The CV-M9CL is a 3CCD colour camera with XGA resolution and high-fidelity colour reproduction. It uses a 3CCD prism design and three progressive scan 1/3" CCD sensors each with 10-bit or 8-bit 1024 x 768 pixels resolution. It is capable of speeds of 30 frames per second at full resolution continuous (free-run) mode.

The CV-M9CL features a compact RGB prism with co-site sampling, where all 3 CCDs are aligned to each other without spatial offset resulting in a highly accurate, hi-fidelity colour image. The camera features a chromatic-shading reduction function and so makes selection of a suitable C-mount lens easier. It features several advanced modes of operation including asynchronous reset modes or continuous operation. A Camera Link interface ensures high speed data transfer and carries camera control signals.

The CV-M9CL is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where colour reproduction and spatial accuracy cannot be compromised. These include colour printing, fruit and vegetable sorting, medical, scientific and virtually any colour web application that requires the best quality image.
