Cameras with Dual GigE Vision Technology

Svs-Vistek's camera line SVCam-HR has again been improved and upgraded with new models. The frame rate of the CameraLink-version of the svs11002 has been increased and delivers now 10 frames per second. Two new products, the svs8050 and the svs4050 with dual GigE-Vision interface have just been launched on the market. The HR-series suits for applications which demands high camera resolutions and fast image transmission times.

"Each millisecond which has been saved during the image transmission leaves more space for the evaluation or increases the production throughput", explains Andreas Schaarschmidt, Director Sales and Marketing of Svs-Vistek.

The new HR models are equipped with two GigE interfaces so that the whole bandwidth of a 4-tap CCD-sensor can be used. This technology works in compliance with the convention of the Link Aggregation Group (LAG). The cameras work with high-quality interline-CCD progressive-scan sensors from Kodak. The configuration software allows operating these cameras also in slower 1- or 2-tap mode with only one GigE-interface. The cameras are available as monochrome or colour version. Areas of application for these cameras are e.g. print inspection, PCB inspection, solar-, wafer- and semiconductor industry as well as optical metrology.

For camera configuration and system integration comfortable software tools are delivered. Svs-Vistek's camera configuration software SVCapture allows adjusting various camera parameters such as free-running or triggered. In addition I/Os are provided which can be controlled via a GigE interface. Functions like Auto-gain or Auto-Exposure and multi-casting are provided in the SDK and Driver. They are available for XP 32 and 64 Bit, Windows 7 and for Linux.
