FCi4-14000 CMOS Camera
The FCi4-14000 camera is a very compact high
resolution CMOS camera. The camera is
equipped with the IBIS4-14000 rolling shutter
image sensor. The user can define a Window Of
Interest within the sensor area. Several subsampling
modes are also available.
The sensor measures 36 x 24 mm and can be
used to replace 35mm photographic film
cameras. The absence of micro-lenses reduces
the effect of shadowing found on other sensors
with a large active area.
The digital camera can operate in single-shot and
in continuous mode, which makes it ideal for
machine vision applications. In the single-shot
mode, the user has the freedom to decide when
the camera has to capture an image, not the
other way around as is the case with most
analogue camera systems.
A line-scan mode (3048 pixels) is also available.
The camera has 12-bit resolution, a dynamic
range of 65 dB. In-camera logic performs pixel
noise correction, image rotation and mirroring.
Each camera has both a Base Camera Link
interface (2 taps of 12-bit) and a USB 2.0
interface. All camera control functions,
maintenance and image acquisition can be made
via either interface using the utility software
provided.
A camera management micro-processor, retains
pre-defined operating parameters and makes the
camera self-starting after power-up.
The camera can be triggered locally or via the
flexible Camera Link interface cable that can be
up to 10 metres long. Both trigger methods can
also be used to determine the integration time.
The FCi4-14000 camera provides a complete
solution for system designers who require a rapid
solution with little or no involvement at chip level.
