FASTCAM NOVA S20
Model S20
The FASTCAM NOVA S20 brings together unique CMOS image sensor technologies and extensive high-speed digital imaging expertise to provide a camera with the flexibility to be used in a wide variety of applications. The FASTCAM NOVA S20 offers the user the freedom to select between 10-bit and 12-bit operation to enhance performance, with megapixel recording rates up to 20,000 frames per second (fps) and 16,500fps respectively. Both modes support a 0.2μs minimum exposure and a maximum recording rate up to 1,100,000fps at reduced image resolutions. All of this from a camera that is rugged, compact, lightweight, and provides the best light sensitivity in its class.

Standard features of the FASTCAM NOVA include an internal mechanical shutter to allow remote system calibration, a high-performance 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface for camera control and high-speed image download, memory segmentation that allows recording into one memory partition while downloading from another, and compatibility with a number of industry standard lens formats to allow the use of Nikon G-Type, C-mount and Canon EF lenses.
The FASTCAM NOVA also features a sealed body design that prevents dust and corrosive particles from contaminating sensitive electronics. An optional FAST Drive SSD can be used for the download of images at up to 1GB per second.
Intuitive and feature rich Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software is included with each FASTCAM NOVA camera. Also included is a Photron Device Control SDK that allows integration of the camera with user-specific software, and libraries for controlling the camera within a MATLAB® or LabView environment.
