IEEE-1394 digital camera technology without a PC
The Sony Digital Imaging Station (DFWS 77) enables non PC users to take advantage of high quality IEEE-1394 digital camera technology with its sharp low noise advantage
The CV-A436 uses the latest generation of VGA resolution progressive scan 1/3" CCD sensors, allowing for a compact head size of just 17mm diameter x 46mm length (same dimensions as the CV-M536 colour camera).
The remote head is connected to the camera controller (29x44x66) via a detachable robotics grade 2m cable.
The CV-A436 is designed around JAI's double speed technology, allowing high frame rate without sacrificing S/N ratio.
The CV-A436 has a frame rate of 60 frames/second for full VGA resolution, while maintaining a S/N ratio of >53dB.
There are several binning and partial scan readout modes, allowing frame rates up to 268 frames/second at 1/6 partial scan.
All setting of camera functions, such as trigger modes, readout modes, shutter speed and gain/offset level, are accessed via the RS-232C serial interface.
This eliminates the need for rear panel switches, which simplifies configuration and makes unwanted tampering by operators impossible.
The CV-A436 has a standard analogue composite video output, compatible with a wide range of frame grabber boards. Request a free brochure from Firstsight Vision ...
