Photron Fastcam NOVA-R2

Compact and Versatile High Performance Camera System

The FASTCAM NOVA R2 brings together unique CMOS image sensor technologies and extensive high-speed digital imaging expertise to provide a camera with the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of applications. The FASTCAM NOVA R2 offers 12-bit image recording rates up to 1,440 frames per second (fps) at 4-megapixel image resolution, and shutter speeds to 2.7μs. Recording rates to 100,000fps are available at reduced image resolutions. All of this available from a camera that is rugged, compact, lightweight and provides the best light sensitivity in its class.

1440 fps at 4 Megapixel

Standard features of the FASTCAM NOVA R2 include an internal mechanical shutter to allow remote system calibration, memory segmentation that allows recording into one memory partition while downloading from another, and compatibility with a number of industry standard lens formats to allow the use of Nikon G-Type, C-mount and Canon EF lenses.

The NOVA also features a “sealed body” design that prevents dust and corrosive particles from contaminating sensitive electronics. An optional FASTDrive SSD can be used for the download of images at up to 1GB per second.

Compatible with C-mount, Nikon G and Canon EF lenses

The FASTCAM NOVA R2uses an advanced CMOS image sensor optimized for light sensitivity and high image quality that is unique to Photron. A 10-micron pixel pitch gives a sensor size at full image resolution of 20.48 x 20.48mm (diagonal 28.96mm).
At full image resolution, the image sensor size is compatible with readily available 4/3” C mount lenses. In addition, the camera is supplied with a Nikon F mount lens fitting fully compatible with G type Nikon DSLR objectives.

An optional lens mount supporting Canon EF lenses is available for the FASTCAM NOVA R2 providing remote control of lens focus and iris through Photron PFV software.

Software and SDK's for LabView and Matlab included

Other features include an image trigger to automatically trigger the camera when motion is detected within the field of view, compatibility with a National Instruments™ USB data acquisition (DAQ) module, support for AVI, WMV and MOV video formats directly from the camera, and support for TIFF, PNG, JPEG and Bitmap image formats.
