Unparalled image quality

Sony Europe’s Image Sensing Solutions division will give the world’s first demonstration of its colour GigE camera module – XCG-H280CR – at Vision 2011. The camera implements the ICX-674AQG colour CCD sensor, which captures full HD (1920×1080) images at 60fps and 2.8Mp (1920×1440) images at 50fps. The modules have been precision engineered, in collaboration with the Sony sensor development team, to deliver unparalled image quality. Its resolution, high frame rate and colour sensor make the camera suited to a wide range of vision applications, from ITS and security to component inspection and agriculture, where colour, image quality, sensitivity and speed are paramount. The 50 x 50 x 57.5 mm C mount unit includes a partial scan mode for high speed acquisiton. The module is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP, compliant wth GigE v1.2 and upgradable to GigE v2.0. The camera module can also connect to external devices, such as a strobe or detector and trigger, to optimise image exposure. “We have engineered the unit to get more from the Sony image sensor, this means that image and colour metrics can be more accurately analysed to obtain more reliable data,” said Myriam Beraneck, European marketing manager at Sony ISS. The unit will be demonstrated throughout the Vision Show. The device will be in mass production from February 2012.
