The i-SPEED is the ultimate entry point into cutting-edge high-speed capture. Packed with all of the industry-leading features of the i-SPEED Series camera, such as internal battery power, external xSSD recording, and remote touch-screen accessibility – and driven by the same massive HD resolution to 3.1 Megapixel sensors, the i-SPEED camera takes you into a whole new league of resolution and speed without sacrificing functionality.
All i-SPEED 2, 5 and 7 Series cameras benefit from the industry leading i-SPEED Software Suite 2.0 PC software for control, motion analysis, video editing and playback, which works seamlessly to provide a complete high-speed capture experience.
Jost’s has collaboration with Cordin cameras. Cordin produces either frame records or streak records, depending on the model. Streak cameras record a thin, wide line of light signals at the fastest possible speeds. They capture subtle variations in intensity from a line image, a spread spectrum, or linear array of discrete signals with resolution down into the picoseconds. This photographic instrument is unmatched in speed and resolution, with an ability to capture up to 4 million frames per second at resolutions from 2 megapixels up to 8 megapixels.
A frame record can be compared to a standard motion picture film or video, where successive two-dimensional images are captured by the recording medium in discrete frames. A frame record is produced as the camera captures images at intermittent intervals. The advantage of a frame record is that information in two dimensions is recorded, so the image on the recording medium is an easily recognized version of the subject.
A streak record is made as a single narrow line image is swept along the recording medium. This line image is produced by a slit assembly which consists of two transverse, closely spaced knife-edge plates located at the first image plane of the camera. Streak cameras continuously record changes in one dimension of space over time. A streak record is therefore read as a position vs. time graph.
The faster image converter type streak cameras are useful for time-resolved spectroscopy, where a point source of light is separated by a prism into wavelengths across the slit. The streak record then becomes a graph of wavelength intensity over time.
A valuable characteristic of a streak record is that the subject is being recorded continuously (not intermittently) throughout the event. To record efficiently, appropriate high inteinsity lighting system is also provided.
