Wave High-Speed Camera (2TB)
Wave High-Speed Camera (2TB)
Freefly designed the Wave to be the most efficient high-speed camera available. It’s small, light, and insanely fast. It has unique capabilities allowing capture opportunities that were never possible before.
Maximum FPS varies by resolution, but for typical cinema resolutions:
- 4K (4096x2176) - 422fps
- 2K (2048x1088) - 1,461fps
Wave processes up to 3,774,873,600 pixels per second continuously using a lightweight 5:1 compression. It sets a new level of efficient imaging, consuming less than 5nJ/px, or 5mW/(Mpx/s).
