The FOR-A FT-ONE full 4K variable frame rate camera recorded high-speed footage during NASA’s recent launch of the MAVEN, Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, spacecraft on a 10-month mission to explore Mar’s climate history. Capable of recording up to 900 fps, the FT-ONE captured 4K footage of the event with a FUJINON Premier 4K+ PL Cine zoom 75-400mm T2.8-T3.8 lens, the HK5.3×75.Program Manager at NASA Marshall Space Flight Centre Rodney Grubbs, said this camera was chosen for the shoot due to its very high resolution and smooth, super-slow-motion ability.
The FT-ONE also employs FOR-A’s high-sensitivity CMOS colour sensor, the FT1-CMOS, and plays back the full 4K 4096 x 2160 pixels. One output channel can provide QFHD – or four 1080p 3G-SDI – outputs while the other output channel supplies the down-converted HD-SDI for live viewing and playback. The FT-ONE captures images as uncompressed raw data on the system’s internal memory, which has a recording capacity of 9.4 seconds. This data is then stored on one of two hot-swappable SSD cartridges, each of which is capable of storing 84 seconds of full 4K resolution images at 900 fps. Its 4K extraction system, the ZE-ONE, frames and extracts specified HD scenes at any size from 4K sources using a touch-screen interface. Control software for Windows 7 or 8 computers is provided to enable touch and mouse operation. To simulate camera zooming, dynamic zooming effects at specific points and in various sizes can be specified in slow-motion instant replays.
