1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
With spatial resolution of four million pixels, and several different frame rates achieved through
binning, the Redlake MASD, Inc.
Mega Plus Camera, Model ES 4.0/E, is designed for medical,
scientific, inspection, and machine vision applications. The compact camera package operates
through a digital connection to a host computer. The digital interface connector, located on the
camera’s rear panel, sends eight-bit digital output video to the computer and receives control
commands from the computer. This camera can be ordered with a twelve-bit digital video output
and/or a Camera Link interface as options.
Featuring an interline Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor array, the camera has
2048 (H) x 2048 (V) light sensitive elements (pixels). These pixels are 7.4 microns square with a
60% fill ratio. This
Mega Plus camera model has individual gain and offset correction for each
pixel. Pixel by pixel gain and offset correction gives the camera a uniform flat field response at all
light levels.
The camera operates continuously or in one of three triggered modes. A minimum
programmable exposure time of 98 microseconds (98
m s) is possible with the camera’s electronic
shutter. The frame rate is unaffected by the exposure time in continuous mode. The camera is
capable of binning and has dual output channels with data rates of 10, 20 or 40 MHz. In the
512 x 512 mode, the camera has a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. In the 1K x 1K binning mode,
the camera has a maximum frame rate of 30 fps. In the 2K x 2K binning mode, the camera has a
maximum frame rate of 15 fps at 40Mhz and 8 fps at 20Mhz. The camera requires a maximum of
24 watts at 24 volts DC and can be connected to commercially available frame grabber boards
capable of handling twelve bits of video data. Please note that some frame grabber boards may
not support the highest camera frame rates. Check with your frame grabber board manufacturer.
