The Pixboom Spark High Speed Camera is a groundbreaking high‑speed cinema camera engineered for creators who demand true slow‑motion performance without compromise. At its core lies a 14.2 MP Super 35mm BSI CMOS sensor with a global shutter, delivering distortion‑free motion capture and exceptional sensitivity across a wide dynamic range — ideal for action, VFX, scientific, and cinematic slow‑mo projects. The camera features a Sony E‑mount, offering a wide selection of lenses for versatile creative setups.
Unlike traditional high‑speed systems constrained by limited buffer times, the Pixboom Spark records continuous RAW footage directly to high‑speed removable media, enabling unlimited recording time so your workflow never stops mid‑take. The camera is built as an all‑in‑one unit with a vivid 3.5‑inch, 6.22 M‑dot touchscreen, full 4K output, and professional I/O including 12G‑SDI and HDMI 2.0 for seamless monitoring and integration.
Performance is where Spark truly shines: it captures 1000 fps at 4K resolution and up to 1800 fps at 2K, while 3:2 Open Gate mode allows up to 670 fps for both horizontal and vertical compositions, revealing motion worlds invisible to the eye. Combined with dual‑native ISO and 13 stops of dynamic range, the camera delivers clean, detailed images from bright daylight to low‑light conditions. Its professional connectivity, including Wi‑Fi control, Genlock, and timecode, makes it ideal for demanding multi‑camera setups.
Designed for real‑world production, the Spark’s robust aluminum unibody and native V‑Lock power interface support both handheld and rig‑mounted shoots, while its intuitive controls and responsive interface make operating the camera fast and efficient. Whether for commercial, documentary, sports, or narrative projects, the Pixboom Spark delivers high‑speed capture with cinema‑grade quality.
