Line scan camera boasts higher scan rate
The CV-L107CL was designed to meet these market requirements: a high performance, high speed 3-CCD line scan camera packaged in the smallest possible housing, using a standard interface.
Although JAI's principal business is developing, manufacturing and marketing area scan cameras, the company also has a long-standing tradition of making specialized line scan cameras One of these specializations is within the field of prism-based color cameras

3-CCD camera offers precise color rendition
JAI offers the CV-M91, a 3-CCD RGB camera featuring the 1/3" Sony ICX408AL imager in the NTSC version and ICX409AL in the PAL version.
High-speed camera features gigabit ethernet
JAI Pulnix's dual-tap Accupixel offering, the TM-6740GE machine vision camera boasts up to 200 frames per second at full resolution, and partial scan and binning modes at up to 3205 frames per second.
The new CV-L107CL carries this tradition on, and provides increased performance in a smaller package.
The CV-L107CL was designed to meet these market requirements: a high performance, high speed 3-CCD line scan camera packaged in the smallest possible housing, using a standard interface.
JAI has fulfilled these requirements by designing a camera with 3 x 2048 pixels resolution, 19 kHz line rate, flat-field and shading correction, and the option of individual exposure time for each of the R, G and B channels, all packaged into a cube that measures 90 x 90 x 90 mm.
The CV-L107CL uses the standard Camera Link interface.
The user can select a 24-bit mode, which requires only one CL connector (base configuration) or a 30-bit mode, requiring two CL connectors (medium configuration).
The CV-L107CL can be ordered with a Nikon F-mount or an M-42 lens mount.
3-CCD color cameras provide many advantages over the simpler tri-linear color cameras: In a 3-CCD color camera, all three color bands view the object through the same optical plane, through the prism block.
There is no physical/temporal offset between the color planes, as is the case in tri-linear solutions.
Because 3-CCD cameras only have one optical plane, they can be used in angles of incidence other than perpendicular to the object being viewed.
This is a major optical challenge with tri-linear cameras.
The dichroic hard coatings used on the prism parts of the 3CCD cameras, separating the spectral bands, are well defined and do not have any lifetime limitations.
Tri-linear sensors, in contrast, use dyes that are not stable over the long term, and that do not have sharp cut-off.
The CV-L107CL will be featured at the Vision Show in Stuttgart, 8 - 10 November 2005.
The CV-L107CL will be available in production quantities in 4Q2005.
