Applications
The FFM4027D/Multi serves imaging applications that require very high resolution
and fast image acquisition. Its ability to resolve objects within high contrast scenes
together with its 35mm image format make this the ideal camera for digital film
scanning, aerial photography, scientific imaging, and medical imaging. Further, the
modular construction of the FFM4027D/Multi makes it suitable for OEM product
platforms that do not require external housing components, while its Camera Link
interface and simple operation ease its integration with the user’s equipment.
CCD Image Sensor
The FFM4027D/Multi employs a Dalsa FTF4027 CCD image sensor. Either a
monochrome or color (RBG Bayer pattern) version can be installed.
The FTF4027 sensor can operate with one, two, or four outputs. This allows the user
to balance frame rate against complexity, power draw, and required frame grabber
bandwidth. The FFM4027D/Multi is designed to take advantage of the sensor’s multi-
output capability. For example, multiple analog processors and digitizers can be
incorporated and the digital processing features (LUT, column substitution) can be
programmed uniquely for each output. However, the current version of the camera
