Pharsighted E9•150S Ultra High Speed Camera 

Capture the Unseen, Unleash the Power of Speed!

The revolutionary Pharsighted E9•150S ultra high speed camera offers unmatched speed and sensitivity to today’s high-speed videographer. Without a doubt, the E9•150S is the most light sensitive high-speed / ultra high-speed camera in the world. The camera’s backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor with 52-micron pixels provides light sensitivity of ISO 12232 160,000D monochrome and ISO 12232 40,000D color.  The E9•150S is capable of a capture rate of 489,000 frames-per-second at a resolution of 640×480 pixels, achieving a total system throughput of 150 gigapixels-per-second. Exposure times as short as 34 nanoseconds are possible with the E9 150S ultra high speed camera. The custom image sensor is supported by a modernized camera system that is designed to handle the most demanding of photographic setups in the harshest of conditions.

With an internal memory buffer of either 162G, 324G, or 648GB, triggering of fast events is simplified with either 1.15, 2.3, or 3.45 seconds of real-time record duration at full resolution. Included with every Pharsighted E9•150S is a U.2 NVMe SSD that allows for an effortless workflow, reduced save times, and virtually immediate permanent storage of critical test data. Additional storage drives are readily available and operate seamlessly with current operating systems.

The camera system also includes the ability to use active lens mounts, an internal shutter for remote black references, dual power inputs, rugged 10G Ethernet, PTP time code, six configurable I/O ports, analog input, dedicated trigger, and SDI video that are at the ready to meet any needs that arise out of difficult applications. All of this is housed in the camera body which is actively-cooled, rugged, and sealed from the outside environment.

Simple, straight-forward camera operation is provided by Pharsighted’s SLOW application, which is cross-platform compatible with Windows, macOS, or Linux. SLOW files, Pharsighted’s proprietary RAW file format, can then be converted into a variety of common video formats for distribution or analysis.
