    Mobile LumiCam 1300 imaging photometer and colorimeter tests the visual appearance of displays, display systems, or panel graphics. Luminance and color display metrology can be conducted in the lab or field using a 1.3 million-pixel CCD sensor, which has a photometric range of 0.01 to 200,000 cd/m2. Pixel resolution of 50 µm is possible using standard 50-mm objective lens. A battery pack enables independent operation for up to 6 h. The portable version of the LumiCam provides measuring accuracies of ±4% for luminance.

    Frame grabber integrates color

    PicPort-Pro-CL-Stereo-RTF and PCI-based frame grabber, based on FPGA technology, integrates a real-time color decoder for Bayer-pattern color cameras. The frame grabber acquires images from one Base/Medium or two Base Camera Link cameras; in dual-camera configuration, the board accepts cameras of different types in synchronous or asynchronous acquisition mode. A 32-Mbyte advanced frame buffer delivers more than 700-Mbytes/s bandwidth. The Leutron Development Suite can be used to develop software for the frame grabber.
