Photron FASTCAM NOVA S20

Maximum speed. Maximum sensitivity. Maximum flexibility.

The FASTCAM NOVA S20 combines Photron’s proprietary CMOS sensor technology with decades of high-speed imaging expertise to deliver exceptional performance across research, engineering, and industrial testing applications.

Users can select between 10-bit and 12-bit operation to optimize either maximum frame rate or image depth. The S20 records up to 20,000 frames per second at megapixel resolution in 10-bit mode and up to 16,500 fps at full 1,024 × 1,024 resolution in 12-bit mode.

At reduced resolutions, the S20 reaches up to 1.1 million frames per second while maintaining a minimum exposure time of 0.2 microseconds.
