Oscar
With Oscar cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is sim-
pler and more
cost-effective
than ever before.
High image quality
With the new Oscar, Allied Vision Technologies presents a whole series of
attractive digital camera models of the FireWire™ type. The multi-megapixel
resolutions, image pre-processing functions, frame grabbing functions and
robust industrial casings make them highly suitable for a wide range of dif-
ferent applications.
Price-performance
In this price class the Oscar sets new standards.
Image applications
Oscar cameras offer the perfect solution for applications in medical, micros-
copy and general digital image processing.
FireWire
The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest
computer compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug-and-
play process. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already
made 800 Mbit/second possible – and the FireWire roadmap is already envis-
aging 1600 Mbit/second, with 3.2 Gbit/second as the next step. Investment
in this standard is therefore secure for the future; each further development
takes into account compatibility with the preceding standard, and vice versa,
meaning that IEEE 1394b is backward-compatible with IEEE 1394a. Your
applications will grow as technical progress advances.
High quality images
Operating in 12-bit mode, the cameras provide outstanding image quality
under almost all conditions. The Oscar is equipped with an asynchronous trig-
ger, true partial scan and numerous smart features for image processing and
microscopy. With resolutions of 3, 5 and 8 Megapixel the cameras offer unri-
valled solutions for many extreme high resolution applications.
The OSCAR family consists of the following models:
