INTRODUCTION
The Phantom TMX Series of high-speed cameras are designed to deliver the high frame rate
performance required by many cutting edge applications, including:
• Ballistics studies
• Shock wave analysis
• Glass crack propagation and material strain analysis
TMX is available in 2 performance levels:
• TMX-7510, offering 75 Gpx/sec throughput
• TMX-6410, offering 64 Gpx/sec throughput
CUTTING EDGE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
TMX cameras are the first high speed cameras that use a back side illuminated (BSI) sensor.
BSI technology places the metal required for high frame rates on the back of the sensor,
exposing the pixels to light. This makes the sensors very light sensitive. Additionally, with
BSI technology, TMX cameras provide larger resolutions for very high frame rates, allowing
users to see a larger area of their experiment than before.
TMX cameras offer a binning feature that groups pixels into 2 x 2 blocks to provide alternative
aspect ratios. Binning is available on color cameras, but the output image is in monochrome.
