Compact ICCD Camera is designed for low-light applications.
June 2, 2008 -
Measuring 87 x 51 x 45 mm, AG-7000 auto-gated intensified (ICCD) camera combines Gen III Ultra intensifier tube with interlaced CCD camera offering standard RS-170 analog video output for connectivity to monitors and image acquisition cards. It offers low-light sensitivity, capable of resolving images at 1 x 10-6 lux at face plate, and requires 2.2 W to operate under typical usage and temperature conditions. For use with motorized lenses, 3-axis lens controller is included.
JAI has announced the release of the AG-7000, a new auto-gated intensified (ICCD) camera for low-light applications. The AG-7000 combines a high performance Gen III Ultra intensifier tube with a small, interlaced CCD camera offering standard RS-170 analog video output for easy connectivity to monitors and image acquisition cards. With its compact size of 45 mm (H) x 51 mm (W) by 87 mm (L), the AG-7000 is one of the smallest intensified cameras in its class.
The camera's Gen III Ultra tube, which is fiber-optically coupled to a large 2/3" format CCD, delivers outstanding low-light sensitivity, capable of resolving images at 1 x 10-6 lux at the face plate. Full auto-gating is provided to automatically protect the sensor against bright environments and enable the camera to be safely used in a variety of day/night applications.
The AG-7000 is also equipped with an integrated 3-axis lens controller for use with motorized lenses. Operators can use a software-based graphical user interface (GUI) to remotely control the focus, zoom, or iris settings on standard motorized lenses. Camera and lens control is also available via RS-232 serial commands.
In addition to its small size, the AG-7000 requires very little power to operate - only 2.2 watts under typical usage and temperature conditions. It has also undergone more rigorous vibration testing than most ICCD cameras, to better ensure that it will stand up to real-world application environments.
Targeted uses for the AG-7000 include a wide range of night vision applications in the defense, and homeland security markets, as well as selected applications in the fields of oceanography, medicine, scientific research, and industrial automation.
The AG-7000 is available now. Contact JAI for pricing information. Company Information: Name: JAI, Inc. Address: 625 River Oaks Parkway City: San Jose State: CA ZIP: 95134 Country: USA Phone: 800-445-5444 http://www.jai.com
