The perfect starting point
Fitting between your fingertips the GO-5000 shares some of the features offered by the much larger SPARK series. Thee GO-5000 models offer a CMOS 5-megapixel imager in a simple, cost-lowering package weighing only 46 grams and is well-suited to entry-level applications. With a combination or ROI and binning capabilities this tiny camera can become almost anything - from a superfast VGA camera (at nearly 450 fps) to a super-sensitive camera using binning* to create 10-micron, or even-20-micron effective pixel sizes.

The GO-5000 series has been built for reliability and carries an industrial-grade rating of 10G vibration and 80G shock. JAI's confidence in their cameras' durability enables us tooffer a three-year warranty for the series.

High image quality
The GO-5000 features the Lince5M sensor with global shutter. 5-micron square pixels, good signal-to-noise ratio, analog gain, a built-in lookup table, and other advanced features help ensure image quality beyond entry-level expectations.

Choice of interfaces
Go Series cameras are available with a choice of advanced digital interfaces to best fit needs. Options include powered interfaces, where a single-cable solution is desired, as well as both frame-grabber-based and "grabberless" configurations.

The flexibility to suit different applications  
One of the GO-5000’s most attractive features is the tremendous flexibility it offers to suit different applications.

Rather than selecting a specific camera model based on resolution or optical requirements, the ROI and binning capabilities of the GO-5000 have been designed to provide a wide range of flexibility within a single camera model.

For example, by windowing the camera to a centered 1920 x 1080 area, a 2-megapixel, 1080p HD camera with a 2/3” optical format can be created, due to the 5-micron square pixels which provide an 11.014 mm diagonal.

Many other configurations are possible. (See illustration right)

In addition, the GO-5000-PMCL’s multiple sensor taps and dual Camera Link interface enables output of 1080p-sized ROI at anywhere from 79 fps for full 12-bit data over a single-cable Base configuration, all the way up to 200 fps for 8- bit or 160 fps for 10-bit output over a two-cable Camera Link Full configuration.

Applications
The versatility of these cameras, coupled with their low price, makes them adaptable to a wide range of machine vision applications.
• The cameras are well-suited to robotics/unmanned vehicle applications
• They can be used for any application requiring an affordable yet high-performing camera, or one where the camera must fit into a tight space
• Their small size and light weight are ideal for applications which require repetitive camera movement such as any application where the camera is mounted to a linear stage or motion-controlled arm

Key features
