Sensor Characteristics
Throughput / Speed
Exposure
The Miro 110 and Miro 310 are both based on a 1
Megapixel (Mpx) custom-designed CMOS sensor.
The maxiumum resolution is 1200 x 800, with a 20
micron (µm) pixel size and with 12-bit pixel depth.
The Miro 110 and 310 cameras are rated at ISO
11,100T (mono) and 1800T (color).
The Miro 120 and 320S are both based on a >2 Mpx,
custom designed CMOS sensor. The maximum
resolution is 1920 x 1200, with a 10 µm pixel size,
and 12-bit pixel depth. The Miro 120 and 320S are
both rated at ISO 8900T (mono) and 1100T (color).
Both the Miro 110 and Miro 120 cameras provide a
1.6 Gigapixel/second (Gpx/s) throughput while the
Miro 310 and Miro 320S double that for 3.2 Gpx/s
throughput.
These throughputs translate to the Miro 110
yielding over 1600 frames-per-second (fps), the
Miro 310 over 3200 fps, 720 fps for the Miro 120 and
1380 fps for the Miro 320S, all at full resolutions.
Maximum frame rates at reduced resolution are
400,000 fps for the Miro 110, 650,000 for the Miro
310, 250,000 fps for the Miro 120, and 325,000 for
the Miro 320S monochrome.
Depending on the model, the minimum exposure
time is either 1 µs or 2 µs for sharp, blur-free
images using a global electronic shutter.
Vision Research’s unique Extreme Dynamic Range
(EDR) feature is standard on all models. With
EDR enabled, each pixel in a frame will receive
one of two exposure times – a short exposure
for potentially overexposed pixels and a longer
exposure for pixels receiving normal light levels.

This provides detail in areas of the image that
would otherwise be overexposed. EDR is usually
recommended for monochrome cameras only.
The Shutter Off mode was designed for PIV
applications, and maintains a maximum exposure
regardless of frame rate. This allows for a straddle
time of 500 ns on the Miro 110 and Miro 310 and 1.4
µs on the Miro 120 and Miro 320S monochrome.
An internal mechanical shutter for remote and
automatic black references comes standard on all
models. This means each shot is properly black
referenced for maximum image quality without the
need to manually cap the lens or even touch the
camera.
Each camera model comes in three memory
configurations: 3 Gigabytes (GB), 6 GB or 12 GB.
The high-speed internal memory can be segmented
into as many as 16 partitions for Cine storage. (A
Cine is Vision Research’s raw image format that
stores all image data in a compact file.)
At the end of any shot, save your Cine to the
removable Phantom CineFlash storage media at
about 4GB/minute. CineFlash allows you to save a
copy of your Cine to non-volatile memory for later
retrieval, and avoid costly downtime while you
download from camera memory to a computer hard
disk. When done with an experiment, just remove
the CineFlash from the camera, insert it into its
docking station connected to a PC, and drag-and-
drop Cines from the CineFlash onto your computer
disk or connected hard drive.
Phantom Miro M- and LC-Series cameras are
available with 4 different interchangable lens
mounts, which must be chosen at the time of
purchase. Choose between a Canon EOS, Nikon
F, C-mount or 35mm PL-mount. The EOS mount
enables the use of compatible EF and EF-S lenses,
and focus and aperture can be adjusted via our
Phantom Remote Control Unit (RCU), Phantom
Memory

Camera Control software (PCC), or using an
adjustment ring on the lens mount. Remote control
of focus and aperture is a huge benefit when
cameras are remotely located and/or difficult to
reach.
Using Phantom Camera Control (PCC) software,
you can configure, capture, view, edit, enhance
and analyze Cine files. Easily extract still shots,
or convert Cines into web- and presentation-
compatible formats for sharing with colleagues
and documenting experiments. Use PCC’s
measurement tools to determine distances, angles
and speed. Advanced tools let you crop, scale,
rotate and enhance the image to get to the most
valuable information out of your Cine file.
Control your camera with an extensive suite of
tools in PCC via a 1Gb Ethernet connection, or use
the Phantom RCU and its easy-to-learn and easy-
to-use touch screen interface.
The Miro LC-Series cameras have a flip-out LCD
touchscreen for on-camera control and monitoring.
Camera settings can be changed with a few taps
on the screen which doubles as a monitor for live
preview and Cine playback from internal memory.
The LCD user interface is available in multiple
languages.
Advanced control signals are available, including
a Frame Synchronization signal (FSYNC) on the
camera back panel. Trigger, Ready, IRIG In, Video
Out, IRIG Out and an Auxiliary signal connection
(Event, Strobe, Memgate) are all available on the
standard capture cable.
Video Out is either NTSC or PAL on the Miro 110,
Miro 310 and Miro 120. An HD-SDI port is available
on the Miro 320S. And, a live image is always
available in PCC, on the RCU or LC-Series touch
screen. You can adjust the video to fill the available
monitor space for framing a shot, and then zoom
to a 1:1 pixel representation (center-cropped) for
focusing using the ‘Autoset’ button on the front of
the camera.
