OBS

High Speed Film Camera System.

CONT

La caméra haute vitesse permet l'enregistrement numérique d'images ainsi que le visionnement de celles-ci à vitesse beaucoup plus réduite afin de pouvoir étudier l'événement enregistré au ralenti. On peut donc enregistrer les tirs puis analyser la séquence des événements. On peut même enregistrer les images avant le déclenchement de l'événement grâce à un déclencheur automatique. La capacité de l'image dépend du mode de visionnement.
