Messring Compact Impact Simulator (CIS)

Exceptionally space-saving, servo-hydraulic accelerator sled system to test vehicle components such as seats, safety belts, airbags. Ideal for retrofitting!

Breaking Bread in Slow Motion 3.

Slow motion sequences of the "Breaking Bread" event by Janine Mackenroth, which she started at the university of art in Munich, to point out to the worldwide problem of hunger and undernourishment. She did explode every three seconds an old loaf of bread out of 194, which she placed on a world map, representing each country of the world. We supported this with our highspeed cameras to create the slow motion sequences for a good documentation made by Florian Guthknecht (www.flowmotion-film.de). The sequences were shot in HD resolution with 2000 frames/s. The film is displayed at 25 and 200 frames/s.

Photonik Campus - VDI on the Hannover Exhibition

During the Hannover exhibition in april 2014 we have been present at the Photonik Campus booth of the VDI, which tried to attract boys and girls for photonics. A variety of situations was generated to record highspeed clips, which were directly processed after the moment and given to the visitors as a slow motion clip on a memory stick as a thank you for their contribution. Here a selection is shown...

Strokkur Eruption at Midnight - in Slow Motion

A photo and video artist has recorded this eruption of the gush spring Strokkur at midnight and the nice daylight pan shot of the waterfall Hraunfossar. Both recorded in Iceland with a pco.dimax HD highspeed camera in Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixel). Both sequences are displayed at varying speeds.

Smokestack Blast in Slow Motion

The blast of two Bayernoil smokestacks or chimneys has been recorded by a pco.dimax at Full HD resolution. One of the smokestacks was made of bricks and the other one of concrete. You can discover this in the way they fall.

High Speed Video Sequences for Music Clip

Ladybugs Take Off...

Various sequences of ladybugs, which prepare and take off for flying away. The sequences were recorded by cameraman Rainer Bergomaz from Blue Paw Artists with a pco.dimax HD at 3000 frames/s and 1296 x 720 pixel resolution. Within the sequences the before and after parts are displayed at 250 frames/s and when the ladybug starts to unfold its wings the display speed is reduced to 25 frames/s. And a sequence with a water drop falling onto a flower is included.

Magic Drops in Slow Motion 4.

Rainer Bergomaz (Blue Paw Artists) and Daniel Nimmervoll (nimmervoll.org) have recorded more nice sequences of falling and jumping drops in slow motion with a pco.dimax HD highspeed camera. Enjoy the liquid beauty of drops...

Airbag inflation (stereo set-up)

A first result from some airbag inflation testing, which we did with our partners from SOLVing3D and IES electronic development. The sequence was recorded with two monochrome pco.dimax cameras at 5000 frames/s and 912 x 912 pixel resolution in a stereo set-up.

STS-135 Last Space Shuttle start in slow motion

The last start of a space shuttle in july 2011 was recorded by NASA with two pco.dimax highspeed cameras at full resolution (2016 x 2016 pixel) with 200 frames/s. The video clip shows the sequence of one of the cameras at different display speeds: 200 frames/s - 25 frames/s - 100 frames/s. The cameras were following the space shuttle rise.

butterflies - bee - wasp

Some slow motion sequences of butterflies, a bee and a wasp recorded at different frame rates in full HD with a pco.dimax high speed camera.

light bulbs drop

A couple of sequences showing how a lightened light bulb drops to ground with broken glass and fading wire. The sequences were recorded with a pco.dimax high speed camera at 2000 frames/s.

Kingfisher

Slow motion sequences of fishing kingfishers with partially underwater view, taken with a pco.dimax HD+ by Rainer Bergomaz from Blue Paw Artists.

Birds in slow motion

A couple of sequences showing bird flights in slow motion were recorded with pco.dimax high speed cameras in Full HD. The frame rate varied between 500 frames/s - 2000 frames/s.

Space Shuttle starts at night...

The image sequence was recorded by NASA during the space shuttle launch in August 2009 with a pco.dimax. It was taken at full resolution of 2016 x 2016 pixel and 400 fps, but the clip shows an HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) extract of it. In the first and last part the video runs at real time with 25 frames/s displayed (which causes undersampling due to American power net frequency). In the middle part there is a zoom in and out within the recorded data, to show the high resolution. The camera was mounted in a distance of 300m away from the launch on a solid platform, nevertheless the vibration due to the ignition of the rocket can be clearly seen. During the generation of the video the conversion scaling was changed due to increasing light (can be seen as sudden change to darker images).

Mentos in Coke...

What happens, if a piece of Mentos falls into a fresh bottle of Coke light - watch it with more than Full HD (2016 x 2016 pixel) at 1100 frames per second.

Eagle catches in the water

Wall street crash...

These toy cars crashed in a Vision 2008 show demo through a loose brick wall. The event was recorded at Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixel) with 2000 fps.

Popcorn in Slow Motion

A pan with popcorn is recorded with a high speed camera pco.dimax with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixel) at 2000 frames/s. Still the "popping" of the corn is a pretty fast event.

Summer Husky "Sledge"

For Husky training in summer in Northern Germany, a small high performance mountainbike manufacturer Alutech modified one of their bikes, such that two Huskies can pull bike and cyclist for training purposes. Recorded With Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixel) at 2200 frames per second.

scientific CMOS pco.edge - high dynamic and sensitivity (sCMOS)

A low light sequence out of the lab window was taken in the dawn at 100 frames/s and 2560 x 2160 Pixel with our scientific CMOS (sCMOS) color camera pco.edge. The sequence is displayed three times at different levels of 16bit to 8bit scaling to show the details, which the pco.edge is able to detect in available light scenes.
