Phantom V710 Video Camera Delivers 1,400,000fps Vision Research has claimed its Phantom v710 provides the fastest image acquisition available in a CMOS high-speed digital video camera. The Phantom v710 delivers 1,400,000 frames per second (fps). Increasing to a higher resolution allows the camera to capture at 7,530fps (1280 x 800). Phantom v710 features remote/automatic black referencing, versatile dual HD-SDI outputs, a component viewfinder port, high-speed synchronisation, range data input and Phantom Cinemag support. The custom-designed CMOS 1280 x 800 sensor provides an aspect ratio that is 25 per cent wider than conventional square cameras and allows the cinematographer to keep moving targets in-frame longer and see more of the event. The v710's wide-aspect ratio can also capture 1280 x 720 with a one-megapixel camera. he v710 provides 7,500fps at full megapixel resolution. Decreasing the frame rates allows higher frame rates, up to 1,400,000fps. Its unsurpassed sensitivi...

Stahl Compiles Oil-Rig Camera-Surveillance Package Stahl has compiled a scalable package of cameras and recording systems for camera surveillance in hazardous areas on gas and oil rigs. In addition to making operations safer, it enables users to carry out a thorough study of causes and fix any problems in the case of incidents. The system supports live monitoring at HMI stations and complete documentation of events. The standard package includes four cameras whose video signals can be recorded manipulation-proof for up to ten days. This network-compliant solution, which also permits authorised remote access to images via the internet, can be expanded to include twice or four times as many cameras. The recording capacity, which as a standard is covered by a 500GB hard disk, can be easily expanded to meet a specific application's requirements. Resolutions of up to 4 CIF, as well as a full PAL format with 704 x 576 pixels, can be selected for the H264 compressed digital-video file...
