Machine vision camera boasts triple XGA resolution

A JAI product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 16, 2006

Designed for machine vision, the CV-M9CL three-CCD camera features high resolution, progressive scan, chromatic shading reduction, a CameraLink interface and a fast readout rate.

Designed for machine vision, the CV-M9CL three-CCD camera from JAI features high resolution (3 x 800,000 pixel), progressive scan, chromatic shading reduction, a CameraLink interface and a fast readout rate.

The three third-inch XGA-resolution (1024 x 768 pixel) CCD sensors (Sony ICX204AL) allow for a compact prism design.

This permits a compact camera measuring 50 x 60 x 99mm, excluding the connectors.

Most three-CCD cameras require special lenses in order to avoid "chromatic shading".

The CV-M9CL features a built-in shading-reduction function.

The digitisation in the CV-M9CL is based on 12bit A/D convertors.

The user can select to output 10 or 8bit per colour.

In the 3 x 8bit mode, a single CameraLink connector is sufficient (base configuration) and in the 3 x 10bit mode, two CameraLink connectors (medium configuration) are used.

The CV-M9CL, designed for industrial vision applications that require asynchronous triggering, features several trigger modes and does not manipulate the color or pixel information inside the camera.

Instead, the CV-M9CL outputs direct pixel information, and the prism assembly features co-site sampling, in which all three CCDs are aligned to each other without spatial offset.

The CV-M9CL performs at a signal/noise ratio of better than 56dB while maintaining a frame rate of 30 progressive scan frames per second at full resolution.

All mode selection and external trigger signals are controlled via the CameraLink interface.

A rear panel LED assists in interfacing the camera, indicating the presence of power or trigger input.

The CV-M9CL is available now.

Volume pricing is available on request.
