1.1. Product Overview and Features
This product is a detachable high-speed camera that can connect up to two compact camera
heads simultaneously. Since the Multi can be easily set up for synchronized recording by attaching
two camera heads to the main unit, this system is optimum for applications such as multi-angle
recording and 3D video analysis. It is simple to exchange color/monochrome camera head(s) since
camera heads and the main unit are detachable.
The Multi has adopted a special robust multi-optical cable to connect between the main unit and
camera head(s). There are 5m-cable and 10m-cable options. They can be used for explosion,
ignition, and shock tests where dangerous phenomena will be recorded. This will allow the main unit
to be set at a safe location and important data will be protected.
The main unit has adopted a robust design where circuit boards are completely sealed from the
outside. The system is not only equipped with input/output terminals for triggering and synchronizing
with external devices, but also supports a variety of functions such as video output and Gigabit
Ethernet control by a PC and Remote Controller (Optional). Photron has software for control, image
analysis, and processing.
Use the Multi in a variety of applications with its multi-function, high-performance, robust, and
expandable specifications to take full advantage of it.
