Mega Speed MAX V2L Hand-Held Camera
Mega Speed’s newest portable high speed camera features Mega Speed’s Direct-To-Drive recording technology which in many applications eliminates the need for traditional record/save cycles found in most other high speed cameras.
The Mega Speed MAX V2 camera can save high speed video in either one of two ways. The first way is to save the video to the cameras SDRAM for a few seconds, stop the recording, download the video and then record again. This works great for applications that require the cameras highest frame rate possible however it is too time consuming for certain other applications that require quick repetitive saves or long term recording at a slightly lower frame rate.
The second way that the Mega Speed MAX V2 can save the high speed video is to save it directly to the internal drive every time you press the record button. With Mega Speed’s Direct-to-Drive technology there is no wait time lost during the download cycle since the data is immediately saved to the drive as it is recorded. When saving this way the Mega Speed MAX can still save at a fast enough frame rate and large enough image size to satisfy a great number of high speed video recording applications.
What makes the Mega Speed MAX V2’s Direct-To-Drive technology different from other camera models that can save real time video to a SATA SSD? It is the speed at which the MAX V2 can do it. The Mega Speed MAX V2 can easily increase the continuous save speeds in real time by a factor of 3X or more compared to SATA II or SATA III drive technology. These fast save speeds are also handy while saving video from the cameras SDRAM which dramatically increases those cycle times as well. Mega Speed MAX V2’s Direct-To-Drive technology is one of several standout features from the design of this new camera.
Features:
- The MAX V2 features a huge 7 inch 1080P high resolution multi-touch display screen so that you can clearly see the key points of interest in your recorded video. The MAX V2 screen is 2 to 5 times higher resolution compared to the older technology found in other portable camera screens. There is no need to transfer the video files back to your PC. The MAX V2 screen is large enough to analyze, edit, compress and archive your high speed video right on the spot.
- The MAX V2 is built with enterprise class solid state drives that are 3 times faster than SATA solid state drives. This means that the MAX V2 can save HD quality video at 1000fps until the drive fills up. However that may take awhile since the MAX V2 can accept up to a 2 TB SSD inside.
- Gone are the days of a 5 to 10 second recording loop and having to wait for the download to finish then needing to set up for the next recording. The MAX V2 opens up high speed trouble shooting and cinematic video shoots never before possible. These write speeds are like have a 10Gige fibre link back to a main frame at your disposal except its all designed inside the Mega Speed MAX V2. The high power MAX V2 processor even lets you record RAW or compressed video at a reasonable speed right to the attached super speed USB stick!
- For those applications that need the MAX V2’s top recording speeds we have included built in high speed SDRAM for your shorter high speed bursts. The Mega Speed MAX V2’s top speed at full 1920 x1080P resolution is an amazing 2000fps. After the recording is done you can leave the video stored on the MAX V2 permanently or you can choose to copy the video to either the high speed micro SD card or to one of two Super Speed USB3.1 ports. Transfer speeds of several hundred Mega bytes / second make short work of video archiving important files. You can also choose to leave the video files in raw format or compress them while you transfer.
- The Mega Speed MAX V2 features a convenient DisplayPort for applications that require an external monitor feed.
- The Mega Speed MAX V2 custom cable set has all the standard I/O ports to accept incoming triggers, sync signals, ADC data and IRIG time codes.

There is no speed increase if you reduce the image width. You only have a speed increase if you reduce the image height. As an example, 1920 x 480 has the same maximum fps as 640 x 480. Image sizes are fully customizable in software. The speed charts only list a small sample of hundreds of other selectable image sizes.
