High Speed Video Capture
siliconcoach is now an official supplier of the Casio Exilim High Speed Camera - this deal brings many advantages to potential users of this award winning product. Capturing video is one thing, the ability to review and analyze is another, particularly if the footage captured is at a high frame rate this is where siliconcoach comes into play.
The headlines:
The EX-F1 can capture video at a standard 30fps or at high speed 300, 600 or 1200 fps additionally still photos can be captured up to 60fps.
What does this mean to me? If you wish to capture a high speed action e.g. a golf swing - by recording at a high speed rate you will have the ability to review in greater detail with clarity (no blurring of image) the very discrete aspect of the skill performed in a super slow motion therefore having a more accurate picture of what is actually occurring a single point within that skill.
Playback.Capture is very important BUT you need to be able to review your footage, this is where siliconcoach comes into play. Recently we have made some changes to our Pro 7 software that will allow you to review the captured high speed footage at 300fps , we are investigating the support for 600, and 1200 fps footage - it is worth noting however that 300fps will in most cases be more than sufficient for capturing action/motion movements.
A simple step by step guide has been created to show you how to import high speed video from the EX-F1 into Pro 7, please see document below.
