The Phantom C540 packs C-Series image quality into a compact, fully standalone camera. Its low-noise 4-megapixel BSI sensor delivers clean, high-contrast data at 1,140 fps at full resolution. Furthermore, its 1-inch sensor format simplifies lens sourcing for tight, space-constrained setups.
With integrated I/O, onboard storage, and standard Ethernet, the C540 is an easy-to-deploy, all-in-one solution. It is designed for PIV, microscopy, biomechanics, and precision industrial testing.
The C540 features advanced BSI CDS sensor technology with ultra-low read noise below 5 e⁻. This delivers outstanding image clarity for reliable measurements even in challenging imaging environments. Its 4 MP, 1-inch sensor with a 5-micron pixel preserves critical detail. As a result, users get the accuracy demanding scientific and engineering work requires.
Low-Noise BSI Sensor: Ultra-low read noise below 5 e⁻ with correlated double sampling (CDS) delivers cleaner images in low-light and high-contrast conditions.
Precision You Can Measure: A flat noise floor supports accurate, pixel-level analysis ideal for PIV and high-magnification work where data integrity matters most.
Excellence in Limited Light: The BSI architecture excels in light-starved environments, delivering superior clarity when illumination is constrained.
A fully self-contained system designed for flexible deployment. Built-in programmable I/O, onboard target storage, and standard RJ45 Ethernet eliminate the need for external controllers or complex infrastructure. This enables fast setup, simplified workflows, and efficient data capture across a wide range of environments.
No Junction Box Required: A compact, standalone design removes tethered infrastructure, making the camera easy to deploy in constrained or distributed test setups.
Integrated Control & Sync: Programmable I/O, on-camera controls, 3G-SDI video output, and IRIG-B timecode enable precise timing, synchronization, and monitoring.
Streamlined Storage & Transfer: Onboard target storage with up to 63 multi-cine partitions, plus an integrated USB-A port for direct transfer of .cine files to flash drives.
Built on Phantom’s proven engineering approach, the C-Series delivers dependable performance in demanding laboratory and industrial conditions. Its ultra-compact 9.6 × 9.6 × 6.8 cm form factor and lightweight 1.4 lb (0.6 kg) body fit laboratory benches, test stands, and microscopes. It also fits space-constrained environments — with active cooling and a quiet mode that disables fans during capture.
Flexible Lens Integration: C-mount and RF-mount housing variants, plus support for M42×1.0, M42×0.75, and EF/F-mount adapters, matches optics to a wide range of use cases.
Rugged & Deployable: Preliminary 30G operational shock rating and standard 1/4-20 and M4 mounting points on all faces support reliable deployment in the field and lab.
Repeatable Results: Programmable I/O with external sync via F-SYNC or IRIG-B timecode ensures synchronization with other equipment, improving repeatability across tests.
MINIMISED MOTION BLUR
Global-shutter exposures down to 2 µs freeze high-velocity motion without blur, while shutter-off (frame-straddling) mode enables precise PIV image pairs.
PRECISION IN A COMPACT SENSOR
A 4 MP, 1-inch BSI sensor with a 5 µm pixel packs high spatial resolution into a compact format ideal for tight optical setups and lens flexibility.
CLEAN DATA IN LOW LIGHT
BSI architecture with correlated double sampling (CDS) drives read noise below 5 e-, delivering reliable measurements even in light-starved conditions.
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
PCC, PCA and SDK provide a seamless workflow from image acquisition through processing and analysis.
PURE, UNALTERED DATA
Raw .cine files retain every pixel as recorded by the camera, delivering unaltered data for critical analysis.
More than a standalone camera, this is the beginning of a long-term platform strategy. The C-Series is fully supported by the Phantom software and services ecosystem, so customers can scale from a single-camera setup to more complex, synchronized systems as their needs grow.
