Description

Phantom VEO4K® high-speed cameras are compact, rugged and packed full of features. The VEO4K-PL has been customized for media applications with a black housing and features required for cinematography such as an optical low pass filter and PL mount. It can be thought of as Phantom Flex4K-GS image performance in the convenient form factor of a Phantom VEO.  

At its full 4096 x 2304 resolution the VEO4K-PL is capable of capturing up to 938 frames per second (fps), or 1000 fps at 4096x 2160.  A reduction of vertical resolution will further increase the speed. The sensor can operate in global shutter (standard) or rolling shutter mode for increased dynamic range and to eliminate the need for black references. With the maximum RAM configuration of 72 GB, at 1000 fps the VEO4K-990 provides more than 5 seconds of record time.

The VEO4K-PL includes all the features of the VEO-S model cameras, including on-camera controls, ruggedized connectors and compatibility with removable CFast 2.0 storage media. The camera is available with 10Gb Ethernet for an optimal workflow, and it includes 3G HD-SDI, HDMI outputs and Programmable I/O.  

VEO cameras are known for being built tough enough to perform in difficult environments, and are rated to withstand up to 30G as configured or up to 100G without the internal mechanical shutter option (which is standard on all models). The internal components are completely isolated which protects the electronics for long-term reliability.
