The Hi-Lyte Low Profile Illuminator can be manufactured to provide illumination ranging from a concentrated low divergent, through to a wide angle near Lambertian distribution
Colour line scan camera has Camera Link interface
A new range of low cost colour line scan cameras combine the benefits of photodiode array detection with high speed CCD scanning and digital colour line scanning technology
This unique X3 structure offers three major advantages over the traditional mosaic array fitted with Bayer filters: superior sharpness as the sensor captures twice as much green as a traditional mosaic array; the colour detail is enhanced as full colour detail is recorded at each site; and no interpolation is required - this prevents unpredictable colour artefacts occurring in the image.
The HVDU0-5M is fully flexible, enabling the user to select resolution, raster size and speed from full resolution at 7 frames per secon to a single line at 9.25kHz.
The camera can be run in single shot or continuous acquisition with selectable exposure.
A still shot mode provides superior image quality in applications where the illumination can be externally timed such as in strobe or pulsed LED illumination.
The rolling shutter mode is used where the illumination is continuous either for acquisition of single images or for video operation.
The HVDUO-5M will automatically acquire a new dark frame whenever any setting is changed that invalidates the previously stored data.
The output from the camera is switchable 24 or 30bit RGB CameraLink, which connects to a wide variety of frame grabbers.
LVDS or USB-2 outputs can be developed at customer request. Request a free brochure from Pacer International ...
