FASTCAM-APX RS Hardware Manual
-8-
1.1. Preface
The FASTCAM-APX RS High-Speed Video Camera System will prove itself a truly
powerful visualization tool giving solution to engineers and scientists in such fields as
general research and development, designing, manufacturing, quality assurance,
scientific researches, medical and biological researches, space and aeronautics
engineering. With its mega-pixel, ultra-high sensitivity imaging sensor that enables
framing under extremely low level of light, the APX RS offers a great basic feature of
extremely high-speed recording of up to 250,000 frames per second (fps). Another
outstanding feature is that it promises an excellent user-friendliness of intuitive
recording of subjects moving at a very high speed thanks to its real-time video output
and easy-to-operate keypad-type remote control unit. Also, the hybrid-design scheme
of the APX RS makes it possible to seamlessly connect with a PC via a high-speed
digital interface, combined with easy-to-use control software, to form an image
recording and processing system that offers a much easier means for analyzing
captured events immediately, which has been very difficult with conventional systems.
You will find this new recording technology most useful to capture the image of
high-speed moving subjects for subsequent slow-motion observation and motion
analysis, and image processing applications. This manual presents the technical details
of the APX RS system and how to operate it.
