Phantom v1212

Ultra-high-speed 1 megapixel camera for high-resolution imaging at extreme frame rates.

Considered the work horse of the Phantom UHS-12 series of 1 megapixel cameras, the v1212 is designed for versatility and flexibility and is ideal for users wanting high-resolution images captured at ultra-high speeds.

The widescreen CMOS colour and monochrome sensor can acquire and save up to 12 Gigapixels-per-second of data. At full megapixel resolution of 1280 x 800, over 12,000 frames-per-second can be achieved. Reducing the resolution provides frame rates of up to 571,000 fps and adding the FAST option provides frame rates up to 820,000 fps.

Phantom v1212 Overview

Phantom v1212 camera rear connections

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

The v1212's 72GB, 144GB or 288GB high-speed memory can be divided into up to 63 segments, giving users maximum flexibility. Cine save times can also be improved with the Phantom CineMag IV, an option that saves any shot from high-speed RAM to a 1TB or 2TB CineMag in seconds.

The v1212 has the same Ease-of-Use features as all the other members of the Phantom High-Speed Camera line. Common signal connections are conveniently located on its back panel, and include connections for timecode, dual power inputs, HD-SDI, a GPS input, frame synchronization, and trigger.

The two HD-SDI ports 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. Or, they can 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. Convenient Quiet fans mode turns off fans for vibration-sensitive applications.

The camera comes with a Nikon F-mount that also supports G-mount lenses; or a C-mount or Canon EF mount for remote lens control can also be used.
