Explosion proof digital indastrial USB color camera

The Explosion proof digital industrial USB color camera is a high performance 3.1 megapixel color camera designed for a broad range of industrial, security and life sciences applications.

Ex digital industrial USB color camera is suitable for a broad range of applications such as biometrics, high performance security and surveillance applications, parts inspection, high resolution document archiving, electronics manufacturing in hazardous areas.

The QXGA resolution (2048 x 1536) imager provides images at 12 frames per second at full resoultion. This camera is based on the Aptina (formerly Micron) CMOS rolling shutter progressive scan sensor with a 1/2” optical format. Factory calibrated Digital Pixel Correction and on-board Flat Field Correction (FFC) provides image quality similar to high-end CCD cameras. External triggering and 2 generalpurpose outputs provide users the flexibility to synchronize the camera with their processes and illumination.

The sensor architecture provides superior anti-blooming making the Ex digital industrial USB color camera an excellent choice for imaging highly reflective objects or scenes with intense illumination. The flexible Region of Interest (ROI) control allows users to operate at higher frame rates by placing a lower resolution “window” on the imager at any location. The Ex digital industrial USB color camera can deliver 27 fps at SXGA (1280 X 1024) resolution, 66 fps at XGA (800 x 600) resolution and 95 fps at VGA (640 x 480) resolution.

Ex digital industrial USB color camera has the following features and benefits:

· Common API for all cameras

· In-camera Flat Field Correction (FFC)

· Defective Pixel Correction

· Use existing code without recompiling. Saves development time and money.

· High definition images provide over 12X resolution

· Users can increase frames up to 4000 fps with 8 pixel granularity

· Provides superior image quality by correcting for non-uniform illumination, lens shading, and sensor Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN)

Note: To use the Ex digital industrial USB color camera in a hazardous area, the device must be protected to at least IP 65, so it must be placed inside the enclosure.

The Ex digital industrial USB color camera is connected through an industrial USB 2.0 connector to an intrinsically safe barrier Ex USB 2.0.

The Ex digital industrial USB color camera have a “hot-plug” function which allows them to be connected and disconnected without stopping, shutting down or rebooting the system.
