The CV-M77, a 1/3" progressive scan RGB color CCD machine vision camera from JAI PULNiX, has been upgraded to offer up to 74 frames per second at 1024 x 242 pixels resolution. The camera features a Sony ICX204AK imager and 4.65 µM square pixels. Its frame rate at full 1028 (h) x 770 (v) resolution is 25 frames per second. Other features include a Bayer CFA, fast frame readout of every third line, DSP for excellent color reproduction, asynchronous reset, and internal/external HD/VD selection.
The user can easily select the camera’s shutter speed by programming it with a range of fixed shutter speeds from 1/25 to 1/10,000 second. Frame-delay readout allows edge pre-select and pulse-width controlled shutter with exposure-enable (EEN), write-enable (WEN) and pixel clock outputs. Short ASCII commands allow fast mode setup (by Windows 98/NT/2000 software via RS-232C) via a serial port. The CV-M77 is well suited for such applications as machine vision, medical imaging, food processing, and traffic monitoring.
