| JAI releases TM-2030 camera with GigE or Camera Link Output | ||

SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, May 31, 2007 – JAI today introduced the TM-2030 Series, a set of four new high performance cameras featuring a wide (16 x 9) aspect ratio and a full HDTV resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The TM-2030 Series offers software-selectable operation that allows users to choose between dual tap mode at 32 frames per second (with automatic channel balancing), or single tap mode operating at 16 frames per second. Utilizing a 1” Kodak progressive scan IT CCD sensor (KAI-2093), the TM-2030 Series produces low noise images with a typical signal-to-noise ratio of greater than 57 dB. The cameras output 12-bit linear images, or 10-bit/8-bit images that are modifiable by a user-defined look-up table (LUT) enabling users to optimize the camera’s dynamic range for particular applications. The four-camera series includes monochrome (TM-2030) or color (TMC-2030) models, equipped with either a Camera Link digital interface, or with a GigE Vision standard Gigabit Ethernet serial interface. Color versions (TMC-2030GE and TMC-2030CL) produce raw Bayer CFA output for host-based interpolation. The TM-2030 Series cameras have multiple modes including continuous, synchronous, and asynchronous trigger modes that can be operated with pre-selected or no-delay pulse width controlled electronic shuttering. The camera’s user friendly GUI enables shutter speeds to be easily set by the user to any speed from 1/32 to 1/16,000 second, in increments of 27.5 microseconds. Other high performance features include a PIV mode (particle imaging velocimetry) able to capture pairs of images a few microseconds apart for advanced studies of movement in fluids or gases, and a defective pixel compensation feature that uses neighboring pixels to adjust for bad ones. With its wide field-of-view, the TM-2030 Series is targeted at applications where a wide format is advantageous. Examples include military surveillance applications (aerial or ground), traffic or cargo inspection applications (multiple lanes covered by a single camera), and machine vision inspection of objects that are long and narrow in shape. The TM-2030 Series cameras are available now. Volume pricing is available upon request. About the JAI Group JAI is a manufacturer of high quality, industrial-grade cameras for the machine vision, transportation, military, aerospace, homeland security, medical and scientific markets. JAI provides the broadest camera offering of any industrial camera manufacturer in the world. JAI’s product line features both CCD and CMOS technologies, spatial resolutions from VGA to multi-mega pixel, progressive scan and interlaced format, and sensitivity to light levels as low as .00001 lux. Camera offerings include both monochrome and color, capture rates from real-time to over 1,000 fps, and a wide variety of physical interfaces including Camera Link™ and the new GigE Vision Gigabit Ethernet standard. Headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, JAI has subsidiaries in Japan, the US, and the UK. The JAI Group has annual sales of more than $70 million (USD) and employs 250 people worldwide. The JAI Group’s mission is to develop and distribute user-friendly tools for the professional international world market by combining electronic eyes and electronic brains into a meaningful whole. JAI has two primary businesses: Camera Solutions and Traffic Solutions. Camera Solutions is a component supplier that designs, manufactures and markets CCD and CMOS camera solutions primarily for the ITS, medical and industrial machine vision markets. JAI cameras help improve customer businesses in a variety of ways, whether by improving quality and accuracy, lowering costs, increasing yields, or simply enabling better service. The Traffic Solutions business unit is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of specialized traffic systems. Solutions are based on JAI-developed hardware and software, which is often integrated with third-party products. |
