A selection of 1 inch format, ultra high resolution machine vision lenses for the demanding megapixel machine vision, inspection, and medical applications has been launched by Audio Video Supply.
Colour camera introduced for machine vision
The AVSPL-B782U colour USB 2.0 Camera has a rich set of features and capabilities all controllable through software.
Firewire-A and USB 2.0 is the current standard for many OEM applications involving robotic vision, semiconductor inspection and assembly, microscopy and electronic surveillance.
The FireWire-B enables the transfer rate of 800 Mbps.
In addition to increasing transfer rates, FireWire-B enables the cameras to achieve imaging results with less signal distortion, increased throughput, and the added versatility afforded by its backwards compatibility with conventional 1394.a.
The FWD Series cameras are available in monochrome and colour vision versions, extending the advantages of FireWire-B to almost any machine vision application.
Many models deliver full-frame images up to 90 frames-per-second and resolutions ranging from VGA (640 x 480) to UXGA (1600 x 1200).
Monochrome output can be set for 8 or 10 bit, while colour output at either RGB 24 bit, YUV422 or YUV411.
Camera CCD sizes are 1/3-inch, 1/2-inch, 1/1.8-inch or 2/3 inch.
Performance features include full frame shutter , even at random trigger shutter operations, to provide vertical resolution without degradation; tetragonal lattice layout of CCD pixels to facilitate faster image processing; and built-in colour process that provides Raw output, as well as RGB, YUV 4:2:2 and YUV 4:1:1 output modes.
All cameras are RoHS compliant.
