FASTCAM NOVA Series

FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K/R5-4K (NEW)

The FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K and R5-4K combine unique CMOS sensor technology with extensive expertise in high-speed digital imaging to provide versatile cameras for a wide range of applications. Available in two performance levels, the FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K and R5-4K offer 12-bit recording at up to 750 fps and 1,250 fps respectively at 4K resolution. At UHD resolution, they deliver 800 fps and 1,440 fps respectively, with a shutter speed as fast as 2 microseconds. The FASTCAM NOVA R5-4K can achieve recording speeds up to 200,000 fps at reduced image resolutions.

"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."

Standard features of the FASTCAM NOVA R3-4K and R5-4K cameras include an internal mechanical shutter that enables remote system calibration, a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface for camera control and high-speed image download, and memory segmentation that allows recording to one memory partition while downloading from another. The cameras are also compatible with multiple industry-standard lens mounts, supporting the use of Nikon G-Type, C-mount, and Canon EF lenses. 


Each FASTCAM NOVA camera includes Photron FASTCAM Viewer (PFV) software — an intuitive, full-featured application for camera operation, data management, and image analysis. Additionally, the Photron Device Control SDK is available to enable seamless integration into user-developed software, along with libraries that allow camera control within MATLAB® or LabVIEW environments.
