Phantom KT1240

The Phantom KT1240 features the latest back side illuminated (BSI) sensor technology at 2560 x 1664 pixel resolution, ensuring optimal response in light-starved conditions. These features make it ideal for advanced high-speed techniques like PIV and applications like projectile tracking and explosives research, where the increased pixel resolution is invaluable for capturing precise details.

Engineered for advanced scientific imaging, the KT1240 captures 4.2-Mpx resolution at high frame rates ideal for analyzing fine details and fast-moving fragments. Its compact 3.2 kg build reduces setup complexity, making it perfect for tight lab spaces and intricate experimental configurations.

  • Seamless integration: Programmable I/O capabilities let you customize triggering and synchronization precisely to your research needs.
  • Premium features: Capture remarkable detail with Extreme Dynamic Range (EDR) that effectively manages extremely luminous events.
  • Streamlined workflow: Save time with image-based auto-trigger (IBAT), multi-Cine partitions and continuous recording through PCC software.

Phantom KT-Series cameras come equipped with features that enable portability for remote field work and the connectivity required for both simple and advanced scientific applications in a laboratory or research environment.

  • Operate remotely in the field: Alternatively, use the camera’s on-camera control interface and save to removable CF-Express cards for a standalone, untethered workflow.
  • Standard 10Gb Ethernet: Reliably control and efficiently download via PCC software.
  • Designed for scientific imaging: The KT1240 performs exceptionally in advanced scientific applications with limited available light, including fluorescence imaging, gated experiments and scintillator-based tests.

The KT1240’s proprietary sensor technology features a stunning 2560 x 1664-pixel resolution BSI sensor where photons have direct access to photodiodes for optimal response in light-starved conditions.

  • BSI sensor architecture achieves a QExFF (Quantum Efficiency x Fill Factor) of 88.7% (mono).
  • Binned mode combines pixels for a frame rate boost and improved aspect ratio at 1280 x 832 and below.
  • Unrivaled performance standards: Comprehensive test reports following the EMVA 1288 standard provide clear verification of the sensor’s superior performance, highlighting the exceptional pixel response in challenging light conditions.
