Jai AM/AB 201 - New, 2-megapixel HD cameras running at 64 frames-per-second

Core features
Leveraging a Kodak quad-tap CCD sensor, both versions of the camera are capable of providing full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, monochrome or Bayer, at 64 frames-per-second without compromising image quality.

The cameras feature user-configurable AOI scanning (partial scanning), horizontal and vertical binning modes (AM-201CL), and a variety of acquisition modes, including continuous, single-frame, and multi-frame capture. Advanced image pre-processing features range from auto-gain, auto-shutter, and pixel blemish compensation, to flat-field compensation, and a 256-point look-up table for gamma customization.

The Camera Link advantage
While competitor models also offer cameras built around this specific 2-megapixel quad-tap CCD, JAI are one of very few Camera Link models currently available in the market, the advantage of Camera Link being that 2 megapixels at 64 fps requires considerable data bandwidth and Camera Link's performance capabilities enable it to support the required data rate over a standard base configuration. The CCD's quad-tap architecture captures the image then combines the four taps into two for monochrome or Bayer readouts or one-tap for RGB readout over the simple, one-cable configuration. Image quality is not compromised due to an advanced automatic channel-balancing algorithm that continuously adjusts gain and offset to provide seamless result (even under changing lighting conditions) that surpass the typical one-time balancing of other multi-tap cameras. Output can be 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit for monochrome or raw Bayer modes, and 8-bit-per-colour (24-bit) in RGB mode. The colour model (AB 201CL) can be set to perform internal 3 x 3 color interpolation to generate 24-bit RGB output at 32 frames-per-second for full resolution images.

Industrial-grade construction
Like JAI's other high-resolution cameras, both models incorporate a list of industrial-grade features to maximize performance in machine vision environments. These features include a variety of thermal management features (ridged housings, heat sinks, internal temperature sensor) as well as extensive shock and vibration testing performed.

Applications
Applications for these cameras include a broad range of industrial, medical or entertainment applications where the wide field-of-view and high frame rate are useful for capturing high-resolution images of fast-moving objects.

The various auto-shutter, auto-gain and auto-iris capabilities also make these cameras suitable for a variety of outdoor applications.
