NBC use Adept Electronic Solutions’ Phantom v12 megapixel camera

Phantom v12 megapixel camera

NBC are using a slow motion replay system for gymnastics and, track and field events at the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

The slow-motion replays are being shown on-air as well as archived in the NBC Olympics web site.

NBC use the Phantom v12 megapixel camera, available from Adept Electronic Solutions , to provide high-definition replays shot at up to 7000 frames-per-second.

This can yield replays that slow down motion by up to 100 times, giving the viewing audience an experience never seen before.

This image from the recent British Open shows the Phantom v12 as it is outfitted for the Olympic coverage. It is being used in both hand-held and tripod-mounted applications.

The camera is in almost continuous use as it moves back and forth between gymnastics, shot at night in a stadium, and track and field, shot in daylight.

The Phantom v12 megapixel camera has set the high-speed digital imaging speed at one million frames per second. The 1280x800 megapixel CMOS sensor with its wide aspect ratio of the v12 allows for a widescreen view.

The Phantom v12 megapixel camera operates at 6,242 frames-per-second (fps) at full resolution with up to 1,000,000fps at reduced resolution.

With an active pixel size of 20 microns and improved quantum efficiency, the Phantom v12 camera has high sensitivity with low noise possible.

The Phantom v12 camera features a high-resolution timing system giving timing resolution of 20ns; high-speed dynamic RAM (8GB, 16GB or 32GB); compatibility with Phantom CineMag non-volatile, hot-swappable memory (256GB, 512GB) magazines; and a variety of formats including NTSC, PAL, SDI and high-definition 720p.

DALSA’s dual linescan CCD from Adept Electronic Solutions (22-Dec-2008)
DALSA’s novel dual linescan CCD breaks this trend. By doubling sensitivity with only a √2 increase in shot noise, the design delivers a greater signal to noise ratio, especially in light-starved situations. Functionally similar to TDI arrays, the design consists of two parallel arrays of photodiode pixels. Each pixel is connected to a selectable delay gate that either allows charges through or delays the charges by one scan line. Signal electrons from the two arrays (one of which has been delayed) are then combined on-chip into a single output (with no increase in amplifier noise). Because the delay is selectable, the sensor allows bidirectional scanning. The design also preserves conventional linescan features such as exposure control and high blue response. This dual linescan CCD is available from Adept Electronic Solutions.

New GigE cameras available from Adept Electronic Solutions (28-Nov-2008)

MV-D1024E-3D01 camera for 3D profiling using laser triangulation available from Adept Electronic Solutions (18-Nov-2008)
The MV-D1024E-3D01 camera, distributed by Adept Electronic Solutions, contains an image pre-processing module that specifically detects laser lines and locates the central axis of the laser line in 3D using triangulation. The MV-D1024E-3D01 is ideal for 3D applications such as 3D profiling for quality control, PCB inspection, food inspection, packaging inspection, and much more.

AVT long distance Firewire 1394a cables available from Adept Electronic Solutions (16-Oct-2008)
The FireWire standard specifies the maximum cable length for 1394a as 4.5m. However, 10m cables are also available. AVT introduce two longer FireWire cables, which can give a combined maximum length of 35 meters (114 feet) enabling the use of FireWire for applications that were previously unsuitable. These cables are available from Adept Electronic Solutions.
