1. What is Extended FPS Computation?

The Extended FPS Computation calculates frame rate using Mikrotron's proprietary extension factor. This provides more accurate frame rate measurements for specialized high-speed imaging applications.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the extended FPS formula:

Where:

• \( Total\ Frames \) — Number of frames captured
• \( Recording\ Time \) — Duration of recording in seconds
• \( Extension\ Factor \) — Mikrotron-specific adjustment factor

Explanation: The extension factor accounts for camera-specific performance characteristics and processing overhead.

3. Importance of Frame Rate Calculation

Details: Accurate frame rate measurement is crucial for high-speed imaging applications, scientific research, and industrial inspection processes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total frames captured, recording time in seconds, and the appropriate extension factor from your Mikrotron documentation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a typical extension factor value?
A: The default is 1.0, but Mikrotron cameras may use values between 0.8-1.2 depending on model and configuration.

Q2: How precise is this calculation?
A: With accurate input values, the calculation is precise to ±0.1% for most applications.

Q3: When should I adjust the extension factor?
A: Consult Mikrotron documentation for specific camera models and recording modes that require adjustment.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
A: The calculation assumes constant frame rate throughout the recording period.

Q5: Can this be used for variable frame rate recordings?
A: For variable frame rate, use the calculation for specific segments of the recording.
