Building a slow-motion camera

[Hilmar]

Hey,

we are working on our own slow-motion camera since a while and are currently trying to get crowd-funded on Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thdevices/thcam-3000-fps-slowmotion-camera

This is our first attempt trying to make our hobby to a profession. Any comments or thoughts?

EDIT: Maybe some additional informations are from interest as well: As image sensor we use the Python2000 / Python1300 (Bayer RGB) from OnSemi, as FPGA we use a Lattice MachXO3, the RAM are common available SODimm 204 DDR3 modules (8 GB). For the connection to the computer we use a FTDI FT601 (USB 3.0).

Kind regards,
Hilmar

Image sensor: 1920x1200, 10 bit Raw CMOS
 Framerate: 240 fps (@ full resolution: 1920 x 1200), 576 fps (@ 1280 x 720), 1524 fps (@ 640 x 480), 3134 fps (@ 320 x 200)

Cool.
Any inspiration from chronos?

[Hilmar]

Hey,

yes, the Chronos project was for sure a big inspiration for us. Our focus is more on advanced reliable real-time Highspeed Machine Vision applications (because this is the domain we come
from ourselves  ).

In comparison with Chronos 1.4 we have a reduced max framerate / resolution, but at the same time roughly 1/3 of the price.

Kind regards,
Hilmar
