Introduction
Miro C110
Camera Capabilities
The Phantom® Miro® C110 is a member of the Miro
C-Series family of small, flexible cameras designed
for a large variety of applications and analyses. It is
capable of capturing 1.2 Gigapixels per second (Gpx/s)
of data from the CMOS sensor. At full 1.3 Mpx resolution
(1280 x 1024), the Miro C110 can capture 915 framesper-second (fps); 1,295 fps at 720p HD; and at a reduced
resolution 128 x 8 the camera can capture 52,445 fps.
The Miro C110 has a C-mount and a sensor with small,
densely packed pixels to capture detail. Its small size of
72mm x 93mm x 82.5mm and light weight of 0.54 kg
make it easy to mount in tight places and on microscopes.
It uses standard Ethernet and BNC cables.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Image Storage
The Miro C110 is available with 8GB of internal highspeed memory.
Sensor Characteristics
Advanced Features
The Miro C110 uses a CMOS sensor available in color or
monochrome.
The 5.6 micron (μm) pixels provide a sensitivity, measured
using the ISO 12232 SAT method, of ISO 5,000T; 2,500D
for monochrome cameras, and 640T; 640D for color
cameras (adjustable).
Each pixel has a bit-depth of 12-bits yielding 4,095 gray
levels with high dynamic range.
Sensor resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels “wide-screen”
format. The rectangular shape of the 1.3 Mpx sensor
allows the user to keep moving objects in the frame
longer and is compatible in aspect ratio with modern
display technology. The physical size of the sensor is
7.168 mm x 5.7344 mm (9.18mm diagonal).
The camera has a global electronic shutter, with
minimum exposure time of 5μs.
Multi-Cine: The internal memory of the Miro C110 can
be partitioned into as many as 63 segments for shorter
recordings, back-to-back, without missing any action.
Image-Based Auto-Trigger (IBAT): The Miro C110 can
detect changes in an image which can be used to trigger
the camera (or even a number of cameras), making it easy
to record unpredictable events.

Continuous Recording: Automatically save cines from
internal camera memory to external storage, without user
intervention.
Memory Gate: An input signal which, when activated,
prevents the storage of the sensor produced image-data,
by disabling write-access to memory.
Event Marking: Primarily used to tag events of significance
during recording, to make it easier to jump from one event
to the next during playback, along with easing the process
of performing timing measurements of a recorded Cine.
Lensing
The Miro C110 has a C-lens mount that can be reversed
to accept CS lenses.
Command & Control
The camera is controlled with Phantom PCC software or a
handheld Phantom Remote Control Unit (RCU).

- F-Sync (input / output): Connect an external
source, including the F-Sync from a second
Phantom camera, to drive the camera’s frame rate.
Use in combination with Sync; External in
the External Sync menu.
• Available through drop-down box in PCC:
- Strobe (input): Signal goes low for the duration of
each frame’s exposure
- Event (input): When the Event signal is active,
frames are tagged with an Event marker (as
metadata). These events can be searched or
referenced during playback.
- Memgate (input): When Memgate signal is
active the camera stops recording into its internal
memory (frames are discarded).

• Default setting:
- Strobe (Output): Signal goes low for the duration of

• Available through drop-down box in PCC:
- READY (output): When signal is high it indicates
that the camera is in capture mode. Using PCC,
signal can be set to go low at trigger or at the end
of recording.
