General 

CM-140

 

MCL/CM-140

 

PMCL is a monochrome progressive scan CCD camera and the CB-140

 

MCL/CB-

140

 

PMCL is the equivalent Bayer mosaic progressive scan CCD camera. Both have 1.45 M pixels 

resolutions. 
While the MCL version is powered by an external 12-volt supply, the PMCL (Power over Mini-CL) 
version is powered by a compatible frame grabber. 
These cameras are suitable for a wide range of applications within factory automation, an also for 
applications outside the factory floor, such as ITS (Intelligent Traffic Solutions), high-end 
surveillance and medical. 
 
The CM-140MCL-UV and CM-140PMCL-UV uses the same 1.45 M pixels CCD but having the 
sensitivity in UV area.
