Camera handles light and dark
environments
The camera's Gen III Ultra tube, which is fibre-optically coupled to a 2/3in format CCD, delivers low-light sensitivity, capable of resolving images at 1ulux at the face plate.
JAI has released the AG-7000, a new intensified (ICCD) camera for low-light applications The AG-7000 combines a high-performance Gen III Ultra intensifier tube with a small, interlaced CCD camera offering standard RS-170 analogue video output for easy connectivity to monitors and image acquisition cards

Camera resolves to improve machine vision
The TM-1325, newest in JAI Pulnix's line of Accupixel series cameras, is a miniature high-resolution (1.4Mpixel) monochrome progressive scan CCD camera.
Camera puts colour into machine vision
The TMC-6700CL is a progressive scan CCD digital colour camera that features a half-inch CCD imager with 640 x 480pixel resolution at 60frame/s.
It measures 45 x 51 x 87mm, making it one of the smallest intensified cameras in its class.
The camera's Gen III Ultra tube, which is fibre-optically coupled to a 2/3in format CCD, delivers low-light sensitivity, capable of resolving images at 1ulux at the face plate.
Full auto-gating is provided to automatically protect the sensor against bright environments and enable the camera to be safely used in a variety of day/night applications.
The AG-7000 is also equipped with an integrated three-axis lens controller for use with motorised lenses.
Operators can use a software-based graphical user interface (GUI) to remotely control the focus, zoom, or iris settings on standard motorised lenses.
Camera and lens control is also available via RS-232 serial commands.
The AG-7000 requires 2.2W under typical usage and temperature conditions.
It has also undergone more rigorous vibration testing than most ICCD cameras, to better ensure that it will stand up to real-world application environments.
Targeted uses for the AG-7000 include a wide range of night vision applications in the defence and homeland security markets, as well as selected applications in the fields of oceanography, medicine, scientific research and industrial automation.
