GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BOBCAT HD-SDI cameras are advanced, intelligent, high-resolution, progressive
scan, fully programmable and field upgradeable CCD cameras. They are built around
SONY’s and TRUESENSE’s line of interline transfer CCD imagers. BOBCAT HD-
SDI cameras are feature rich with built in image processing engine (based on a 4
million gates FPGA), have small size, very low power consumption, low noise, and
efficient and optimized internal thermal distribution. The BOBCAT HD-SDI cameras
feature programmable gain, offset, electronic shutter, long time integration, strobe
output, transfer function correction, temperature monitoring and user programmable
and up-loadable LUT. A square pixel provides for a superior image in any orientation.
The interline transfer CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of high-speed
shutter images. A built-in Gamma correction and user LUT optimizes the CCD‘s
dynamic range. The cameras are fully programmable via the serial interface using a
GUI based configuration utility. The adaptability and flexibility of the camera allows it
to be used in a wide and diverse range of applications including machine vision,
