1. Introduction 

 

1.1 General Description 

 

The UC-600 is a high frame rate, color digital CCD camera using progressive scanning interline-transfer 
technology with R, G, B primary color mosaic filters (Bayer arrangement).  A frame grabber collects digital data 
and displays color images by software conversion.  This color camera is useful for applications where color, high 
frame rate and high speed are required.  With the asynchronous capture control, high speed moving objects can 
always be captured.  The square pixels are especially suitable for processing, measuring, and analyzing tasks. 
This compact and lightweight camera has user-friendly access for digital and analog outputs, shutter selection, 
and many others on the rear panel.

1.3 Applications 

 
UC-600 applications include machine vision, automated inspection, motion capture and analysis, medical 
imaging, biomedical imaging, non-contact measurement, and other scientific and industrial applications where 
color image and high frame rate are needed.
