FireWire camera uses latest CMOS sensor
The A600f is the latest digital camera series available from the leading European manufacturer Basler VC and distributed throughout the UK and Ireland by Multipix Imaging.
A 64bit, 1GHz MIPS processor with communications capabilities based on computer networking technology is the heart of Basler' s eXcite camera.
In addition to the MIPS core, peripherals such as memory and Ethernet interfaces are included inside of the processor chip.
This high level of integration is responsible for eXcite's compact sise.
The use of a Linux operating system on the processor allows the integrated hardware resources to function at top levels.
"The eXcite is the first intelligent camera that enables the integration of complex vision applications at high frame rates".
"This unique camera creates a new performance dimension", says Werner Borchert, Basler-VC Product Manager.
Basler's years of experience in camera design and production are demonstrated by the camera's high image quality.
The eXcite is based on a CMOS sensor with VGA resolution and will be available in both monochrome and colour.
The frame rate varies in a range from 60 to 180 frames per second.
All Basler's standard camera features, such as an electronic full frame shutter, area of interest (AOI) scanning, and real-time triggering, are available on the eXcite.
With a versatile interface that includes USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet and digital I/O connections, the eXcite is well suited for a wide range of industrial purposes in a variety of contexts.
Basler's eXcite is a flexible, high-performance platform designed to handle the easiest or the most demanding vision applications.
A free, CD-based installation package includes all of the tools needed for application development along with extensive documentation and sample programs that simplify the user's first steps with the eXcite.
Multipix is able to offer customer specific training and/or demonstrations of the eXcite. Request a free brochure from Multipix Imaging ...
