2997fps

2997fps is a term used to denote a high frame rate of 2997 frames per second in discussions of high-speed videography and motion analysis. It is not a standard frame rate for consumer video but is used in technical contexts to describe very rapid events or as a benchmark for camera performance. The value is numerically close to 100 times 29.97 frames per second, a long-standing NTSC standard.

In practice, 2997fps may appear in two broad contexts. Technical context: as a descriptive value for recordings made with high-speed cameras capturing events such as ballistic testing, fluid dynamics, or materials research, where very fine temporal resolution is required. Creative/online context: as a chosen handle, project name, or brand for individuals or teams involved in motion-focused media production or analysis.

Because the term is not tied to a single standard or authority, its exact meaning is determined by the surrounding text. When used in documentation or science, it often implies that the subject was captured at or near 2997 fps, or that a comparison to that rate is being made. In media contexts, it may simply serve as a distinctive identifier.
