GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IPX cameras are advanced, high-resolution, progressive scan, fully
programmable and field upgradeable CCD cameras. They are built around
KODAK’s line of interline transfer CCD imagers. The camera’s image processing
engine is based on a 1 million gate FPGA. The IPX cameras feature
programmable image resolution, gain, offset, asynchronous external triggering
with programmable exposure, and capture duration, electronic shutter, long time
integration, strobe output, and gamma correction. A square imager format with
uniform 7.4 µm square pixels provides for a superior image in any orientation.
The interline transfer CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of high-
speed shutter images. The combination of electronic shutter and long time
integration enables the cameras capturing speed to be from 1/200,000 second to
more than 10 seconds. The cameras have an optically isolated I/O interface
(trigger input and strobe output). A built-in Gamma correction optimizes the CCD
‘s dynamic range. The cameras have a standard Camera Link™ interface that
includes 8/10/12 bits data transmission with one or two output taps as well as
camera control and asynchronous RS232 serial communication interface, all on a
single cable. The cameras are fully programmable via the Camera Link serial
interface using a GUI based configuration utility. The adaptability and flexibility
of the camera allows it to be used in a wide and diverse range of applications
including machine vision, metrology high-definition imaging and surveillance,
medical and scientific imaging, intelligent transportation systems, character
recognition, document processing and many more.
