Monochrome Camera
A black and white camera, also known as a monochrome camera, offers advantages in a variety of applications. While the market for security and telephony focusses on color cameras, the industrial market utilizes the advantages of black and white cameras. Black and white cameras are very light sensitive, provide sharp images and reduces data compared to color. This makes it ideal for the processing of images. By selecting the right color as your light source and lens filter, a black and white camera can utilize the product its characteristics. Hereby men can create images with a large contrast and a high resolution.
With I/O
The I/O connector from a USB camera is an 8 pin HR25 Hirose connector, which is a standard in the industrial machine vision market. This camera has an input that can be used as a hardware trigger for the device. The output of the camera can be used to trigger a light source, for example: LED. Furthermore, the camera has two GPIO’s (General Purpose Input/ Output) which can be programmed by using our SDK. The electrical diagrams to use the I/O connector are provided in the manual.
Information sensor manufacturer
(Please note that not all sensor features may be implemented)
We have developed a new lineup of CMOS image sensors for industrial applications. This lineup includes optical size-type 1/2.9 CMOS image sensors with approximately 0.4M effective pixels that achieve even higher resolution and higher-speed imaging by increasing the pixel size.
The lineup includes monochrome products that use a MIPI interface (CSI-2-compliant) for sensing applications. All of the products in this lineup use the same package to ensure pin compatibility, enabling camera design using the same footprint pattern for the drive board.
