Vision Research Upgrades Popular Miro Line To Improve Accessibility and Ease of Use

-- LCD Touchscreen for Camera Control and Monitoring Added To Popular Miro Line of Small, Lightweight, Rugged Cameras

WAYNE, New Jersey, Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Research, a leading manufacturer of digital high-speed imaging systems, has upgraded its popular Phantom® Miro line of cameras to become a more portable high-speed camera.  This upgrade is designed to make high-speed imaging more accessible through ease of use and a smaller form factor.     

The 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 touchscreen, which doubles as a monitor for live preview and cine playback from internal memory.  The LCD user interface is also available in multiple languages. 

"The LCD screen was the most requested enhancement feature for the Miro M-Series cameras. We addressed this request with the introduction of the LC-Series. Vision Research continues to lead the high-speed digital imaging market with our innovation and response to customer feedback," says Rick Robinson, Division V.P. Marketing, Vision Research.

The LC-Series is available in the same models as the Miro M-Series digital high-speed cameras: LC110, LC310, LC120 and LC320S. These flexible, easy-to-use cameras contain all the high-performance features that science, engineering and research professionals expect from Vision Research in a compact, simple design. 

The LC320S is a breakthrough product for the entertainment and production market.  It has 3.2 Gpx/s throughput that equals 1380 fps at 1920 x 1200 with higher frame rates at reduced resolutions.  This camera has a 12-bit pixel depth and uses micro-lenses on its custom-designed CMOS sensor to achieve exceptional light sensitivity. It also includes a single HD-SDI port for alternate monitoring and workflow possibilities.
