Introduction
The CMOS mega-pixel Camera series MV-D752 from Photonfocus is aimed at demanding
applications in industrial image processing and measurement. It offers an exceptionally
high dynamic range of up to 120 dB with a resolution of 752 x 582 pixels and a full frame
rate of up to 340 frames per second (MV-D752-160).
The CMOS camera series MV-D752, based on a CMOS sensor from Photonfocus, with 4
analog outputs, thus sets new standards in industrial image processing. The camera
profits from the advantages of CMOS sensor technology over the more conventional CCD
technology in the areas of e.g. blooming resistance, adjustable characteristics, selectable
read-out window (Region Of Interest, ROI) and low energy consumption at high data
rates. The global shutter permits high-speed applications in industrial image processing.
In order to attain a higher dynamic range, the characteristics can be arbitrarily adjusted
by the user between linear and logarithmic operation. Thus the LinLog
TM
technology is
ideally suited to applications with high contrast.
The Photonfocus mega-pixel camera MV-D752-28 is available with LVDS (RS644) and
CameraLink digital interfaces. The part codes of the various camera versions are shown
in Table 1. Table 2 summarizes the camera properties.
To acquire images, the camera can be operated in master configuration, slave
configuration or in trigger mode. In free-running mode, the camera (in master
configuration) needs no external control signals to acquire images. The integration time
and the read-out window (ROI) are pre-programmed in the camera via the configuration
interface and can be changed by the user by means of the RS232 interface.
The slave configuration allows the user to control the camera externally with an external
trigger signal, an external exposure signal or an external clock.
In trigger mode, the camera expects an external trigger signal defining the start of the
exposure time, which is defined in the camera register.
With its mega-pixel resolution, its high data rate as well as its high dynamic range and
compact construction of only 55 mm x 55 mm x 50 mm (B x H x L), the MV-D752-28 is
the perfect solution for applications with space restrictions, such as inspection stations or
"Pick and Place" Machines, where, additionally, low energy consumption is beneficial. The
versatility of the Photonfocus mega-pixel camera MV-D752-28 allows the optimization of
the camera parameters for a given image processing application by the user. The camera
parameters are continuously stored in an EEPROM and are loaded automatically at boot-
up. The camera parameters can be set and stored in the EEPROM by using the API
function library [SOFT] or the “PFRemote.exe” software [PFREMOTE], which are delivered
with the camera and employ the RS232 protocol.
Low level programming of the
module hardware independently of the API function library will not be
supported by Photonfocus.
