Extreme slow motion capture has remained something film does best. Until NAB 2007, the few hi-res video systems available were too limited, with either a not-so-impressively-fast frame rate or having poor (read murky) image quality. At the show, I-Movix offered one of the first truly usable systems; its SprintCam not only captures extreme slo-mo—up to 5000 frames per second—but it looks good doing it via canny uprezing technology by the Belgium-based company. SprintCam uses the Japanese-designed Photron APX RS color camera, which turned up at a few past trade shows. However, the Photron camera itself has fairly limited use, mainly for machine inspection or other highly controllable niche applications. The company has just opened a San Jose, Calif. branch office.
