Optional FASTDrive Removable High Capacity Data Storage:
4TB High-speed Solid State Drive
Fast 10-Gigabit Ethernet Interface:
Provides camera control and high-speed image download to standard PC
Fan Stop Function:
Remotely switch off cooling fans to eliminate
vibration when recording at high magnifications
Optional Removable Data Storage:
FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras can be supplied with the Photron FASTDrive high-capacity removable SSD. The ultra-high data rate FASTDrive allows a 128GB camera recording to be transferred to a removable SSD drive in approximately
2 minutes. Recorded data can then be directly accessed while coupled to the camera or the drive may be removed and
inserted into the portable FASTDock station connected to any Windows PC.
High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet Interface:
FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras are equipped with a high-speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet Interface to provide reliable camera control and fast download of image data.
Dedicated I/O:
A dedicated BNC connection for a contact closure hardware trigger input supporting NO, NC operation is provided. In
addition, two programmable inputs and two programmable
output channels provide direct connection for common tasks such as synchronization of multiple cameras and operation in conjunction with Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware.
Ruggedized Mechanical Calibration Shutter:
The ruggedized mechanical shutter is fitted as standard to FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K / R5-4K cameras allows sensor black
balance calibration to be carried out remotely from the system control software.
Optional C-Mount and Canon EF Lens Mounts:
In addition to the standard Nikon G type lens adapter, all
FASTCAM Nova models support an optional C-mount lens
adapter and an optional Canon EF lens adapter which, through Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV), not only enables remote
operation of lens focus and aperture but also adds Auto-Focus capability.
