Introduction
DVC Company, based in Austin, Texas, is a leading manufacturer of high-performance digital cameras.
We thank you for purchasing from the DVC-4000 product line.
The DVC-4000 cameras are based on the Kodak KAI-4021 interline CCD, which provides 2048 x 2048
pixel resolution and 7.4
µ
m square pixels with high quantum efficiency and low noise. The DVC-4000 is
offered in both standard and cooled configurations, with a choice of Gigabit Ethernet or CameraLink
interface.
Additionally, the DVC-4000 is bundled with the full complement of DVC software.
For end-users, the DVCView imaging application provides full control of up to 8 cameras
simultaneously through an intuitive user interface, and it enables the user to acquire, pan, zoom,
analyze, and save imagery and metadata. Additionally, DVCView provides direct-to-disk video
streaming, time-lapse capture, image averaging, image background subtraction, and flat-fielding.
For developers, DVC also offers a software developer’s kit, which includes a comprehensive API to
streamline the integration of any DVC camera into your system. After software installation, the SDK can
be found in the /dvcco/docs directory.
This manual is a functional overview of the camera, and it is meant to be a companion to the DVCView
User Manual and the SDK.
Thank you again from all of us at DVC!
