General

   

 

The  AD-081CL  is  a  unique  prism-based  2CCD  camera,  incorporating  two  monochrome  CCD 
sensors with sensitivity in the visible spectrum. The prism-based design enables a single optical 
path  to  be  split  across  both  CCDs  simultaneously  while  maintaining  alignment  to  within 
one-quarter  pixel.  By  altering  the  shutter  and/or  gain  of  the  two  CCDs  and  fusing  the  two 
synchronized  video  streams  during  post-processing,  the  AD-081CL  can  provide  more  than 
double the dynamic range of standard CCD cameras while maintaining high image quality. 
 
Alternatively, the timing of each CCD‟s readout can be offset by one-half frame and 
interleaved together to produce double the normal frame rate without any image degradation 
from over-clocking the CCDs.   
 
The AD-081CL is equipped with continuous mode, pre-select trigger mode, pulse width trigger 
mode and PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) mode. 
   
The AD-081CL uses a standard Camera Link interface, whereby each channel can output images 
with 8- or 10-bit depth.
