Vision Research has introduced a new model to its portfolio of high-speed cameras: the Phantom T2110. This new model sits at the lower end of the Phantom T-series and utilizes a 1-megapixel, back-side illuminated (BSI) sensor with 12-bit color depth and a 40 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The camera primarily targets applications in science and industry. At full resolution (1280 x 800 pixels), it can record 21,000 frames per second. ![]() Phantom T2110
As with all high-speed cameras, the maximum recording speed is limited by the maximum data rate at which the pixels can be read out; in the case of the new Phantom T2110, this is 21 gigapixels per second (Gpx/s). However, since this is a product of the number of frames per second and the resolution of the images (here, a maximum of 1280 x 800), much higher speeds can also be recorded at lower resolutions—up to 483,330 frames per second at a (special) resolution of 640 x 64. §PI32§:Comparison Back-side and Front-side Illuminated Sensor (By Cmglee - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0) Back-side Illuminated Sensor for Maximum Light SensitivityVision Research first introduced a BSI sensor to its top models in 2021 (TMX 7510 and TMX 6410)—now, mid-range high-speed cameras also benefit from BSI technology. Due to its special construction, BSI technology is able to capture more light and therefore offers better low-light performance than traditional (front-side illuminated) sensors. The light sensitivity of a sensor is particularly important in high-speed cameras because, with increasing frame rates, fewer photons are available for a single image. In traditional FSI sensors, the active matrix is mounted on the front side. While this simplifies manufacturing, it reduces the amount of light that hits the underlying photocathode layer, as the matrix and the metallic wiring of the individual cells reflect some of the light. In a BSI sensor, on the other hand, the photocathode is located above the wiring, increasing the probability of an incoming photon being captured from 60% to 90%, leading to greater light sensitivity and dynamic range. ![]() Phantom T2110 Individual ConfigurationBecause the images must be stored extremely quickly, they are temporarily recorded on the internal RAM, which can be up to 256 GB in size. For permanent storage, this data is then written to an (optional) CineMag V SSD storage module or transferred via Ethernet. Videos can be played back directly via SDI and microHDMI. The T2110 offers several options that allow users to configure the camera for their specific application requirements. These options include a UV-extended sensor, a CineMag interface, a FAST option for a 190-nanosecond (ns) exposure time, and up to 256 GB of RAM. ![]() Phantom T2110 As always, price on request—but many potential users are probably more interested in renting. Phantom offers several product lines of high-speed cameras for different applications (is high resolution with high color depth important, or is high recording speed more important?), such as the Phantom S991, which can record 4K at up to 937 fps with a data bandwidth of 9 Gpx/s, and the Phantom TMX models, which can record up to 1280 x 800 at 76,000 frames per second (at a data rate of up to 75 gigapixels/s).
