Allied Vision unveil new series within Alvium line

Allied Vision has bolstered its line of Alvium 1800 cameras by introducing a variety of cameras each featuring a Sony IMX sensor. The exciting release pilots the creation of a new series within Allied Vision's range of Alvium 1800 cameras, the "1800-C" series. Subsequently, this means the Alvium 1800 range is now comprised of two separate series, the "1800-C" series and "1800-U series".

The key difference between the 1800-C and 1800-U cameras is their video interface. The 1800-C features a MIPI-CSI-2 interface for Video4Linux2 and Direct Register Access, perfect for embedded vision applications. Whereas the 1800-U cameras offer a USB3 Vision interface that makes them suited to a broader spectrum of applications including both machine vision and embedded vision applications.

With this release of twelve new camera models covering a broad range of sensors, from 0.4 Mega-Pixels right through to 20.2 Mega-Pixels, Allied Vision offer great flexibility and freedom of choice.

As is the case throughout the entire Alvium series, each of the new models are available in colour and monochrome.

There is also a selection of camera housings: the 1800-C family offers a housing selection of either bare board or housing with open frame , while the 1800-U family offers bare board, open frame housing or closed housing.

The key technology that give the Alvium the advantage over competitive products is that at the heart of the cameras series is a customised ASIC designed by Allied Vision. The Alvium 1800 models posess the ability to perform preprocessing and image correction tasks onboard, meaning the workload on the host processor is significantly reduced. On top of this, the Alvium System-on-Chip sensor's interface offers exceptional scalability and is designed to support all current and future sensors from leading sensor manufacturers. In addition, the Alvium 1800 offers impressive power efficiency, a stark contrast to typical FPGA (Field-programmable gate array) cameras used in machine vision.

All in a neat and ultra compact design, the Alvium 1800 camera series will save you time, power, cost and much needed resources.

If you are interested to learn more about the differences between the Alvium "1800-C" series and the Alvium "1800-U" series, including how and why they might be appropriate for your system, the team at Adept Turnkey would be delighted to help.

• Ultra compact single board design with all electronic components; 13 x 26 x 26 mm board.

• The "1800-C" is available in either bare board or open housing and the "1800-U" is available in bare board, open housing or closed housing.

• Easy hardware integration with various lens mount options.

• Choice of sensors from 0.4 MP to 20.2 MP.

• Monochrome or colour.

• Choice of MIPI CSI-2 with "1800-C" series or USB3 Vision in "1800-U" series.

• The Camera ensures just enough power for the features selected with unused features being shut off.

• Monochrome or colour.

• Image corrections and preprocessing tasks can be performed onboard the camera reducing the workload on the host processor.

• Designer can choose to down-size the host and so reduce overall system cost.

• User development is reduced by providing conditions where hardware and software are easily integrated.
