General
This manual covers the digital monochrome progressive scan camera CM-
040MCL/040MCL-RA and color progressive scan camera CB-040MCL/040MCL-RA
Hereafter, CM-040MCL/CB-040MCL will represent a whole series except for specific
descriptions.
The CM-040MCL and CB-040MCL are JAI C3 Compact series digital cameras utilizing a Mini
Camera Link interface. Both standard optical configurations (CM-040MCL/CB-040MCL) and
right angle configurations (CM-040MCL-RA/CB-040MCL-RA) are available. The monochrome
version CM-040MCL and the color version CB-040MCL provide a frame rate of 61
frames/second at a full resolution of roughly 450,000 pixels. Using vertical binning (CM-
040MCL), or partial scan, the camera can achieve faster frame rates.
The 1/2" CCD with 8.3µm square pixels offers a superb image quality. The high-speed shutter
function and asynchronous random trigger mode allows the camera to capture high quality
images of fast moving objects.
The color version CB-040MCL, based on a CCD sensor with primary RGB Bayer mosaic filter,
outputs raw Bayer images.
8-bit, or 10-bit output is available to interface with the capture board.
The cameras also provide an Auto iris control video output.
