The VC4038 is one of the world's fastest and most excellent smart cameras with computational power of 3200 MIPS rivalling a 2.6GHZ Pentium. It has 32 MB DRAM, 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage (Expanded by the standard 128MB SD card inside).
It can acquire full frame 640 x 480 pixels at 63 frames per second!
The own internal operating system ''VCRT'' of the VC4038 is multitasking. This means that multiple processes can be executed in parallel.
The camera has also a High Speed Trigger input with absolute constant capture delay, which allows absolutely jitter-free image acquisition even at very high speed processes.
And whereas a standard progressive scan camera gets a trigger, starts exposure and then reads out the pixel data, the VC4038 has optimized the image acquisition process so that exposure, readout and the image processing can be done in parallel.
It has an 8 bit colour overlay which can operate in opaque or semi-transparent mode so that you can block out or still see the underlying image. All Vision Components cameras are built for industrial applications. They are insensitive to shock and vibration, and have multiple I/O lines for direct control of external equipment. For more complex control tasks, they can easily be interfaced to a PLC.
