The Phantom T2540 delivers the imaging power of the T4040 at 25Gpx/s for 5840 fps at full resolution. A peak Quantum Efficiency rating above 90% ensures the sensor’s ability to capture images at low light levels.

A major benefit of the Phantom T2540’s 4Mpx imaging is increased accuracy for tracking algorithms versus traditional 1Mpx high-speed images. The greater pixel resolution is well suited for techniques like Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and for impact studies, it helps ensure an accurate rendition of particle movement and shape.

The Phantom T2540 includes premium features to enable a variety of applications including:

Binned mode combines pixels to increase the vertical resolution of the camera’s top frame rates at 1MPX and below. Available for colour and mono, but the output will switch to mono on a colour camera.
EDR (Extreme Dynamic Range) provides mitigation for bright flashes by dynamically adjusting exposure in saturated areas of the image.
Programmable I/O to interface with DAQ systems and a variety of measurement sensors, which can be recorded and viewed as metadata in Cine files.
On-camera controls, video output and CineMag are available for remote, standalone operation.
