Mikrotron's new MotionBLITZ LTR2 is a portable high-speed video system for long-term recording. Applications include, for example, the observation of the behaviour of turbulence in fluids and gases, of fine dust in vacuum, observations in medical diagnostics, and motion studies in sports. Mobile long-term high-speed recordings are of great significance for the optimisation of processes in industrial fabrication and quality control. The system permits the storage of data directly to the hard drive to eliminate download waiting time. The recorder is continuously available for a recording time of up to 55 minutes. This is particularly beneficial in costly test series. Integrated into the robust housing there is a PC with the Windows 7 Version 64-bit operating system, very fast hard drive storage, MotionBlitz Director2 operating software, as well as the high-performance Full Camera Link Framegrabber camera interface. The compact (63 x 63 x 47mm) light-sensitive camera from the EoSens series can handle video recordings of up to 55 minutes at a full image resolution of 1696 (H) x 1710 (V) pixels and 120fps (frames per second). The option of data reduction extends the longer recording time. The integrated RoI function (Region of Interest) - with variable layout of the image field in terms of position, resolution, and speed - offers recording frequencies of up to 35,000fps. The optionally engaged non-linear dynamic adaptation can extract very precise image details even under extreme conditions of light/dark differences. The Full Camera Link high-performance interface saves images from the camera in real time to the ring memory hard drive system of the PC. Images can be stored in BMP, AVI, TIF, DNG, JPG, PNG, and REC (Mikrotron's own RAW) formats. The intuitive user interface of the MotionBLITZ Director2 software enables display of external data in each individual image. The intelligent ImageBLITZ trigger system offers sensor functions in the live image. The LTR2 portable is delivered as a ready-to-run complete system with a high-speed CMOS digital camera.
