Ratios:
Speed | In (motor, turns) | Out (camera, turns) | Input RPM | Output RPM | FPS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | 1 | 6000 | 6000 | 96 |
2 | 1 | 0,667 | 6000 | 4002 | 64 |
3 | 1 | 0,5 | 6000 | 3000 | 48 |
4 | 1 | 0,25 | 6000 | 1500 | 24 |
R | 1 | 0,198 | 6000 | 1180 | 19 |
One turn of the shaft on camera side correspond to one frame.
So with corrected calculations we should get:
FPS | “real” RPM | Gearbox output calculation |
---|---|---|
96 | 5760 | 6000 |
64 | 3840 | 4002 |
48 | 2880 | 3000 |
24 | 1440 | 1500 |
