Genie HM1400

DALSA's new Genie high speed GigE Vision cameras are compact easy-to-use digital cameras engineered specifically to accommodate most industrial machine vision applications. Dalsa's high speed Genie cameras use Dalsa exclusive sensor technology to provide unprecedented image acquisition quality in a small compact form factor that allows them to be implemented into most tight-fit applications that require high performance. With an uncompromised signal-to-noise ratio all Genie high speed cameras transmit digital images over the Gigabit-Ethernet interface with the use of standard CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables for up to 100m. The Genie series comply with the international GigE interface standard called GigE Vision released by the AIA (Automated Imaging Association) and therefore are plug and play replaceable with other GigE Vision cameras. They are supported with Sapera™, Dalsa's machine vision software offering fast, simple setup with unique data reliability features.

The Genie HM1400 features 1400x1024 pixel resolution at capture rates up to 75fps at full resolution and 300 fps at VGA resolution while maintaining a crisp image quality. Its global electronic shutter with exposure control allows the HM1400 to handle the capture of very fast moving objects. On-board flat-field correction allows users to flatten the effects of uneven lighting and to correct for pixel variations therefore simplifying software analysis. The anti-blooming feature of the Genie HM1400 provides the ability to minimise artifacts due to the effects of very bright points or areas of an image. Unlike many other GigE cameras the Genie series are compatible to most gigabit ethernet chipsets and do not rely on some specific features of a limited number of chipsets on the market. They produce high data rates over networks with very limited CPU involvement, leaving the CPU for image processing tasks.

DALSA's Sapera™ software enables users to benefit through its fast and simple camera setup. As soon as the camera is connected to the system, auto discovery automatically identifies the camera and communicates all of the supported features to the Sapera™ environment greatly facilitating system setup and configuration. Moreover the Genie Framework package found in the Sapera™ software employs DALSA's Trigger-to-Image reliability framework. This allows it to dependably capture and transfer images from the camera to the host PC. Trigger-to-Image reliability (T2IR) is an engineering design framework exclusive to Dalsa, ensuring the reliability of the image acquisition system by supplying the key design elements needed to:
1) Secure the image acquisition process
2) Permit error identification, and
3) Provide a recovery mechanism if and when errors do occur
