The Photron NOVA Series camera is at home on the military range as well as in the lab. It combines the power and performance of the typical large ultra high speed cameras with the portability of the smaller traditional size cameras.  It offers high frame rates, high image quality and the highest light sensitivity in the industry, along with a sealed dust proof body and HD-SDI video out. For volatile environments, a removable SSD allows for extremely fast downloads, while an optional battery backup system allows for uninterrupted operation. The “High Dynamic Range Mode” of this camera is a game changer.
