First industrial camera with setup
through RS232
A new switchless automated imaging interlaced industrial camera is being introduced by Firstsight Vision offering enhanced performance and greater reliability in a compact size
Firstsight Vision introduces the new 'A' Series The 'A' Series offers "switchless" setup via RS 232C and software configurable partial scan (58-124 frames/sec.) for faster acquisition in applications where full-frame vertical resolution is unnecessary

IEEE-1394 digital camera technology without a PC
The Sony Digital Imaging Station (DFWS 77) enables non PC users to take advantage of high quality IEEE-1394 digital camera technology with its sharp low noise advantage
Designed for use in high-volume OEM and automated imaging applications, the A-Series integrates the latest in ASIC design to provide the first industrial camera available with setup only through an RS 232C interface, requiring no rear-panel DIP switches or internal camera access to configure the camera.
The 'A' Series eliminates operator setup errors by means of a new RS 232C command protocol that allows camera setup from your PC, a "dumb" terminal or hyper terminal software to be executed precisely the same way every time, an advantage in clean rooms and other embedded applications.
With the elimination of dip switches, the camera setup is easier, faster and error-free.
At the same time, reliability has been improved to 100,000 hours calculated MTBF (mean time between failure).
Other design features include delayed readout for multi camera applications and pulse width exposure for on the fly exposure control. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
