The Miro 4 includes our own high resolution 800x600 pixel CMOS sensor combined with a maximum full frame recording speed of 1,000 pictures per second. The continuously adjustable shutter supplies exposures as short as 2 microseconds for incredible motion freezing control. The Miro 4 provides excellent image quality with your choice of color or monochrome sensors that deliver 8-bit pixel depth, (10-bit, or 12-bit are available as an option).

A built-in touch sensitive LCD display screen allows you to preview your scene, playback recorded image files, and it also serves as the control interface for adjusting camera settings. The Miro 4's removable external rechargeable battery frees you from mains power sources resulting in a truly a stand alone high-speed imaging system. This camera shares the same compact size as the others in the Miro family, making it extremely portable and an ideal choice for working in confined environments, or working cable free in the field.

Recorded image sequences are captured and initially stored in internal DRAM featuring a spacious 1GB (2GB and 4GB are available as an option) capacity. This memory can also be segmented in up to four sections when needed. Images may then be securely stored to inexpensive and removable CompactFlash media cards. These cards can then be read and downloaded to a conventional PC for viewing and analysis using our Phantom® application.
