CAMELIACOL 4M Color Digital Camera
5302C–IMAGE–03/04
Description of Imaging System
Figure 1. Imaging System
The Camelia 4M is powered by a 24V power supply and is configured through the serial
port of the computer. The camera sends digital video to the FGT frame grabber.
As Camelia's CCD is a full frame sensor, either pulsed lighting or a chopper/shutter
must be used in front of the camera during the integration time in order to obtain incident
lighting on the CCD. The user must design an electro-optical interface to drive the cam-
era, shutter/chopper or lighting by using the SHUTTER signal delivered by the camera.
If required, the system can send an external trigger or external ITC (integration time
control) signal to the camera.
