Did you know that the Maker Hub has a high-speed camera? Our Chronos high-speed camera is located in “The Vault” and is perfect for recording a video with very high frame rates. It allows you to capture events that are too fast to be seen with the naked eye, allowing these events to be seen in slow motion and studied in detail.
Videos can be saved in RAW, CinemaDNG, or H.264 codecs. For more information, check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page, and check out this video for examples!
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
