CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL

- 2 -

1. General

The CV-M2CL and CV-M8CL are digital 2 megapixel monochrome and color cameras designed for
automated imaging and ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) applications, featuring high resolution
and high speed within a uniform and compact housing.
The color version CV-M8CL is based on a CCD sensor with primary Bayer color mosaic filter. The
color reconstruction should be done in the host PC.
The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode
allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate.
Functions like burst trigger, reset continuous trigger mode, analog iris video output, knee and

gamma function for single channel makes the camera suitable for intelligent traffic systems.
The CV-M2CL/M8CL features the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface.

The CV-M2CL revision B

starting with sn. E520301 is updated with a new CCD sensor. The sensor

gate control mode (SG) is removed. Some minor bugs in the firmware are solved.

The CV-M2CL revision C

includes the color version

CV-M8CL revision C

, and has new updated

boards. For CV-M2CL a vertical binning function has been added.

Revision D

is without binning, and some boards are updated.

2. Standard Composition

The standard camera composition consists of the camera main body and tripod mount plate.
The camera is available in the following versions:
CV-M2CL. Digital Monochrome 2 Megapixel Progressive Scan Camera.
CV-M8CL. Digital Color 2 Megapixel Progressive Scan Camera.
