JAI has added new mini CameraLink models to its C3 Compact product camera range. The new CM-141 MCL (monochrome) and CB-141 MCL (colour) cameras offer a 1.45 megapixel (1392 x 1040) resolution, while the CM-040 MCL (monochrome) and CB-040 MCL (colour) cameras offer 776 x 582 pixel resolution.
JAI Mini CameraLink Cameras
The JAI CM-141 MCL and CB-141 MCL are based on Sony’s popular ICX-285 2/3” progressive scan CCD. This sensor uses its 6.45 ìm pixel size and improved microlens technology to provide higher overall sensitivity (as low as 0.2 lux) with low smear characteristics. The cameras deliver up to 30 full frames per second and use the popular mini CameraLink interface but are also available in Power over mini CameraLink versions.
The CM-040 MCL and CB-040 MCL utilize the Sony ICX415 ½” monochrome CCD and outputs 61 frames/second with full resolution. Higher frame rates can be achieved by using the partial scan or vertical binning modes. An auto iris lens video output function is also available to support dynamic lighting conditions.
The use of a mini CameraLink interface allows compact housing dimensions of only 44 x 29 x 75mm (width x height x depth) for the CM-141 MCL and CB-141 MCL and 44 x 29 x 66 mm for the CM-040 MCL and CB-040 MCL. The CM-040 MCL and CB-040 MCL are also available with an optional right-angled adapter Each camera also only needs a single connection cable with power coming from the framegrabber.
The new models are ideally suited to imaging applications in machine vision, medical imaging, food sorting, traffic and surveillance applications. These range from the identification or investigation the composition of human tissue to high resolution surveillance/security applications including biometrics applications such as facial and iris recognition. Traffic enforcement applications include traffic management of fast moving vehicles.
The two models with Power over mini CameraLink interface, the CM-141 PMCL (monochrome) and CB-141 PMCL (colour), have the same performance data as their MCL variants. However, since these models also support the PoCL standard, they only need a single connection cable with integrated power supply.
