The FASTCAM Ultima 10K has been used in ballistic studies, airbag design and qualification studies, combustion studies, flow visualization studies such as aerosol dispersion and many other high-speed camera applications. The system could be controlled from a computer through an RS-232 interface sending simple ASCII commands. The camera cable could be up to 15m from the Processor. Ancillary information would be display as OSD (On-Screen-Data). Live video images could be displayed on NTSC or PAL monitors. Digital image data could be read from the Processor through a SCSI interface. And within one block, one half to one fourth of the block can be partially read out. The image sensor is divided into 16 blocks where each block is 256 x 16 pixels. The Ultima 40K image sensor reads images in blocks which is commonly called a Block Readout sensor. At 4,500 fps and maximum memory, the recording time is 5.46 seconds.
FASTCAM HIGH SPEED CAMERA FULL
The FASTCAM Ultima 40K processor came with three memory configurations that allowed full frame storage of 8192 images (512 MB), 16,384 images (1GB) or 24,576 images (1.5 GB). As an example, 40,500 FPS is achieved with a resolution of 64 x 64 pixels at 8 bits. By reducing the resolution, the frame rate for recording can be increased. The FASTCAM Ultima 40K native resolution is 256 x 256 pixels x 8 bits at 4,500 FPS. The Kodak HS4540 and the Photron Ultima 40K are the same camera, just different trade names. However, the camera was trade branded previously in 1992 as a KODAK MASD product. Photron FASTCAM Ultima 40K was introduce in 2000.

It is part of the Photron FASTCAM line of cameras, introduced in 1996. The Photron FASTCAM Ultima 40K is a 256 x 256 High-speed camera. ( February 2016)ġ0.24 mm x 10.24 mm 2/3 format NMOS Interline
