General 

     
CV-L107CL is a 3CCD line scan camera using three 2048 pixel line sensors mounted on a prism, for 
the R, G and B channels. It operates with a 40 MHz pixel clock, resulting in a maximum line rate of 
19 047 lines per second.   
The camera outputs digital data in 3 x 8 bits or 3 x 10 bits format via Camera Link. The camera is 
configured by software through the serial communication port of the Camera Link interface, or via 
RS-232C through a 12-pin Hirose connector. 
The  camera  accepts  F-mount  lenses  and can  optionally be  ordered  with  a  P-mount  (M42x1)  lens 
adapter 
 
The latest version of operation manual can be downloaded from

Standard composition 

 
The standard camera composition consists of the camera body. A lens is not included with the 
delivery. 
 

 

The camera is available in the following versions: 
CV-L107CL with F-mount (default) 
CV-L107CL with P-mount (factory option)
