New 5MP Firewire 1394b CCD camera

AVT Pike F-505 B/C

The Allied Vision Technology PIKE camera family is equipped with a Firewire IEEE1394b-S800 interface, as well as high-quality CCD sensors ranging from 640x480 to 2452x2054 pixels in colour and monochrome. The Pike series is designed for the most demanding applications with high sensitivity and true-to-life color reproduction.

The AVT PIKE F-505B (mono) and AVT PIKE F-505C (color) are smart and fast C-mount cameras, equipped with a highly-sensitive 5MP (2452x2054) SONY Type 2/3" progressive scan CCD sensor. These cameras operating in 14-bit mode, impress in almost any situation by their ability to produce high fidelity images.

The camera offers 2 data ports (Daisy Chain), an external asynchronous trigger shutter and operates in 14-bit mode. At full image resolution the AVT PIKE F-505 produces images at up to 15 fps and is particularly suited for high resolution, fast industrial image processing and factory automation applications. The extensive built-in image processing capabilities (image pre-processing) result in outstanding image quality, reduced computer processing, less load on the system and higher performance overall.

Due to its IEEE1394b interface, the PIKE supports up to 62.5MB/s, a far greater bandwidth compared to the IEEE1394a interface. Combined with a number of smart features the PIKE guarantees high performance in PC-based image processing. The integrated image pre-processing features of the PIKE not only reduce demands on PC computer power, but also cut system costs by eliminating the need for frame grabbers.

To meet the highest requirements in the industry, the PIKE comes optionally in a version with 1x GOF (Fibre). This not only saves costs in multi-camera operations but also makes it possible to transmit images up to 500 meters over fibre cable without the need of a fibre transmitter. The direct fiber technology of the PIKE in the GOF version also provides protection against electromagnetic interference in noisy environments. The other advantage of the GOF Fibre Pike is that it provides perfect electrical insulation. There is no need for any complicated potential reconciliation.

AVT's Pike family of Firewire IEEE 1394b cameras presents a formidable option for cameras of their class with advanced functionality and price-to-performance value.
