Leveraging the cost advantages of a single-port GigE Vision configuration, the 2-megapixel industrial grade AB-201 GE CCD camera offers a combination of high-resolution, high-fidelity, and high frame rates.

Incorporating the KAI-02150 quad-tap sensor from Kodak, the cameras deliver full-frame resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels raw colour Bayer output delivered over a standard GigE Vision interface at 38 frames-per-second. Alternatively, AB-201GE can be set to perform in-camera colour interpolation to produce YUV 4:2:2 output at 26.6 fps, or 24-bit (8-bits per colour) RGB output at 17.7 frames-per-second.

The simple, single-cable GigE Vision interface supports 2-megapixel 8-bit output at 38.3 fps, with 10-bit per pixel and 12-bit per pixel modes also selectable. JAI's free SDK and Control Tool software provides easy access to the camera's extensive feature set, as well as a wide range of library functions and samples for quick application development. GigE Vision / GenICam-compliant software tools and libraries from third-party companies are also supported.

Both cameras feature an advanced channel balancing function which continuously adjusts the video levels coming from the quad-tap sensor to ensure uniformity across the image.

Like JAI’s other high-resolution cameras, the AB-201GE incorporates a list of industrial grade features aimed at maximizing performance in machine vision environments. These include precise sensor alignment, advanced thermal management, a built-in temperature sensor, and rugged construction with extensive shock and vibration testing performed.

Applications
JAI's GIGE Vision models offer an attractive price/performance point for applications that don't need to push the limits of frame rates. Core applications include a broad range of industrial, medical or entertainment applications. Various auto-shutter, auto-gain and auto-iris capabilities also make the cameras suitable for a variety of outdoor applications such as traffic, mining and more.

Key benefits
• Lower costs	40- 50% cheaper than dual-port models.
• Lower network overheads	Single-cable solution
• Simpler packet management	Single-interface solutions avoid most of the problems that arise when needing to synchronise two high-speed packet streams in dual-port systems
• SDK independent	Users can choose JAI's free SDK or any other third-arty library and development tool that is GigE Vision/GeniCam compliant
• Industrial-grade construction	JAI ensures that its high-resolution cameras can withstand rugged environments and can cope with a variety of thermal/shock/vibration situations
