At 776 x 582 pixels, the CM-040MCL provides equivalent to CCIR pixel resolution and slightly greater resolution than basic VGA models while maintaining a high frame rate of >60 fps. The camera utilizes the Sony ICX415 CCD and, while at full resolution, output is at 61 frames/second, higher frame rates can be achieved by using the partial scan (280 fps) or vertical binning modes (111 fps).

The Mini Camera Link interfaces are ideal for applications that need higher bandwidth, real-time signaling, and lower latency than is possible using GigE Vision interfaces.

Being ideally suited to outdoor applications, an auto iris lens video output function is also available to support dynamic lighting conditions.

Possible applications for the CM-040MCL Compact camera:
*** Automotive industry (eg. inspection, high-precision gauging and process monitoring
*** Pharmaceuticals (eg. Inspection of blister packages, fill level control)
*** Beverage industry (eg. control of fill levels of defective bottles)
*** Food industry (eg. sorting)
*** Electronics inspection
*** Intelligent Traffic
