High speed instantaneous multi-image recorder

A high speed instantaneous multi-image recorder comprising:

• at least one video camera, a sensor and a light emitting portion located so as to be directed towards a moving object;
• a frame memory connected to said video camera to receive image signals from said video camera and connected to send images for one frame to a monitor in synchronism with an external signal;
• a strobo arrangement connected to said light emitting portion and actuating it to produce a plurality of flashes for one frame of the video camera;
• a first retarder connected to said sensor to receive detection signals coming from the sensor, the strobo arrangement being connected to receive signals from the first retarder;
• and
• a second retarder connected to said strobo system for producing said external signal;
• said frame memory being connected to receive said external signal from a second retarder, whereby said frame memory is synchronized with flashes emitted by said light emitting portion via said second retarder so that a plurality of instantaneous poses illuminated by a plurality of flashes of said light emitting portion within one frame of the video camera are displayed at the same time on said monitor.
