1. Introduction 

 

1.1 General Description 

 

The UC-930CL is a color digital CCD camera using progressive scanning interline-transfer 
technology with R, G, B primary color mosaic filters (Bayer arrangement).  A frame grabber collects 
raw data and displays color images by software conversion.  With the asynchronous capture 
control, high speed moving objects can be captured precisely.  The square pixels are ideally for 
processing, measuring, and analyzing tasks.  This compact and lightweight camera offers excellent 
signal to noise performance.
