reface:
This preface is intended to give you a general understanding of how your high speed camera
functions so that you can be more proficient in its uses and applications. Your new camera has
been extensively tested and "burnt in". This includes attaching a lens, battery and removable
media. Depending on the cameras case color, you may notice signs that a lens has been
previously attached to your camera. This is a normal to our pre-testing procedure.

The Mega peed HHC (Hand-Held-Camera) camera uses advanced high-speed electronics to
record high frame rates. During high-speed image capture, the HHC stores high-speed video in
the camera’s internal RAM in a circular buffer while generating live video on the LCD screen.
The camera is also capable of generating a separate HDMI signal that can be used for viewing
your capture on a remote monitor. On select models you may also attach a custom cable to the
HHC’s multi pin connector to use the camera’s strobe, trigger, sync in, sync out, and marker or
IRIG functions.
Once the user has selected a high-speed capture mode and has pressed the start button, the
camera immediately begins to record captured frames to the camera’s internal RAM. No
frames are stored in permanent storage until you stop the current capture, go through the review
menu and its saving process. For a fast save, you may select the “Quick ave RAM to D”
feature in the main menu.
After you have completed your high-speed capture, you can begin to save the video data from
the camera’s RAM to a U B stick, DHC card, the internal or external D Drive or to your
PC. Do not use an external USB Hard Drive as they generally require more power than the
HHC U B ports are designed to provide.
The Camera’s high speed RAM will immediately lose its data when the camera is turned off or
you enter into tand-By Mode. The U B stick, DHC card or D (solid state drive) however
will permanently retain its data after the power has been turned off to the camera. Only M V
(RAW format) files may be saved to the D to preserve the RAW data format).
Please thoroughly read the rest of this manual to understand all of the camera's capabilities and
installation requirements and procedures. If you intend to control the camera with a PC, a Gig-
e RJ45 port is required.
Note: Before you can use a new U B stick or D card with the HHC, you may need to make
sure the disk is formatted to FAT32. You can do this either by using the “Format Disk” button
in the HHC’s Advanced ettings menu, or by using a PC’s disk formatting tool.
This manual is divided into 3 sections:
HHC – instructions for how to control the HHC through its touch screen interface
C software – instructions for how to control the HHC with the PC software, through the PC's
Gigabit Ethernet connection.
AVI layer ( opens AVI and Mega peed RAW M V files) – instructions for how to use the
Mega peed AVI Player, to review M V files saved by the HHC, how to convert M V files
into AVI format files with the “ AVI Clipper Tool” and image analysis tools

1 HHC X2 - X9 Including PRO models Hardware details
To turn on your HHC, hold both the left and the right buttons on the back of the HHC for 3
seconds. The camera will take less than 1 minute to boot up. The camera’s left side red button
has two functions depending on how long it is held and what mode the camera is in. During
capture and review, for images with widths at or above 1280 pixels, a quick press will toggle
between showing the image half size or full size (useful for fine focus adjustments). During
capture, a one second or longer press will toggle the front work lights on and off. The camera’s
right side red button starts and stops a capture. Holding down the right side red button for 5
seconds turns the camera off. If the camera stops responding for any reason, you may press the
reset button with a paper clip to reset the camera (center picture above).
At the top center of the camera there is a Camera status LED.
The High Power work LEDs are located on the front of the Camera.
On the lower left and left side of the camera there are:
• 2 DHC slots – for saving video data to an DHC card. Class 6 or higher, 32 GB Max.
• An HDMI port – for connecting the HHC to an external monitor
• A slow speed U B port – for connecting a keyboard or mouse, but not for saving data
to a U B drive. Disconnect the mouse before powering up the HHC.
• U B ports – to save video to a U B stick
• Gigabit Ethernet port – for connecting to your PC to control the HHC & download data
through the PC software. (Not standard equipment on all models.)
On the right side of the camera are:
• trobe/Trigger/Marker/IRIG-B/ ync In/ ync Out multi-pin Jack. ( custom made cable )
o trobe out 3.3 VDC (active high)
o Trigger in 3-48 VDC (active high)
o Frame Marker in 3-48 VDC (active high), advances the counter by 1 on each
marker pulse. (Not standard equipment on all models.)
o IRIG-B The input line for the IRIG-B timestamp feature. ( optional )
o ync In / ync Out 3.3 VDC ( optional )
• Charging status LEDs – may be off unless an external power source is connected.
o Red indicates a possible fault with the internal battery or internal charging
circuit. If this light is on, then unplug the camera, place it in a cool location, and
try charging the camera again in 15 minutes. Otherwise change the battery.
o Orange indicates that the battery is less than 95% and still charging.
o Green indicates that the battery is more than 95% but still charging.
o If all LED’s are off, then that indicates that the battery is fully charged.
• 14 VDC in ( select models have a 10 - 26 VDC in option ) – This is the DC jack where
the wall adapter is inserted. The battery continues to charge while the HHC is in use.
Charge time is approximately 3 hrs.

2 HHC Main Camera Menu
2.1 Start
Press this button to start a capture. After you start a capture, this button will now become the
top button. Press the stop button to stop a capture. You can also start and stop captures using
the button on the right side of the HHC. If you use the on-screen-display (O D) button to start
and stop the camera, the menu will stay active, if you use the red mechanical button the O D
will close.
2.2 L D
Press this button to turn on or turn off the LED’s at the front of the camera. The LEDs will
automatically turn off or on when starting or stopping a capture. You can also use the
mechanical red button on the left side of the camera to turn the LEDs on or off by pressing and
holding the button for more than 1 second. Pressing the left mechanical button for ½ second or
less will toggle between 50% and 100% screen zoom while in image sizes of 1280 in width.
2.3 Reset RAM Start Position
When the Camera is idle, this will cause the next capture to start at RAM position 0. This is
useful after performing a test capture to determine the correct settings, and in conjunction with
the optional “Quicksave RAM to D” feature.
This is the software’s main menu.
From this menu all of the cameras control
functions can be accessed and controlled.
Pay attention to the top word in each menu so
that you understand where you are in the
menu tree.

2.4 Image Size
2.4.1 Custom Image Size
Press "Apply" to use the selected image size.
In this menu, you can set your own
image size. The black box represents the
sensor and its maximum image size. The
blue box represents the current image
size and location in relation to the
sensor.
The blue box will always be centered
within the black box.
The menu shows you the current
selected image size, max fps and
recording time at the currently selected
speed. Dragging the scroll bars or
pressing the scroll bar arrows will
change the image size
Press this button to open the “Image
ize” menu. Each camera model will
have a different selection of image sizes
available. Press the Back Button to
return to the "Main Menu" or press the
Custom Image ize button to set your
own custom image size.
10
2.5 Speed Setting
As you increase the capture speed, the maximum exposure time will decrease. This window
will show you the maximum exposure at the currently selected speed. The green bar shows the
capture speed, and the red bar shows the corresponding maximum exposure time available. Use
a lower exposure time to reduce image blur.
2.6 xposure Setting
2.7 Review Menu
This button will open the Review Menu, to save video data from the camera’s internal RAM to
the camera’s internal D, U B stick or D card. ee Section 6, “Review menu” for more
information about the ave Menu.
This controls the number of frames per
second captured by the camera. The
maximum speed will be different for
each image size. This window shows
you the maximum speed for the
current image size.
This is one of the most important camera
settings. This menu controls the camera’s
exposure time. The maximum exposure time
depends on the capture speed. A lower speed
will allow a higher exposure time. A higher
exposure time will result in a brighter image
but also induces more image blur. To reduce
image blur, lower the exposure time. You
may need to add more light, open the lens
iris, or use a lower F stop lens ( F0.95 ).
Always position the camera and lights as
close to the item as possible to maximize the
available reflected light intensity. The built in
LED’s have an effective range of .5M to 3M.
