PCC 4.1 Software: Streamlined High-Speed Data Management
Next-Generation Phantom Control Software
The Phantom Camera Control (PCC) 4.1 Software platform provides a re-architectured environment for managing high-speed imaging workflows. Developed for efficiency and scalability, it enables technicians to orchestrate complex camera networks with increased confidence and reduced setup time.
High-Speed, High-Resolution Monitoring
Immediate visual confirmation is critical when observing high-resolution cameras or multi-camera arrays. PCC 4.1 utilises GPU-accelerated playback to provide real-time monitoring without lag. When combined with Thumbnail Mode, the software delivers the clarity and validity required for live viewing of dynamic, high-speed events.
Advanced Motion Analysis
PCC 4.1 enables a seamless data transition into the Phantom Cine Analyzer (PCA). This integration supports both basic and advanced motion analysis workflows, ensuring that high-speed data is ready for immediate evaluation and processing.

Capabilities and Benefits
- Complete Camera Awareness: The Tracks View provides a single-screen overview of exposure, frame rate, trigger position, and sync state for every camera before recording begins.
- Repeatable Experiments: Project-based workflows preserve full system configurations, eliminating "hidden setting" drift across multi-day trials.
- Streamlined Training: In-program help files allow lab teams and students to self-train, reducing the onboarding friction and dependency on senior staff.
- Reliable Synchronisation: Maintain consistent sync even across the most sophisticated multi-camera configurations.
High-Speed Imaging Applications
On-board structural analysis, airbag deployment, and occupant kinematics.
Canopy ejection, component durability testing, and high-G environment monitoring.
Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV).
