The C2880 6 megapixel camera incorporates the On Semiconductor KAC-06040 CMOS image sensor with a native resolution of 2832 x 2128 in a 1” optical format delivering up to 135 frames per second. It supports Camera Link®, PoCL, or the USB3 Vision® (U3V) interface. Wide dynamic range technology coupled with extremely robust blooming suppression provide clean imagery in even the most severe uncontrolled lighting applications.
The Imperx Cheetah series is the first high performance CMOS product line intended not only for machine vision, but also for surveillance, reconnaissance, aerospace, and intelligent traffic systems. These cameras have very fast frame rates, low noise, wide dynamic range, and excellent near-infrared sensitivity. They have an extremely flexible architecture so one camera can do multiple jobs (for example, a low resolution video camera and a high resolution still camera).
Unique features include:
Smart Wide Dynamic Range. Advanced technology monitors each pixel’s exposure independently and sets it to one of three user-selectable values based on the intensity of the source at the pixel.
Multi-Frame Capture & Switching. This allows you to configure two independent camera frames, each with its own resolution, exposure, gain, dynamic range, and decimation. You can mix and match the frames programmatically or by external trigger to extend your capture options and capabilities. For example, you could set Frame A to capture high resolution detail and Frame B for low resolution contextual information.
