INTRODUCTION
The Phantom T1340 is a four-megapixel high-speed camera developed for applications
where high resolution is beneficial, including:
•
Microscopy and subjects that require high-magnification
•
Tracking projectiles or other objects with the ability to resolve objects far in the
distance
•
Imaging methods where more resolution is required for greater accuracy.
Techniques include Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and flow visualization.
SENSITIVITY, EXPOSURE INDEX AND BINNING
The T1340 is available in color or monochrome. While color cameras produce visually
dynamic video and additional information, mono cameras are selected when greater light
sensitivity is required - often a critical factor due to the low exposure times associated with
high-speed imaging.
The Exposure Index (EI) function is available in PCC or using the on-camera controls.
EI effectively boosts the ISO beyond the native value by applying pre-defined tone curves.
This method preserves the raw image data and overall look of the image throughout the EI
Range, which varies by camera model based on the native ISO and recommended settings.
The pixel binning feature boosts sensitivity by grouping pixels into 2X2 blocks to create a
larger pixel area. This converts the 4 Mpx sensor to 1 Mpx with 1024 x 976 resolution that
consists of large 27 micron pixels, rather than the sensor's normal 13.5 micron pixels.
