The result is a camera that works in 12-bit, with dedicated electronics that provides an excellent signal to noise ratio. * The programmable settings let the user work at different integration times and gains. The external trigger allows synchronization of the camera on an external event while the hardware white balance adjustment avoids subsequent software processing. Applications Performance and reliability of this camera make it well suited for the most demanding applications as film and document scanning, semiconductor and PCB inspection, DNA analysis, metrology, X-ray imaging.

Imaging System FGT Frame Grabber Control Box Light Source Light & Shutter Trigger Cables Data & Sync Cable RS-232 Cable Computer Lens Shutter & BG38 Power Supply Cable Camera 24V The Camelia 4M is powered by a 24V power supply and is configured through the serial port of the computer. The camera sends digital video to the FGT frame grabber. As Camelia's CCD is a full frame sensor, either pulsed lighting or a chopper/shutter must be used in front of the camera during integration time in order to have incident lighting on the CCD. The user must design an electro-optical interface to drive the camera, shutter/chopper or lighting by using the SHUTTER signal delivered by the camera. If required, the system can send an external trigger or external ITC (integration time control) signal to the camera. 3 5302B-IMAGE-04/03 Camelia Color 4M Camera CCD Description * Image format: 28.7 mm (V) x 28.7 mm (H) * 2048 mm (V) x 2048 mm (H) active pixels * Pixel Geometry: 14 m (V) x 14 m (H) * Filter Mosaic (Bayer Pattern): First Column First Line Note: Timing B G B G G R G R B G B G G R G R First active pixel of first active line is blue. * Antiblooming by clocking. * 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 pixel binning can be used to enable previewing modes. * When binning is used, the camera delivers black and white video. * Data rate is (pixel clock): 20 MHz.

This falling edge is synchronized by the camera with a precision of 112 s. * The rising edge of ITC activates the stop of frame integration. This rising edge is synchronized by the camera with a precision of 112 s. * Note that the ITC signal period must be greater than the sum of the integration time (defined by ITC low) and the frame readout time.

The video signal processing gain of the camera can be adjusted by setting either the CDS or camera gain. CDS gain: a 1x or 4x gain is available at the input of the video signal processing. Use of the 4x gain is recommended for low level applications as it results in lower noise. Camera gain: a range of 1x to 2x is available in 16 steps. 7 5302B-IMAGE-04/03 Electro-optical Performance Conditions: * Frame integration time: 40 ms * Camera operating ambient temperature: 25C Table 5.
