No PC or separate camera controller is required for camera operation. Mega Speed’s fastest portable 1080P 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 V3 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 V3 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 V3’s Direct-To-Drive technology different from other camera models that can save realtime video to a SATA SSD? It is the speed at which the MAX V3 can do it. The Mega Speed MAX V3 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 V3’s Direct-To-Drive technology is one of several standout features from this new cameras design.

Features:

  • No PC or controller required for camera operation. The most advanced workflow architecture available. The MAX V3 features a huge 7 inch 1080P high resolution multi-touch display screen. You can clearly see key points of interest in your recorded video. The MAX V3 screen is 2 to 5 times larger and 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 to see what is going on. The MAX V3 screen is large enough to analyse, edit, compress and archive your high speed video right on the MAX V3.
  • The MAX V3 is built with enterprise class solid state drives that are much faster than SATA solid state drives. The MAX V3 can save HD quality video at 1000fps for minutes or hours without stopping. Every press of the record button while in Direct-To-Drive mode permanently saves the high speed video in real time.
  • Trying to manage a few second recording loop and then waiting for the download to finish before your next recording can start are now history. The MAX V3 opens up high speed trouble shooting and cinematic video shoots never before possible. These write speeds are like having a 10Gige fiber link back to a main frame at your disposal except its all designed inside the Mega Speed MAX V3. The high power MAX V3 processor even lets you record RAW or compressed video at a reasonable speed right to the attached SuperSpeed USB stick for extra drive space!
  • For those applications that need the MAX V3’s top recording speeds we have included built in high speed SDRAM for your shorter high speed bursts. The Mega Speed MAX V3’s top speed at full 1920 x1080P resolution is an incredible 3000fps. After the recording is done you can leave the video stored on the MAX V3 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 choose to leave the video files in Raw format or compress them while you transfer.
  • The Mega Speed MAX V3 features a convenient DisplayPort for applications that require an external monitor feed.
  • The Mega Speed MAX V3 custom cable set has all the standard I/O ports to accept incoming triggers, sync signals, ADC data and IRIG time codes.

1920 1080 3,000 2.5 / 5 / 7.5
1280 1024 3,100 4 / 8 / 12

640 480 6,400 7.5 / 15 / 22.5

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.
