High speed and precise
colour data reproduction - best in market
Offering
higher colour fidelity than any other progressive scan camera currently
available
The AT-030MCL is a member of JAI's Apex series of prism-based colour cameras,
which have been designed for applications that need both the precise colour
information made possible by 3CCD technology as well as a high frame rate,
suitable for high-speed, automated colour sorting or print inspections.
The AT-030MCL has three 0.3 megapixel 3-CCD colour progressive
scan sensors and runs at up to 120 frames-per-second
with full resolution.
Advanced 3CCD colour technology
The AT-030MCL targets applications requiring a combination
of moderate (VGA) resolution, fast frame rates, and precise
colour data reproduction and is particularly well-suited
to the pharmaceutical and printing industry where there
is a need for high precision inspection of colour tablets or print at
high speeds.
Besides pharmaceutical and print applications, the AT-030MCL is also suitable
for LED diode inspection, PCB
inspection, Food inspetion and other high-speed inspection
projects where there is a need to detect items with very
subtle colour variations.
How it works
The camera is equipped with three 1/3" CCDs providing higher
colour image fidelity and better spatial resolutions
than cameras based on traditional Bayer colour interpolation techniques.
With its built-in 3CCD technology, the AT-030MCL captures a specific
red, green and blue colour value for each pixel. The three CCD sensors
deliver 659 (h) x 494 (v) pixels of resolution per channel and the camera
operates at 120 frames per second at full resolution. With the use of
partial scan and binning modes even higher frame rates can be obtained.
A wide range of pre-set options and programmable functionality is provided
to support diverse application requirements. An interesting
and unique feature common to all Jai Apex series cameras is its ability
to independently control the exposure time for each of the R, G, and
B channels. Due to optical and silicon sensor characteristics the
blue channel is the least sensitive and so is conventionally "gained-up"
in the camera, producing a noisier image. The AT-030MCL and Apex series
cameras allow the exposure time of the blue channel to be set longer than
the R,G channels and so compensate for its low sensitivity without the
need for extra gain, resulting in a much lower noise image with better
colour fidelity.
Dual Camera Link interfaces permit 8, 10, or 12-bit output per channel
using a Camera Link base or medium configuration and full 36-bit RGB colour
output.
