•

Exposure control.

•

1-Megapixel (1024 x 1024) resolution.

•

Up to 75 frames per second (fps).

•

CMOS image sensor.

•

LINLOG™ output response.

•

Windowing capability for increased frame rates.

•

CE compliant, shock and vibration tested.

•

Single 5V power supply input.

•

Robust and compact.

Programmability

•

Programmable features include: gain, offset, line rates, trigger mode, test pattern
output, and camera diagnostics.

•

DLLs for integrating camera control functions into your system. The DLLs require a
