Allied Vision Technologies presents the new Stingray GE. With this new version, the Stingray camera series is now available with both FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Stingray, the quick-change artist of Allied Vision Technologies' cameras, just became even more flexible. Alongside the two prior interface variations of the FireWire Standard (IEEE 1394b with copper or fiber optic), now GigE Vision is also available as an interface option. Thanks to its modular construction, the Stingray can be customized with a multitude of interfaces, housings, sensors and lens mounts to meet every application requirement.
VGA up to 5 megapixels
With its GigE Vision interface, the Stingray GE is especially well-suited to applications requiring high image rates while bridging great distances between the host computer and the camera. The Stingray GE, like all others in the Stingray family, offers extensive functions for image optimization and easy system integration. As such, it's the first GigE Vision camera from Allied Vision Technologies to fully combine the so-called “AVT Smart Features” with a Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Wherever possible, the GE versions of the Stingray have integrated the highly sensitive Sony ICX CCD sensors with resolutions from VGA up to 5 megapixels, the same sensors as in the FireWire models. Thus, the GigE Stingray promises to provide the same high image quality as the FireWire models.
The first Stingray GE models will be available beginning Q2/2010.
