Firstsight Vision has announced the availability of an XGA output colour camera, which connects directly to a TFT or similar monitor and requires no computer interface.
The camera features a built-in cross-hair generator that provides accurate alignment, RGB and gain control, plus HD-quality imaging.
It is suited to applications requiring monitoring by a human operator such as product/process inspection, vehicle/aircraft control and medical imaging.
Since no PC is required, there are no mechanical or software issues and less space is required.
The camera is fully compatible with a wide range of monitors, including CRT computer monitors and the latest LCD and plasma displays operating in the standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9 formats.
It is supplied 'ready to go', complete with a compact power supply.
An enhanced version of the camera is available with four horizontal and four vertical cross hairs that are independently selectable.
Independent positioning and choice of colour for each cross hair brings increased flexibility to highlight multiple features within an image.
