New high speed 3CCD progressive scan RGB camera with GigE - CV-M9 GE
JAI
CV-M9GE 3CCD camera
JAI's already popular and proven 3CCD camera CV-M9CL has taken an important
step into the future. For the first time Jai has leveraged the combination
of advanced 3CCD RGB colour vision technology and the easy-to-use GigE
Vision standard interface with the new CV-M9GE.
The GigE Vision standard interface together with programmable GPIO (General
purpose input/output ports) used in the high speed camera takes the trouble
out of integrating advanced 3CCD prism colour technology into even the
most demanding machine vision applications.
The new GigE high speed cameras similar to their older counterparts can
be widely used across a diverse range of applications that require precise
colour measurement. The CV-M9GE 3CCD camera is suitable for use in any
application where true colour and high fidelity are required along with
ease of integration.
Some applications include:
Print inspection, food sorting and inspection, flat panel quality verification,
medical diagnostics such as skin screening, agricultural applications
and others.
Based on 3CCD prism technology, the high speed camera provides full XGA
(1024 x 768) resolution for each of the Red, Green and Blue colour bands.
The clear spectral separation between the three colour bands gives this
camera the ability to define and detect colours that would not be possible
to detect with a 1CCD colour camera.
The CV-M9GE 3CCD camera features both manual and automatic one-push white
balance adjustment, making it easy to achieve the correct setting for
a wide range of colour temperatures and under difficult lighting conditions.
Alternatively the white balance can be adjusted by individual settings
in the Red, Green and Blue channels, while maintaining a consistent and
high signal/noise ratio in each channel. Sophisticated colour shading
correction offers a flat field which is often a weak point with low quality
3CCD cameras.
The high speed CV-M9GE 3CCD camera can be operated in Continuous (free-run)
mode at 30 frames/second or in an external trigger mode. The Edge Pre-Select
trigger mode uses a pre-defined exposure time whereas the Pulse Width
Control trigger mode sets the exposure time based on the width of the
trigger pulse.
The CV-M9GE 3CCD camera also features a Sequencer trigger mode that permits
on-the-fly change of a combination of gain, offset and Region of Interest
(ROI). Another useful industrial camera function is "delayed readout"
where images from simultaneously triggered cameras are read out in sequence
to avoid congestion on the Ethernet interface.
GigE Vision industrial cameras use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and
do not require a dedicated frame grabber in the PC. This translates directly
into cost savings and shorter "time-to-market" for development
projects.
The new Jai GigE CV-M9GE 3CCD camera features can be summarized:
- The GigE Vision standard interface for standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling
up to 100m distances
- Self-describing, easy to use with 3rd party software libraries (GenICam)
- Programmable GPIO (General purpose input/output ports)
- Standard trigger modes with "pre-select" or "pulse
width" exposure
- Sequencer trigger mode that permits on-the-fly change of a combination
of gain, offset and Region of Interest (ROI).
- Delayed readout" where images from simultaneously triggered cameras
are read out in sequence.
- Manual and automatic one-push white balance adjustment (CV-M9 GE).
Machine vision integrators and machine vision users worldwide for the
first time have access to industrial cameras that combine advanced 3CCD
RGB color vision technology with the easy-to-use GigE Vision standard
interface to deliver a yet once again winning industrial camera from Jai.
