High resolution camera features on-board memory

Kane Computing product story

High resolution camera developed for machine vision features on-board memory to save camera configuration, extendable dynamic range controls, output controls, enhanced trigger and much more.
Kane Computing have recently launched the PixeLINK PL-A741 Machine Vision Camera in the UK.
With 1/2 inch format monochrome sensor, 1280x1024 resolution, and rolling shutter and synchronous (global) shutter, the PL-A741 is the ideal high-resolution machine vision camera.
With features like global shutter control and external triggering for frame-on-demand acquisition, the PL-A741 will stop-action capture a 1K x 1K image, with uncompromising image quality, 33 times every second.
The PL-A741 can be operated right out of the box with any system that supports the FireWire (IEEE1394) IIDC 1.3 specification.
Within minutes, the camera can be controlled by any IIDC compatible software such as Linux, National Instruments LabView and a host of other applications.
The PL-A741 connects to the computer via a single FireWire cable that supplies power to the camera and allows high-speed data communication.
No special or expensive frame grabber card is required.
The camera's two FireWire ports allow multiple cameras to be connected together ("daisy chained") on a single FireWire bus.
The external trigger allows cameras to be synchronised with external systems.
The camera's rich set of features and capabilities can all be controlled through software.
A global shutter and external trigger allow synchronisation in demanding machine vision applications.
In video mode, the camera's rolling shutter can deliver 33 fps at 1k x 1k resolution, 107 fps at VGA resolution (640 x 480), and 8000 fps at 64 x 64, all with a user-definable region of interest (ROI).
Full-field-of-view images can be decimated for high-speed transmission.
With the Developer's Kit, PixeLINK supplies an extensive Application Programming Interface (API) and camera control GUI for fast and easy application development.
Advanced features include on-board memory to save camera configuration, extendable dynamic range controls, output controls, enhanced trigger with delay timings, ROI sub-sampling and on-camera LUT.
