First highspeed videos

Hey, great news! We were able to record first highspeed videos with the new image sensor, in color and in nearly the full framerate the sensor is capable of recording. Let’s compare different settings (resolution & framerate): The first 2 videos are a fire from a blowlamp, with up to 480 fps (speedup x16 @30fps). To ‘spice it up’ we added some salt in the first video and aluminium powder in the second video for…

First prototype of the case

The last days we were working on the prototype of the case. The design choices of the final case are far from finished, but we decided to publish a first preview of the current state so far. This video shows the main components of the camera (connectors, screws, etc.) and the case. The final case will be made of aluminium and manufactured with CNC machining, but for a first visual model we decided to print…

Hello World!

Hello world! Welcome to our newest tech-project, a highspeed > 1000 fps camera. It is currently in an early development stage, but we were already able to receive first highspeed recordings (our sensor currently just supports black & white images). With the current image-sensor we are able to record in ~600 fps @ 640×480. Now have a look at our first highspeed video recording: With 320 x 240 we are able to achieve even higher…
