New HD Output Series

These new HD Digital Output cased and board-level cameras are ideal for applications requiring direct-connect monitor viewing with High Definition resolution. This CCD based camera outputs a true HD 720p, 16×9 image at 60fps.
It also features the capability to program 28 individual DSP profiles and has a programmable on-camera push-button for manual control.

It is a direct replacement for the STC-HD133 model and features a new sensor and higher specification – but at the same keen price.

Bitflow Inc – 20 years on and still setting new standards in machine vision image capture

BitFlow Inc just celebrated its 20^th birthday and yet another new leading edge frame grabber is being launched. The Cyton-CXP is based on BitFlow’s brand new PCIe Gen 2.0 platform. To develop the Cyton platform, BitFlow started with a clean slate, and asked themselves, “what does a next generation frame grabber need?” Of course, it needs a Gen 2.0 PCIe x8 back end for the ultimate high speed access to host memory. It also needs a sophisticated DMA engine to handle the demands of new camera interface standards. New standards demand flexibility. For example, CXP cameras will soon be able to put out streams of random sized ROIs, something BitFlow’s previous generation DMA engine was not capable of. Finally, BitFlow know – based on years of experience of making frame grabbers – that it needs flexible and powerful I/O, triggering and routing. The CoaXPress front end is based on their Karbon-CXP, but upgraded and ready for the coming changes in the CXP standards. The Cyton platform is the foundation for today’s and tomorrow’s frame grabbers, be it CoaXPress, Camera Link, or whatever new standards emerge from the Machine Vision industry.

E2v ELiiXA+ 16k/8k line scan cameras offer both high speed and high resolution

e2v’s next generation of line scan cameras are setting new, high standards for line rate and image quality. Thanks to e2v’s recently developed multi-line CMOS technology, the camera provides an unmatched 100,000 lines/s and combines high response with an extremely low noise level; this delivers high signal to noise ratio even when short integration times are required or when illumination is limited. In the colour version, the 5µm size pixels are arranged in four active lines and dual line filter configuration allowing the camera to be operated in several modes: True Colour Mode with 10µm R,G,B pixels to provide equivalent colour fidelity to 10µm pixel tri-linear solutions with advanced immunity to web variation, or Full Definition Mode with a unique 16,384 R,G,B pixel resolution. 

In the monochrome version an outstanding data rate in excess of 1.6 Gpixels per second is delivered via a new CoaXPress interface, allowing for extremely high throughput.  This opens up a multitude of new possibilities for the next generation of inspection systems for demanding applications, such as flat panel display, PCB and solar cell inspection.
