Description

The Chronos 1.4 High-Speed Camera is the ideal choice for research and development, engineering, and manufacturing work that requires relatively high frame rates for review and analysis. Compared to the Chronos 2.1-HD, our 1.4 model has the capacity for high frame rates at lower resolutions and is the best choice for lower budgets. Video is saved in compressed H.264 (MPEG-4) or uncompressed RAW format to removable media. You can save hundreds of shots on a single SD card.

Chronos 1.4 high speed camera is mainly used by:

  • Science, engineering, manufacturing industries
  • Low-budget YouTubers and video enthusiasts

This slow-motion, high-speed camera’s main features:

  • 1.4Gpx/s, 1.3 megapixel image sensor captures 1280×1024 @ 1057fps, and up to 38500fps at lower resolution.
  • Available in color and monochrome. The monochrome option has higher effective resolution and is twice as sensitive as color.
  • 8GB, 16GB and 32GB memory options for 4, 8, and 16 second record times respectively.
  • High sensitivity of ISO 320-5 120 (Color), 740-11 840 (Monochrome) enables shooting with modest lighting.

Features

  • 1.4Gpx/s, 1.3-megapixel image sensor captures 1280x1024 @ 1069 Frames Per Second (FPS), and up to 40413FPS at lower resolution. Available in color and monochrome. The monochrome option has higher effective resolution and is twice as sensitive as the color option.
  • 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB high-speed RAM buffer options for 4, 8, and 16 second record time respectively.
  • High sensitivity of ISO 320-5120 (Color) and 740-11840 (Monochrome) enables shooting with modest lighting.
  • Completely standalone, untethered operation. Field-swappable internal battery lasts for upto 1.5 hours of recording.
  • Runs indefinitely on AC adapter or external power source.
  • Continuous record mode records normal rate video (60FPS) continuously to storage devices while simultaneously recording bursts of high-speed video.
  • I/O ports enable synchronization and remote triggering through electrical signals, audio, and web interface. An open source, REST-based Application Programming Interface (API) is also included for integrations into custom software or control environments.
  • Focus peaking highlights sharp edges for quick and perfect focus. Zebra lines help you set correct exposure
