Rugged High-Speed Camera Phantom Miro R-Series by Vision Research

Vision Research, manufacturer of digital high-speed imaging cameras, is expanding its line of Phantom® Miro camera systemss to include a ruggedized body style. The Phantom Miro R-Series, the third member of the Phantom Miro family, is targeted at applications under extreme conditions where the camera has to stand high vibrations and shock besides a broad range of operating temperatures. The Miro R-Series is offered in the same four performance levels available in the other Miro body styles— 110, 310, 120 and 320S.

“Our new Miro R-Series gives customers another choice in camera body style, expanding the number of applications for the camera family,” said Rick Robinson, Marketing Director at Vision Research. “The R-Series is targeted specifically towards those that need a rugged high-speed camera to withstand severe environmental conditions”

The Miro R-series is ideally suited for applications in automotive crash tests, high-speed sleds and research of explosives. As with the other Miro models, the R-Series has an external rechargeable battery (BP-U30 only) and the popular CineFlash non-volatile data storage system. It includes flexible tools for both qualitative and quantitative analysis and is Phantom RCU compatible.

Key Specifications of the Phantom Miro R-Series:

• >100G shock. Tested with a sawtooth wave, 11ms, 30 times, 3 axes (without lens or internal capping shutter)
• 25Grms random vibration; 20Hz to 2KHz, all axes, 10 min/axis, in accordance with MIL-STD-810G
• -20C to +50C operating temperature
• 0 – 50,000ft (15,240 meters) operational altitude
• Image-based Auto-Trigger
• Continuous recording
• Auto-exposure
• Multi-cine acquisition
• Gb Ethernet
• Rechargeable Battery (Sony BP-U30)Junction Box compatibility

Furthermore the R-Series, the other two body styles included in the Phantom Miro family are the M-Series and the LC-Series. The M-Series is targeted at applications where computer control is preferred, such as static installations in laboratories or test facilities where high-speed cines are immediately saved to a computer for viewing and analysis. The LC-Series has an integrated flip-out LCD touchscreen for on-camera control and viewing of recorded cines. It is best employed in applications where the camera is used in a variety of applications, often requiring portability.
