Industrial cameras adopt GigE Vision

An Adept Electronic Solutions product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 12, 2008

GigE Vision-compliant cameras feature high-quality high-sensitivity two-thirds-inch sensors and are specifically designed for industrial imaging in a wide range of applications.

Dalsa has added two new models to its Genie GigE Vision-compliant camera family available from Adept Electronic Solutions.

The Genie C1410 and Genie M1410 cameras feature high-quality high-sensitivity two-thirds-inch sensors and are specifically designed for industrial imaging in a wide range of applications.

The Genie 1410 features a two-thirds-inch CCD sensor from Sony (ICX285) and is available in colour (C1410) and monochrome (M1410) versions running at 22 frames per second.

Additional features include: global electronic shutter with exposure control, onboard flat-field correction, and onboard colour conversion (used by the colour model) to produce crisp and clear images.

The GigE Vision camera acts as a single machine vision component - integrating both advanced camera and board image acquisition technologies in one small package.

The camera features an RJ45 ruggedised screw mount cable connector ideal for robotics applications.

One of the primary application areas for these small, high sensitivity cameras is within intelligent transportation systems (ITS), to automate traffic management, traffic enforcement and tolling.

Machine vision systems support ITS by automating the monitoring and enforcement of traffic laws at red lights, toll booths and for speeding.

ITS systems can also be used to automatically locate, identify, and physically measure a vehicle, and can use optical character recognition (OCR) to read its licence plate.

This can aid in finding stolen cars, and assist in finding other criminal suspects.

Like all Genie cameras, the C1410 and M1410 are certified GigE Vision compliant, and are based on the AIA GigE Vision standard to directly link the camera to a PC.

These new Genie cameras take full advantage of Gigabit Ethernet technology, transmitting data over standard Cat5e and Cat6 cables to distances of up to 100m allowing for a greater distance between the camera and inspection system.

Dalsa continues to lead the deployment of the GigE Vision standard in terms of adopting the technology into their product development efforts.

The Genie C1410 and M1410 cameras are supported by Dalsa's Sapera Essential software and its Genie Framework package for fast and simple camera set-up - from initial set-up to grabbing images in minutes.

Moreover, the Genie Framework employs Dalsa's advanced trigger-to-image reliability engineering, significantly accelerating application development and deployment time by providing developers with a 360-degree view of the entire acquisition process.
