Photron slow motion cameras were chosen due to their exceptional performance and proven reliability, and successful use on the PGA tour with CBS Golf (for which the ultima APX was awarded an Emmy) , Australian tennis Open, as well as a host of other television productions including the BBC-Discovery hit series 'Planet Earth,' 'Future Weapons' 'Myth Busters,' 'CSI Vegas' and 'Time Warp' to be aired on the Discovery Channel.

Capable of 5,400 frames per second at mega pixel resolution, the Fastcam SA1 is the most sensitive full color high speed camera available today. Please contact Photron for more information.

The Photron FASTCAM SA3 is a well built block of a high speed camera that has been engineered to withstand anything customers care to throw at it. Capable of mega pixel (1K x 1K) resolution to two thousand frames per second, the SA3 can withstand 100G's of shock and keep on working.

Aspect Ratio Often used to reference the ratio of width to height for an image in some standard format. Such as 4:3 used in conventional (native format) or 16:9 used in HDTV format.
