High-speed imaging and slow motion replay is used to determine the effects of blasts or the actual firing times of blastholes, and the nature of rock movement. Delay detonators provide the timing needed for blasts under specific conditions.

The TS5 is a portable, battery point-and-shoot high-speed camera solution. There are four models to choose from with crisp, clean video. All models record over 3,200fps at VGA resolution and more than 29,000fps at lesser resolutions. Fastec said that with a base model starting from US$13,000, the TS5 is a cost-effective solution to record high-speed events for slow motion analysis.

Built for flexibility and ease of use, the TS5 can be operated as a self-contained camera or controlled over Gigabit Ethernet via Fastec FasMotion software on a PC or Mac, or via the built-in web interface on a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone.

The TS5 features both a USB port and an SD port for quick and easy image downloads to USB flash drives, SD cards, or portable hard drives. The built-in SSD provides up to 2TB of fast non-volatile internal storage.
