SPECIFICATION
2.1
Camera Specification
The OWL 1280 digital camera is designed for high-resolution applications requiring visible to SWIR
imaging (400-1700nm). The OWL 1280 camera uses an InGaAS sensor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024
in a 12-bit digital output. High-speed low-noise electronics provide linear response and sensitivity for
rapid image capture.
The Camera Link digital interface provides the most stable platform for data transfer and the camera
will work on any Camera Link standard card.
A Software Development Kit (SDK) is available for interfacing with custom software.
