The Kickstarter project for the Chronos high speed camera has in a few hours reach the funding target and already far surpassed ($ currently around 150.00 with a target of 65,000 dollars), which is probably on for a professional high speed camera sensationally low price located. Because since around 2,500 dollars Chronos is to have in the simplest execution 1.4, cameras like the Phantom Miro cost a multiple thereof. The equipment of Chronos with a data throughput of 1.4 gigapixel / s is possible manifest: the camera has a color 5 "touch screen for operation; a 1,280 x 1,024 CMOS sensor with global shutter to prevent a rolling shutter; an electronic shutter (1s-1 / 500.000s); a Gigabit network interface for remote control and access to the video data; audio informationand output along with internal microphone; HDMI output. The power supply for about 1-75h comes battery by Nikon EN-EL4. PIC 1: high speed camera Chronos 1.4 The video is in internal RAM (8/16 GB) recorded in the RAW format. Settings such Demosaic, the color matrix, the white balance can be made in the camera (however, this feature should be submitted via firmware update). The video can can be calculated either at the same settings and compressed in MPEG-4 format are stored - alternatively, the video course also RAW stored and processed on the computer. To clear your internal video memory for the next recording again, next to the Ethernet port are either an SD card slot, two USB host ports and one eSATA 3G connection to archivethe already-made video (in MPEG-4 format) for disposal. A touchscreen and jog wheel can in and out points are set so that only can be exported the needed images, saving time and space. The camera has a C mount, with an adapter but can also lenses of other companies like Canon or Nikon used. As always in such slow motion cameras, must -je be found due to the restriction for the length data bandwidth while turning the right mix between resolution and images per second bigger the dissolution the lower the fps, and vice versa. So the Chronos reached 1.4 camera, the maximum speed of 21,500 frames per second at a resolution of 640 x 96 pixels and the maximum image resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels at 1,057 fps - various other combinations
