Daily Product Highlights 2006 p3 of 22:

• Lenses work in harsh environments
  Rugged microvideo imaging lenses incorporate precision optical components inside a sealed optical assembly. The harsh environmental optics (HEOs) excel in wash-down and other wet surroundings. Designed for 1/2- and 1/3-in. sensor formats, the HEO imaging lenses are offered in four different focal lengths and feature standard M12 x 0.5 mounting threads. Two coating options make the lenses ideal for visible or near-IR infinite conjugate imaging applications.
• Software supports many cameras
  StreamPix 4, a multicamera digital video recording software program, can view, control, and acquire multiple cameras from a single interface. The user interface provides a complete management console for cameras, simplifying the setup, control, and acquisition from any number and type of cameras, both locally and remotely connected. StreamPix supports a wide range of cameras and grabbers.
• Remote multihead system is high speed
  FASTCAM MH-4 digital video imaging system allows the use of one to four detachable camera heads, each measuring 35 ? 35 ? 35 mm (less than 1.5 in.³ without lens) and weighing less than 100 grams. The system features full 512 x 512-pixel resolution up to 2000 frames/s and up to 10,000 frames/s at reduced resolution.
• Color cameras come with Camera Link
  CIS Corporation's line of color, high-speed megapixel cameras offer selectable RGB or RAW data output. The highest-resolution model has 2-Mpixel true UXGA 1620 x 1220 resolution at 30 frames/s. Two SXGA models are available with the standard model offering 38 frames/s and a low-sensitivity model with a minimum illumination requirement of 0.5 lux offering 34 frames/s. All models have partial scan modes and Camera Link interface.
• Compact GigE Vision cameras are rugged
  New line of ultracompact Gigabit Ethernet cameras, the GC-Series cameras, measure 4.3 ? 4.6 ? 3.3 cm. These GigE Vision-compliant cameras weigh about 99 grams, making them useful for semiconductor inspection, avionics, and robotic applications. Features include region-of-interest readout, binning modes to 8 ? 8 pixels, high frame rates, and various color-output modes including RGB. The cameras also include on-camera color interpolation, rugged design, and a SDK.
• Cameras have lockable connector
  The FOculus IEEE1394 camera series now includes the FO442SB/SC with a 2/3-in. CCD image sensor. The series comes in monochrome and color and are available in VGA/XGA resolution. The lens mount can be C-/CS-mount. The series is IIDC 1.31 compliant. The cameras are available with a lockable IEEE 1394 connector via lock-screws.
• Systems aid packaging industry
  Machine-vision systems for use in the packaging industry include applications such as label reading, OCR and OCV, barcode and 2-D matrix code reading, assembly verification, presence/absence detection, color analysis, shape and orientation, and alignment. The systems are rugged industrial or embedded PC-based analyzers with digital cameras, continuous or strobe lighting, and configurable software.
• Barcode imager reads without static
  Quadrus MINI ESD Safe, a miniature fixed-mount imager can be safely and easily integrated into ESD-sensitive assembly processes. The ultracompact size of the device, combined with high-resolution optics and a wide field of view, allows close-range reading of static-sensitive parts and components. Featuring a megapixel sensor and advanced algorithms, the RoHS/WEEE-compliant Quadrus reads long barcodes and high-density 2-D symbols in any direction on multiple surfaces.
• Processors improve digital video
  TMS320DM643x processors are the first DSP-only devices for DaVinci technology. All four processors feature the TMS320C64x+ core and operate between 300 and 600 MHz. Three of the processors are suitable for automotive vision applications, such as lane-departure warning and collision avoidance. They support the CAN bus interface, a network that enables multiple microcontrollers to communicate with each other.
• Large-format lenses have less distortion
  Raptar Pro line of large-format imaging lenses are designed for the linescan and large-area sensor markets. The 1X Raptar Pro 86 mm with a nominal magnification of 1.0X, can image onto sensors up to 90 mm with less than 0.1% distortion, resulting in sharpness and contrast at apertures ranging from f/4 to f/22.
