120 fps is vital if you are analyzing any high-speed movement one frame
at a time. It has nothing to do with flicker.
If I sell you an ATM machine for your store, do you care one bit what
kind of hardware is in it? Do you care that the PC in it can surf the
net or do graphics work? You just want a machine that does its stated
task, costs you $50/month, and makes a lot more than that through
customer use.

Hi Richard,
Yes, I understand the 120fps thing but some marketing people were
touting 120fps as being the best for totally unnoticeable flicker especially
for 3D type application viewing etc. It’s overkill for the human eye
under most circumstances.
Since your buyers will know that it is an iPhone with a one trick app
that you are providing, it really doesn’t make any sense to have the
device jailbroken. Give them all of the functionality of the device and
just tell them which app to run. You avoid all of the pitfalls of jailbreaking
the phones and for updating the app. (No point to not allowing users
to use the other functions of the iPhone that they paid good money for.)
Without knowing more about your project to understand why you believe
that your device is going to earn the owner lots of extra cash, I really
can’t give anymore suggestions.
Hope the discussion was helpful to you guys in some way.
Good luck!
Rick

The slo-mo mode of the phone works really well. If you want to see regular
playback of a video, you can record at 30 fps. There is no point in recording
at 120 fps to see regular playback, as it will look identical to a recording
made at 30 fps. The only reason to record at 120 fps is to see slow motion
playback.
A $1000 annual cost for our device is a small fraction of what it earns the
owner of the device.

Hi Richard,
So, the person you sell your device to will have to
sign up for the Verizon/AT&T phone contract which
will reveal the fact that there is indeed an Apple iPhone
involved in the product? (Isn’t the 2 year contract about $2,000 total?)
If the product is not concealing the iPhone, then again, why would I
as a user want such a high end price wise one trick pony iPhone device?
Is the playback of the Slo-Mo at 30fps then since it is billed as being at 1/4
speed playback?
Not having said device in my possession this is a somewhat interesting feature.
(I’m curious as to why Apple doesn’t allow normal video recording at 120fps as
an option.)
Thanks,
Rick
