Overview

Phantom v641

The Phantom v641 is the second generation v640 camera. It is smaller and lighter than its predecessor and has a number of new convenience features requested by users. There are dual power inputs for battery backup or hot-swapping batteries when under battery power. The viewfinder port has been moved forward on the camera to make cabling cleaner and less intrusive. Two auxiliary power ports can provide 12VDC (1.5A) power for accessories -- and, each also has a trigger signal input available.

The v641 supports SMPTE and IRIG timecode in and out. A remote port allows you to connect the Phantom RCU directly to the camera (or use the convenient Bluetooth wireless dongle). There are optional On-Camera Controls. The camera comes standard with an Internal Mechanical Shutter for "hands free" session references and our unique Image-Based Auto-Trigger is also standard.

Versatile Dual HD-SDI ports give you maximum flexibility for video workflows and broadcast applications. The two ports can be configured as a single dual-link 4:4:4 port, or can be used separately as identical 4:2:2 ports. Turn on the Versatile Dual output feature and one port is always live while the second port can be simultaneously used for playback -- a key feature required for broadcast applications and one of the technologies that helped us win an Emmy award for technology and engineering in the ultra-slow broadcast application. Genlock is provided for synchronizing playback.

The v641 provides a 4 megapixel 35mm format sensor and greater than 6 gigapixels/second throughput. That means full-resolution frame rates of 1450 frames-per-second (fps), and 1920 x 1080 HD-resolution frame rates of 2560 fps. The minimum frame rate is 10 fps.

Take the wide view with our custom-designed 2560 x 1600 pixel CMOS sensor. The aspect ratio of the v641 allows you to keep moving targets in-frame longer and see more of the event you are recording.

Assessories

	Phantom Remote Control Unit Small, lightweight, handheld controller even doubles as a video monitor. Our new Phantom Remote Control Unit is a 5" life saver!  This small, lightweight, hand-held device controls your Phantom digital high-speed cameras as well as a providing a video monitor all in one package. The RCU supports the entire high-speed imaging workflow. Set up the camera, trigger the shot, view the cine on the LCD screen, trim to the frames of interest, and save the result to a CineMag. Without ever touching the camera!
	Phantom CineMag Digital high-speed imaging is memory hungry! Shoot 1000 frames-per-second with the Phantom HD at 1920 x 1080 and 14-bits-per-pixel and you will need 3.6 GB of memory for each second of recording! A 4-second recording can take up to 15 minutes to download via standard GB Ethernet. That's 15 minutes better used for taking your next shot. If you need higher speeds, record into camera RAM and “upload" the recording to a CineMag in seconds. The CineMag eliminates camera down time while saving your cines from volatile memory.
	Phantom CineStation Connectivity solutions for Phantom digital high-speed cameras. Use the Phantom CineStation connected to a PC and keep your camera free for doing its job – shooting high-speed scenes. The CineStation supports both raw digital and video workflows by providing a fast file download capability, as well as the ability to play the cine files stored on the CineMag over dual HD-SDI video outputs or component video.
