Abstract
We have developed the HyperVision HPV-X3 high-speed video camera equipped with an FTCMOS3 high-speed frame transfer complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. Compared to its predecessor, the HPV -X2, HyperVision HPV-X3 boasts up to twice the shooting speed at 20 million fps (maximum), three times the resolu-tion at 300000 pixels, and the HPV-X3 maintains image resolution even at maximum shooting speeds. In addition to accurate synchronization with a second camera, the HPV-X3 can also synchronize with external frame timing signals, simplifying control over exposure timing and creating more potential applications for the camera. With the ability to record images at ultra-high speeds of 20 million fps, the HPV-X3 can visualize previously unobservable ultra-high-speed phenomena. This feature gives the HPV-X3 potential applications in a wide range of fields, including leading-edge research and development of aerospace equipment, automobiles, and industrial equipment, along with fundamental medical research. This article presents an outline of the HPV-X3 along with selected images captured using the camera.
