6 Camera Basics
Components of the GigE uEye HE camera
The
GigE uEye HE
cameras have a modular structure consisting of the following components:
·
Gigabit Ethernet board, including:
§
a Gigabit Ethernet interface which controls data traffic between the camera and the host PC
§
an FPGA which controls the camera functions and performs basic image preprocessing
§
a 64-Mbyte memory used for processing image data
·
Sensor board. This board includes:
§
the sensor
§
an EEPROM where the camera type is stored
·
Timing board (CCD cameras only)
§
The timing board digitizes the analog output signals of the CCD sensor.
