E-MAIL: Kimberly D. Duncan, k.d.duncan@larc.nasa.gov. A high-speed video recording system capable of frame rates at or above 250 frames per second. It is important that these systems operate well at these high frame rates under typical room lighting. Camera must be usable at distances of up to 125 feet from video drive/record unit. System should use standard VHS or Super-VHS tapes for recording. Record length on 120-minute VHS tape is required to be at least 30 minutes at 250 frames per second. A remote operation of the video recorder is required at a distance of at least 20 feet from the video record unit. However, this remote operation can be via a control unit connected to the unit by wire if a wireless remote is not available. A full monitor display height is required at the slowest frame rate at or above 250 frames per second. If partial display capability is also available at higher frame rates, then this is a desirable feature as frame rates of 500 or even 1000 will be needed on occasion. A zoom lens capability with a range of 10mm -- 50 mm is required. If available, a parallel interface is desired to allow computer control of the video system. The following hardware has been identified which would meet these requirements: Kodak catalog no. 1655885 or equal HSV-500 C3 NTSC System; System includes color camera and 5m camera cable, VCR processor, Y/C and BNC cables, 5.5-55mm F/1.6 lens, cassette tape, mating connectors for power input, BNC/RCA adapter, operation manual, and carrying cases for camera and VCR; Kodak catalog no. 1709757 or equal Power supply, 110-220 VAC with 110V 220V connectors; Kodak catalog no. 8344574 or equal HSV-500C3 IRIG-B Processor (one unit required per camera); Kodak catalog no. 1373901 or equal 10 meter camera cable; Kodak catalog no. 1524263 or equal 50 meter camera cable; Kodak catalog no. 1880541 or equal 10 meter operation unit (keyboard) cable.
