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 IK-TF cameras are compact, three-CCD, micro-prism cameras.
The series has three analogue models that share the same construction, as well as two digital models, all with a compact housing measuring 44 x 44 x 78mm.
There are three resolutions from VGA to XGA with frame rates up to 180frame/s making the range suitable for medical applications as well as demanding vision applications where a high degree of colour accuracy is required.
They all have a serial RS232 interface allowing settings such as white balance, colour temperatures and shading corrections to be controlled.
A membrane keypad allows comfortable manual configuration plus an on-screen menu.
The IK-TU 6x series of three-CCD remote head cameras offers a range of different heads with 1.27 or 0.85cm interlaced sensors that connect to the same camera control unit (CCU).
The compact size and light weight coupled with the high colour quality and colour correction functionality make these cameras suitable for medical microscopy or broadcast applications.
Other applications include where limited installation space and high colour accuracy are required.
The CCU can process analogue camera signals as either composite video, Y/C signal or as RGB or YUV signals.
A digital output is also available as a 3 x 10bit RGB signal using an LVDS interface.
All camera settings such as white balance, colour temperature or colour correction can be controlled via the RS232 interface, or the keypad and the on-screen menu.
Camera connection cable lengths from 3 to 30m between the CCU and the remote heads provide flexibility. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
