High-speed video cameras can visualize high-speed phenomena that the naked eye cannot see. Although earlier versions used film, new types use a videotape recorder and solid-state imaging, enabling applications for high-speed photography in a number of fields.
Recent advances in PCs and peripheral digital technologies are enabling mainstream high-speed video cameras to contain solid-state-imaging technology that handles images as digital signals. To meet today’s ever-expanding scope and range of high-speed applications, cameras must photograph even faster phenomena...
