOS sensor uses 28 µm pixels and 12-bit depth for high light sensitivity and dynamic range.

High-Speed Imaging Performance

Utilising a widescreen CMOS sensor, the v1211 can acquire and save up to 12 Gigapixels-per-second of data and, at full megapixel resolution of 1280 x 800, over 12,000 frames-per-second can be achieved. At reduced resolutions, the v1211 offers frame rates of up to 571,000 fps and can also be ordered with a FAST option (export controlled), which enables frame rates up to 820,000 fps.

The custom-designed sensor has 28 micron pixels and an innovative design to ensure superb light-sensitivity, essential in ultra-high-speed imaging. Standard 12-bit depth per pixel yields high dynamic range and provides excellent image quality.

Advanced Features

Image-Based Auto-Trigger

Trigger the camera, or a number of connected cameras, from motion detected within the live image, making it easier to catch events that are not predictable or that occur infrequently.

Internal Mechanical Shutter

With an internal mechanical shutter, the black frame can be obtained by simply closing the shutter. No physical access to the camera is needed.

Multi-Cine

Partition internal memory into segments and make shorter recordings back-to-back without missing any action.

Continuous Recording

Automatically save a recorded cine to a disk drive on a connected PC immediately after it is recorded, then re-arm the camera and wait for the next cine.

Burst Mode

Burst mode allows you to trigger the camera at 0° and then take a burst of images at precise time delays.

Quiet Fans

During recording, the fans can be turned off to eliminate vibration that might interfere with some applications, especially when image magnification is required.

Image Storage and Camera Connections

Phantom V-Series rear camera connections

Ease-of-use features include common signal connections conveniently located on the back panel, including connections for timecode, dual power inputs, HD-SDI, a GPS input, frame synchronization and trigger. The two HD-SDI ports can be configured in several ways and can act as identical 4:2:2 HD-SDI ports, with one port set up to provide an optional on-screen display for monitoring the on-camera controls and camera operation. The ports can also be configured as a single 4:4:4 Dual-Link HD-SDI port.

An internal mechanical shutter allows for hands-free automatic and/or remote black references.

At ultra-high speeds, memory can become a limitation to recording duration. The v1211 can be equipped with 24GB, 48GB or 96GB of high-speed memory. Cine save times can also be minimised by using the CineMag non-volatile feature, enabling the saving of any shot from high-speed RAM to a CineMag in seconds.
