Introduction
This manual describes standard Photonfocus 2048 series cameras that have a CameraLink
®
interface. The cameras contain CMV2000 or CMV4000 sensors from CMOSIS. The Photonfocus
2048 CameraLink
®
series has the following camera model families:
L-cameras Cameras that contain a dedicated line scan mode to acquire up to 4 rows at very
high speeds (27300 fps for 2048x1 pixels), making it a cost-effective replacement for line
scan cameras.
D-cameras Standard area scan cameras.
There are camera models in every camera family with the following sensor types:
Monochrome Standard monochrome sensor
Color Colour sensor
NIR Cameras with NIR enhanced CMV2000/CMV4000 E12 image sensor

Prefix1 All cameras covered in this manual have MV1 as Prefix1.
Prefix2 Camera family specifier. The following specifiers are used in this manual: "D":
standard area scan cameras; "L": cameras with dedicated line scan mode
Sensor width All cameras covered in this manual use sensors with a width of 2048 pixels.
Sensor height This indication is optional to avoid ambiguity. The D-cameras that use the 2
MPix CMV2000 sensor have a height indicator of "1088". The D-cameras that use the 4
MPix CMV4000 sensor don’t have a height indication.
Sensor type Available sensor types are: "I": NIR enhanced sensors, "C": colour cameras.
Cameras without sensor type specifier have a standard monochrome sensor.
Camera speed The camera speed is usually the product of the camera interface clock in MHz
and the number of parallel interface channels (taps).
Interface type All cameras covered by this manual have a CameraLink
®
interface denoted by
"CL".
Interface resolution Resolution (bit width) of the camera interface.
