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
Digital frame grabber has enhanced features
The new Coreco Imaging Rebel Digital is a cost-effective digital frame grabber offering many new features not previously available.
The CV-M8CL uses the CameraLink interface for easy cable specification and fast data transfer rates and offers 8 or 10bit output via CameraLink.
The 1in progressive scan sensor offers 40MHz output using dual output and uses an RGB Bayer filter, the colour reconstruction being handled on the host PC to maintain the fast output.
The camera is designed to handle fast moving objects at high frame rates with high speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode.
In addition, features like burst trigger, reset continuous trigger mode, analogue iris video output plus knee and gamma function for single channel combine to make the CV-M8CL very suitable for demanding colour intelligent traffic systems.
The CV-M8CL has a resolution of 1600 x 1200 with 7.4um square pixels, and offers a full 17frame/s per channel, or 30frame/s using both channels.
Higher frame rates are possible using half-, quarter- or eighth-frame partial scan modes.
Programmable partial scanning can be used with a one-line interval for start position and scanned lines to give ultimate control.
The camera also has a one touch black level and gain calibration function for dual channel readout.
The onboard restart continuous trigger mode (RCT) will particularly useful for traffic control, as will the analogue video outputs for both lens automatic iris control and composite monochrome video output for CCIR/EIA monitor. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
