JAI's CV-M9 GE industrial progressive scan RGB colour cameras combine 3CCD RGB colour vision technology with the easy to use GigE Vision standard interface.
JAI today has released a digital 3CCD industrial progressive scan RGB colour camera (CV-M9 GE) featuring GigE Vision interface.
With the introduction of CV-M9 GE, machine vision integrators and machine vision users worldwide for the first time have access to an industrial camera that combines advanced 3CCD RGB colour vision technology with the easy to use GigE Vision standard interface.
The design of the CV-M9 GE is based on JAI's 3CCD CV-M9 CL camera, which is used in demanding machine vision applications across a diverse range of industries.
The CV-M9 GE is suitable for use in semiconductor production, food sorting, print inspection and flat panel quality verification, as well as in medical devices for patient diagnostics.
The GigE Vision standard interface, together with programmable GPIO (general purpose input/output ports) used in the CV-M9 GE, takes the trouble out of integrating advanced 3CCD prism colour technology in the most demanding imaging applications.
GigE Vision cameras use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and do not require a dedicated frame grabber in the PC.
This translates directly into cost savings and shorter time to market when developing advanced machine vision inspection systems.
Based on 3CCD prism technology, the CV-M9 GE provides full XGA (1024 x 768) resolution for each of the red, green and blue colour bands.
The camera features both manual and automatic one-push white balance adjustment, making it easy to achieve the correct setting for a wide range of colour temperatures and under difficult lighting conditions.
Alternatively the white balance can be adjusted by individual shutter settings in the red, green and blue channels, while maintaining a consistent and high signal/noise ratio in each channel.
The CV-M9 GE can be operated in continuous (free-run) mode at 30 frames/s or in external trigger mode.
The Edge Pre-Select trigger mode uses a pre-defined exposure time whereas the Pulse Width Control trigger mode sets the exposure time based on the width of the trigger pulse.
The CV-M9 GE also features a sequencer trigger mode that permits on-the-fly change of a combination of gain, offset and Region of Interest (ROI).
Another useful function is delayed readout where images from simultaneously triggered cameras are read out in sequence to avoid congestion on the Ethernet interface.
