CCD cameras provide progressive scanning

An Adept Electronic Solutions product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 7, 2007

The JAI CB-140MCL/CM-140MCL features a large, high-sensitivity half-inch CCD sensor and operates at up to 31 frames a second at full SXGA resolution.

The CB-140MCL and CM-140MCL are digital progressive scan 1.4 megapixel CCD cameras with a new digital Mini Camera Link (MCL) interface.

Based upon the design for Jai's analogue CV-A1 and CV-A2 cameras, this camera with features such as optional Power over Camera Link (PoCL), auto-iris, control tool and an automatic LVAL synchronous/asynchronous operation.

Both cameras are offered in either monochrome (CM-140MCL) or colour (CB-140MCL).

The JAI CB-140MCL/CM-140MCL features a large, high-sensitivity half-inch CCD sensor and operates at up to 31 frames a second at full SXGA resolution in continuous operation mode.

This differentiates this camera as one of the fastest high-performance cameras in its class.

The CB-140MCL and CM-140MCL have a compact 29 x 44 x 66mm body which matches the size of the analogue models allowing machine vision users to easily convert from analogue to the newer digital range without timely and costly mechanical/optical redesign.

The optional PoCL feature prevents messy cable clutter with its clean one-connector solution.

JAI's CB-140MCL/CM-140MCL CCD camera also comes with a smart automatic iris function making it suited for most outdoor applications.

In an outdoor application such as traffic infringement or surveillance the camera can automatically adjust to a wide range of light levels.

The JAI CB-140MCL/CM-140MCL CCD camera comes with easy to use control software for camera configuration and setup.

This connectivity from the software to the camera runs over the CameraLink connection and requires no extra cables.

The software communicates with the camera using ASCII commands so industry standard communications packages such as HyperTerminal can also be used or a user may choose to write his own communications easily and simply.

A new function implemented in the CB-140MCL/CM-140MCL CCD camera allows the camera to be triggered while the CCD sensor is still reading out.

Typically this would cause reset feed-through on the video signal, causing a corrupted image.

This new feature avoids this problem while still allowing for asynchronous trigger mode.
