Emmanuel Rietsch's SlowMoCam3D
2018/01 first prototype
2018/10 first camera completed with carbon or aluminium case

 

Miscellaneous General Characteristics :

 

Size : 18 x 10 x 6 cm, weight 540g (battery is external)

Lenses diameter 50 mm, x 2, 18-35 mm zoom, no filter threads

Center to center base distance 11.5 cm

Removable IR-Cut filter (with piezo) for NIR (near infrared pictures)

Stabilization : Not available.

f-stop from 2.8 to 12

Sensors : CMOS, 16:9 format : 16.7 x 9 mm, 1920 x 1080, 1080p (progressive)

ADC 8b (native 12b converted to 16b option)

Slot for µSD, internal copies via copy-paste from memory

External connectics USB III 300Mb/sec

Internal memory (non volatile buffer) 8 TB !

Focus : Auto, manual, plus x/y/z displacements.

Speeds from 1/8000 sec to BULB with Auto, A mode, S mode, M full manual mode

ISO Auto, Manual (100 to 8000 with special 22000 Boost mode, I2C mode 7, 1.4V to 3.V). Visible noise starting really at 12000+

Extremely fast synch of the both channels

Synch mode transfer mode with Windows software

Savings of files :

- folders "Pictures" and "Videos" : Pictures\YYYY\MM\DD and Videos\YYYY\MM\DD
- File names : YYYYMMJJhhmmssmsmsms
- Converted files from RAW have a prefix "Converted-"

3D Screen (no glasses required) with functions Menu and visualisation of captures (live optional, reduces speed by 2 x)

 

Power supplies (not yet optimized) :

Input : 9.6 to 19.6V
External battery !
Recommended 110-240V external power supply 19.6V, 6 A working with lithium battery 11.7V 10000 mAh

 

Photos :

Output formats :

2D : BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG

3D : BMP, JPG, TIFF, PNG, MPO

RAW 12b to be discussed (in high speed t° goes to 90° in 3s ... inside Samsung specs for 500 -1200 Mb/sec !)

For each of those formats you can choose compression with quality 70 - 100

Exposure down to 0.000062 sec (62 µsec)

Burst mode up to 16 000 / sec until memory full

 

Videos :

3D HD stereo in 2 different fluxes (2 files)

Output formats :
Software internal & for PC/Windows to convert to AVI, SER (12b converted 16b option to be discussed)

USB modes :

- Webcam mode in project
- Disk access

 

High Speed / Slow Motion Modes (tested values) :

- without live display --> Full Frame (2048 x 2048) up to 1000 FPS, if using only 1 sensor quadrant speed increases up to 10000 FPS with no duplicated frames !
- with live display --> 50% speeds

Max speed 10 000 FPS 1080 x 720 in 3D
