CL.
The revision B cameras are updated with a new function, Restart Continuous Trigger mode
(RCT). The trigger can be H a-synchronous or H synchronous. Binning is now only vertical.
The cameras are based on progressive scan 2/3” CCD megapixel interline transfer sensors.
CV-M4
+
is a digital monochrome progressive scan CCD camera with LVDS output.
CV-M4
+
CL is a digital monochrome progressive scan CCD camera with Camera Link output.
CV-M7
+
is a digital RGB color progressive scan CCD camera with LVDS output.
CV-M7
+
CL is a digital RGB color progressive scan CCD camera with Camera Link output.
The color cameras use a RGB primary color filter CCD sensor (Bayer color filter). The video
output is a single data stream with the RGB signals in sequence. The RGB color decoding should
be done in the host PC.
The cameras are designed for automated imaging applications, featuring high resolution and high
speed within a uniform and compact housing.
The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode
allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate.
It is suitable for industrial applications such as on-line inspection and measurement.
Thanks to the EIA-644 (LVDS) digital interface, crisp and clear images are achieved.
The CV-M4
+
CL features the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface.
