2.2.4. Imager (Camera Head)
The FASTCAM MC1’s imager has been designed to be smaller than the previous models. The
imager has been reduced to a revolutionary small size, while maintaining high specifications such
as a 512 x 512 resolution at recording rates up to 2000 fps.
There are two types of interchangeable imagers; color and monochrome.
* The maximum frame speed available with an imager is varied by the type of the camera controller
employed.
2.2.5. Camera Cable
A cable is required to connect the camera controller and the imager on the FASTCAM MC1 . The
length of the camera cable is 7m. The small size of the imager and the connector makes it possible
to access even the most difficult to access environments.
