Prosilica Launches New Fast Megapixel Camera
Vancouver, BC - 25 June, 2008
Compact GE1050 combines speed and high image quality
Prosilica further expands its wide range of industry-leading GigE Vision camera with the release of the GE1050 megapixel CCD camera. The GE1050 is a fast, high-resolution, CCD camera with Gigabit Ethernet interface capable of running at 60 fps at 1000x1000 resolution and even faster using Area of Interest Readout (AOI). The camera incorporates Kodak's new KAI-01050 megapixel, ½" optical format, progressive scan CCD sensor with low-noise architecture, excellent smear performance, and electronic shutter.
The economically priced GE1050 is fitted with a C-Mount with adjustable back focus and is available in color or monochrome models. Applications for the GE1050 include industrial inspection, machine vision, medical imaging, ophthalmology, traffic imaging and OEM applications.
Rich set of camera features
The GE1050 incorporates an advanced set of camera features including snapshot/global shutter, pixel binning, area of interest readout, external trigger and sync I/O, RS-232 peripheral port, exposure, and gain controls, non-volatile configuration memory, event recorder capability, pre-trigger recording, programmable strobe functions, multicasting, configurable IP addresses, auto-exposure and auto-white balance controls.
"With the introduction of the GE1050, Prosilica further establishes itself as the leading supplier of GigE Vision cameras to the industrial imaging markets. The high-performance of the GE1050 adds to Prosilica's reputation as the premier manufacturer of Gigabit Ethernet machine vision cameras", says Prosilica CEO Marty Furse
Ease of integration and third-party compatibility
Thanks to its GigE Vision compliant gigabit Ethernet interface, the GE1050 is essentially plug-and-play and does not require a frame-grabber to operate. The interface also allows cable lengths of up to 100m (300ft) long using conventional Ethernet cabling (Cat5e).
The Prosilica GigE sample viewer and the customer-acclaimed SDK are both available free of charge. The SDK supports Windows (2000, XP and Vista), Linux and QNX operating systems on both Intel and Power PC platforms. For users that prefer third party imaging libraries and applications, Prosilica's GigE Vision cameras are compatible with industry-leading software from Matrox, National Instruments, Stemmer Imaging, Norpix, MVTec, and others.
