Lumenera offers 6.0-Mpixel CCD USB 3.0 camera
April 16, 2014. Lumenera Corp., a manufacturer and developer of high-performance digital cameras and custom imaging solutions for industrial, scientific, surveillance, and astronomy markets, announced at The Vision Show the release of the company’s new high-performance USB 3.0 industrial camera based on Sony’s EXview HAD II ICX694 CCD sensor, running at 27 frames per second (fps) at full 2752 x 2192 resolution.
The Lt665R is Lumenera’s latest high-performance USB 3.0 CCD camera that employs the Sony EXview HAD II sensor technology. The ICX694 sensor-based Lt665R delivers full-resolution frames at the maximum achievable speed. The combination of the ICX694 sensor with a fast USB 3.0 data interface delivers up to 27 fps at full 6.0 Mpixel resolution. This camera is suitable for applications where high speed, sensitivity, and resolution are critical including traffic, tolling, ophthalmology, life sciences, metrology, high-speed inspection, machine-vision, and NIR applications.
The Lt665R takes advantage of Lumenera’s unique memory buffer technology so frames are not lost while running the camera at the sensor’s maximum output. The compact, robust design of this camera, measuring 43 x 43 x 65 mm, allows for easy integration into tight spaces and systems with four mounting points on all four sides. The locking USB 3.0 cabling and digital interface ensure a simple plug-and-play installation. No frame grabber is required. Simplified I/O cabling is provided through a locking Hirose connector supporting external power input along with one optically isolated output, one optically isolated input, and two configurable I/O ports.
Lumenera’s “R” designation identifies that this product has been engineered to provide industry-leading low read and dark current noise. This combination provides imaging in difficult lighting situations, or even into the NIR range.
“Lumenera is excited to release the Lt665R camera, which capitalizes on the performance of the Sony ICX694 EXview HAD II CCD sensor, and is the only one to achieve 27 fps at full resolution on USB 3.0,” stated Eric Ramsden, product manager, Lumenera. “This camera has excellent sensitivity, provides high dynamic range with low noise, and reliable delivery of images through our advanced frame buffering technology.”
