Introduction to the
CAM/CCD-2KCL.TDI & CAM/CCD-4KCL.TDI
High Performance TDI Line Scan Camera
1.1 Camera Highlights
Description
The Osprey TDI camera series is an ultra-sensitive camera design for use in line
scan applications that demand high performance under low light conditions. This
series of cameras is based upon Fairchild’s CCD525 array, which is used in the
very successful U.S. Postal Service Wide Field of View (WFOV) Camera. The 2K
camera versions have 2048 pixels in the cross-scan direction, with selectable TDI
stages up to 96 rows. The 4K varieties have 4096 pixels in the cross-scan
direction, also with selectable TDI stages up to 96 rows. The 2K Osprey supports
scan rates up to 46K lines per second while the 4K yields up to 23K lines per
second. Both the 2K and 4K styles have a CameraLink
TM
output. The
CameraLink
TM
output supports 4-port, 8-bit synchronous data. These cameras also
include sophisticated features such as anti-blooming, programmable gain and
offset. They are packaged in a very compact and rugged housing that contains a
standard M58 x 0.75 base lens thread. Optional (Nikon-F) lens adapter is available.
