Memory up to 288GB

More memory is ideal for long recordings and when using multiple buffers for your research. The internal memory may be allocated as a single buffer or divided up to 16 separate buffers, allowing for multiple recordings without pausing to save between recording sessions. More is better.

The i-SPEED 7 Series cameras are configured with the following memory and can be upgraded to 288GB for the ultimate in high-speed, high resolution data acquisition.

• i-SPEED 716 is configured with 36GB RAM

• i-SPEED 720 is configured with 72GB RAM

• i-SPEED 726 is configured with 96GB RAM

Frame Rates, Resolutions & Recording Durations to RAM

The i-SPEED 7 Series models share recording duration results at frame rates up to 5,315 fps. Optimal frame rates and recording times at 2K resolution are highlighted and FHD (full high-definition) resolution in bold for each camera model.

[1] Select from three trigger modes: Normal – camera is triggered manually or with software.
ROC (Record on Command) – press trigger to record, release to stop.
BROC (Burst Record on Command) – allows you to set the number of frames to be recorded during the burst. The trigger can be pressed multiple times until the memory buffer is full.

[2] The IXV format is a proprietary video format allowing greater control over bit depth and processing, but is only readable with i-SPEED 2.0 Viewer software.
