Very small, lightweight industrial FireWire camera - inexpensive 

The Guppy is a very small, lightweight, inexpensive industrial FireWire camera. Guppy cameras are equipped with a large variety of renowned CCD and CMOS sensors by Sony and Micron/Aptina - the versatile Guppy series provides the right camera for almost all kinds of applications. Two interlaced models with ultra sensitive sensors (Guppy F-038B/C and F-044B/C) ensure an easy, cost-effective move from analog to digital cameras. On request, board level versions are available.

• IEEE 1394a (400 Mb/s)
• CCD and CMOS sensors (1/3, 1/2, 1/2.5), 10 models (VGA to 5 Megapixel), max frame rate (full resolution): 6.5 fps to 64 fps
• Guppy F-038B/C and F044B/C also available as NIR version (enhanced near infrared light sensitivity)
  
  

Modular design, advanced features, FireWire 1394b, ideal OEM camera, ideal custom camera

The Stingray is a versatile, powerful camera for almost all applications, and an ideal custom camera or OEM camera. Stingray cameras have an excellent image quality and incorporate an advanced set of camera features. Their design is modular and flexible (angled heads, board level versions, AVT modular concept…).

Stingray cameras are available with daisy chain FireWire connectors or with both copper and GOF (glass optical fiber, ideal for long cable lengths) ports. Acclaimed Sony CCD sensors and high-end image pre-processing functions are included - a mid price Stingray IEEE 1394b camera is even suitable for very demanding requirements.

• IEEE 1394b (800 Mb/s), daisy chain copper or copper and GOF
• Sony CCD sensors (1/3, 1/2, 1/1.8, 2/3)
• 8 models (VGA to 5 Megapixel),
  max frame rate (full resolution): 7.5 fps to 75 fps
• FIFO: 32 to 64 MB
• Board level versions available

Digital cameras for microscopes and ophthalmology - FireWire

The Oscar is an ideal digital camera for microscopes and ophthalmology applications. The Oscar series consists of three models (3, 5 and 8 Megapixel) with very sensitive CCD sensors, sophisticated image pre-processing functions, and an outstanding image quality. All Oscar models are color cameras, and include additional b/w output interpolation modes:

• 3, 5 and 8 Megapixels
• B/W signal out of luma interpolation (Y = 0.3R + 0.6G + 0.1B)
• B/W signal out of R, G or B channel information

Benefits of the b/w output interpolation modes:

• In some applications, such as ophthalmology with contrast input, only one color is needed for evaluation.
• For applications with monochromatic lighting, noise can be reduced by using only the respective color channel instead of the fully interpolated luma signal.
• The Oscar can use the three primary colors (R, G and B) separately and  output them in a reduced data monochrome mode.

Fast camera, high frame rates – 1394b – powerful features The Pike is a fast IEEE 1394b camera for demanding applications (e.g. industrial and medical imaging). Numerous pre-processing functions produce an outstanding image quality. Pike cameras operate with very high frame rates. Pike cameras include extraordinary image pre-processing functions like the High SNR mode (up to 24 dB better signal-to-noise ratio). Pike cameras are available both with two copper ports (for daisy-chaining) and with copper/GOF (glass optical fiber) ports.

-IEEE 1394b (800 Mb/s), daisy chain copper or copper and GOF
-Sony and Kodak CCD sensors (1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1, 1.2, 35 mm)
-8 models (VGA to 16 Megapixel), max frame rate (full resolution): 3 to 208 fps
-FIFO: up to 256 MB image buffer
