Three optional camera heads boosts the versatility of this camera system for applications in medical, broadcast, machine vision, microscopy, endoscopy, non-destructive testing and scientific imaging
Toshiba announces the new high-performance IK-M44A, a remote-head colour camera system with a choice of three optional camera heads.
The camera's design, focused on versatility, high-resolution imaging and rugged mechanical and easy-to-install features, provides added flexibility for applications in medical, broadcast, machine vision, microscopy, endoscopy, non-destructive testing and scientific imaging, says the company.
Without requiring readjustment or electrical adaptation, the IK-M44A camera control unit (CCU) switches from any of its available three camera heads, helping users perform a variety of professional imaging tasks.
Customers can choose from a 1/3-inch CCD micro miniature 'lipstick' camera head (IK-UM44H), the slightly larger 1/2-inch CCD camera head (IK-M44H), or the C-mount camera head (IK-C44H) which is suitable for use with a wide selection of optics and couplers.
All three heads have high sensitivity for low-light usage, along with horizontal resolution (NTSC) of more than 470 TVL and more than 350 TVL vertical.
The cameras are remotely controlled via the CCU by a flexible cable up to 30m feet long.
Compact and lightweight, the CCU is ideal for space-sensitive areas.
The interlace scanning system has a feature set that includes an effective scanning area of 6.54x4.89mm (1/2 inch format), along with 46dB signal-to-noise ratio, AGC, RS-232C control, external sync, precise white balance, and an electronic shutter (1/60s to 1/10,000s) for fast moving objects.
