Sony launches GigE camera for ITS applications
Sony - Image Sensing Solutions
XCG-H280E
Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions division has extended its XCG range of GigE machine-vision cameras with the XCG-H280E, which is suitable for use in high-end security and factory automation.
The camera module implements the ICX-674 full HD resolution CCD sensor, which, being capable of running at up to 50fps, is the first sensor to benefit from Sony's next generation EXview HAD CCD II technology.
The XCG-H280E's resolution, high frame rate and ability to work in low light conditions make the camera module suitable for ITS applications, where image quality, sensititvity and speed are paramount.
The 50 x 50 x 57.5mm black/white C-mount camera unit delivers a standard output of 1,920 x 1,080 at 32fps and is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP.
The device is GigE v1.2 compliant and upgradable to GigE v2.0.
It can also connect to external devices, such as a strobe or detector and trigger, to optimise image exposure.
Sony will follow the launch with two additional colour modules.
The XCG-U100CR will use the Sony ICX-274E sensor to deliver a two megapixel resolution (1,600x1,200) at 27fps and the XCG-5005CR will use the Sony ICX-625 sensor to deliver a five megapixel resolution (2,448x2,048) at 15fps.
All three camera modules will be on display at stand J10, hall four at the IFSEC security show, Birmingham and stand D1, hall 10 at the Intertraffic Instanbul ITS show.
It will be available for mass production during July 2011.
