Lumenera announced the release of a new industrial color camera line designed for applications requiring a high resolution and modestly priced imaging component.

This new USB 2.0 camera series features 1280 x 1024 resolution and on-board processing to deliver outstanding image detail, auto white balance, auto exposure and lower fixed pattern noise. The Lw110 and Lw115 offer a 1.3 megapixel color image sensor running at up to 60 fps. As with all of Lumenera's USB offerings, these cameras include a complete Software Developer's Kit (SDK) to quickly integrate the camera's function into OEM applications. Stable and reliable drivers allow users to run multiple cameras on a single PC or other USB devices. Available enclosed (Lw115) or board-level (Lw110) to allow for either off-the-shelf purchasing or OEM customization capabilities, these cameras are an ideal substitute for the now obsolete Lu170/Lu175 camera series. The Lw110 and Lw115 provide the flexibility needed to satisfy a wide variety of applications requiring high resolution details, great color representation and modest cost.

"This new camera series provides excellent color reproduction, light sensitivity and fast frame rates, making it a great replacement for the Lu170/Lu175 model." stated Darren Bessette, Industrial Product Manager, Lumenera. "An adjustable lens mount and ‘full time' I/O are now standard features on the Lw110/Lw115, providing a complete imaging solution."
