Fastest CameraLink® Base camera in the world
The new monochrome MV1-D1312-240-CL-8 camera, which to the best of our knowledge is the fastest CameraLink® Base camera in the world. The new 1.4Mpix camera is based on the newly developed 3rd Generation CMOS imager A1312 from Photonfocus.
The A1312 image sensor series is designed and fabricated in a 0.35µm CMOS technology optimized for image sensors to achieve an outstanding sensitivity and quantum efficiency. The resolution of the new sensors is 1312 x 1082 pixels, with 8µm x 8µm square pixels and over 60% fill factor with an excellent image quality. The spectral range of the new A1312 CMOS image sensor has an extended spectral range covering 350nm to 1100nm. Besides the overall excellent image quality it's worth pointing out the remarkably good Near Infra Red (NIR) responsivity.
The new MV1-D1312-240-CL-8 comes with a frame rate increase of +50% compared to the so far fastest MV1-D1312-160-CL-12 CameraLink® Base camera. This means that the new camera is operating at the limits of possible frame rates achievable by a CameraLink® Base camera. For a 1024 by 1024 resolution the frame rates breaks through the barrier of 200fps achieving 217fps just with a CameraLink® Base interface!!!
The advantage of saving costs is even more significant where two or four CameraLink® Full cameras are used as for example with stereo- or quad vision systems for motion analysis. Using the new MV1-D1313-240-CL-8 cameras not only saves costs on the camera side but as well on cabling and frame grabber. Two MV1-D1312-240-CL-8 cameras can be connected to one CameraLink® Base frame grabber, rather than having to use two CameraLink® Full frame grabbers. In a multi camera system the number of cables and frame grabbers halves!!!
