PixeLINK® cameras include numerous real-time image pre-processing functions. All below mentioned functions are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU load and thus an inexpensive host computer.

  • Programmable LUT and FFC(Flat Field Correction)
  • Defect pixel correction
  • Bayer 8, Bayer 16  and YUV422 (color versions)
  • Auto exposure and auto white balance
  • Binning, Decimation and Averaging
  • Image Flip and Image Rotate
  • ROI (Region of Interest Readout)
  • Saturation, sharpness and Brightness (color versions)
  • Gain
  • Gamma
  • Color temperature
  • Frame Rate control

The PixeLINK® technical manual contains detailed descriptions of all functions.

 

This camera is well suited to machine vision applications which require excellent image quality such as: 

  • Automated inspection
  • PCB and semiconductor inspection
  • Container inspection
  • Food, beverage and lumber inspection
  • Traffic inspection
  • Manufacturing quality control.

 

Straight Case

The Straight case design offer you a robust, high quality industrial camera that can be easily incorporated into a variety of system configurations.

Right Angle Case

The Right Angle case design offer you greater flexibility for mounting cameras that have space limitations in length.

Board Level

Board Level cameras are designed for custom integration into OEM and end-user industrial applications providing an increased degree of mounting flexibility while maintaining the same feature set and image quality of enclosed cameras. The boards are connected to the sensor board via a 4" (other lengths are available) flat circuit ribbon cable.
