Photon Focus's range of high performance CMOS cameras include some of the fastest area scan cameras on the market
Firstsight Vision is pleased to announce the availability in the UK of Photon Focus's range of high performance CMOS cameras in the UK.
The range of over 15 models include some of the fastest area scan cameras on the market providing both standard resolution cameras with frame rates up to 350 fps and Megapixel cameras with full frame rates of up to 160 fps.
The CMOS implementation has a number of key features not found in standard cameras such as region of interest readout enabling frame rates of up to 1180 fps and Linlog Technology providing up to 120dB of dynamic range ideal for applications such as traffic analysis. The cameras are available with Camera Link and LVDS interfaces with some slower models also offering an analogue interface.
In addition to the traditional cameras, the range also includes a PC based smart camera.
Measuring only 80mm x 55mm x 145mm the PC Cam features a 1k x 1k 100 frame per second CMOS sensor and a PIII 700MHz processor.
Many different software toolkits are supported, including Common Vision Blox, the market leading machine vision development environment which is available from Firstsight Vision, and the operating system can be chosen from Win XP, Linux and VXWorks.
Firstsight Vision offer a comprehensive range of cabling and interface solutions for these cameras with inbuilt pixel and fixed pattern correction essential when building an optimised system based around CMOS technology
