Progressive scan camera
FC1500CL / FC1500PCL
Camera Link-compliant,
1.45 megapixels, 15 frame/sec
Progressive Scan Camera
(FC1500CL)
Overview
- Progressive scan camera with 1.45 million pixel CCD capable of 15 fps readout.
- Video signal is output in progressive scanning (non-interlaced scanning) format, complying with Camera Link (Base configuration).
- Lower prices have been realized by specializing in digital output and internal sync-only specifications.
- End user-developed applications are available without change as it is highly-compatible with predecessors such as FC1500 or FC1500P.
- Various shutter operation modes such as continuous shutter mode or asynchronous shutter mode are usable like conventional cameras.
Features
- Vertical resolution does not degrade even in electronic shutter operation as all pixels are read out independently by progressive scanning.
- The trigger signal for strobe light is output from 12pin Camera connector in synchronization with the timing to release the shutter.
- Quad-speed scan and double-speed scan (FC1500CL) and partial scan for central part (FC1500PCL) are available in the continuous shutter mode.
- Three operation setting parameters can be stored in EEPROM.
- Detailed camera setting can be made by serial communication via CameraLink interface (SerTC,SerTFG).
- Compact size camera, a volume of which is 60% of conventional products.
- High sensitivity and low smear
Applications
- Image input device for high-resolution image processor
- High density bar-code reader
- Image input device for ITS such as car umber reading
- Inspection device for LC or Plasma panel
- Microscope usage
- Input device for image processing unit connecting to computer
