CCD
CAMERA/FRAME GRABBER COMBINATION
The HiPerCam 2 is an OEM subsystem married to an area scan
CCD camera (Sony XC-75,55, 8500 or 711 sensors) with an intelligent
frame grabber for PCs in one compact box, designed for production
automation and quality assurance industrial applications.
The user can select progressive scan or interlace approaches,
and can also interface multiple cameras via the unit, for
applications such as clothing inspection that often demand
multiple imagers. Compatible With Win NT, Linux, Vxworks and
pSOS, and built on an Intel Celeron processor, the hardware
supports 16-128 MB memory via a 64-bit SO-DIMM SDRAM. Internal
and external triggering are choices. AMERICAN ELTEC, Princeton,

square pixels and full frame image capture in 1/60 second,
and 490x480 res, this camera ensures sharp, accurate imaging
for measurement applications. TOSHIBA AMERICA INFORMATION
