Original Press Release:



CV-M8CL Combines 2-Megapixel Resolution with Color Imaging



The CV-M8CL, a 2-megapixel Bayer CFA color camera, features a resolution of 2 million pixels (1600 x 1200). Measuring 40(h) x 50(w) x 120(l) mm, the camera is based on a progressive scan 1" format Bayer CFA CCD sensor (KAI-2001CM) with 7.4µm square pixels. The CV-M8CL offers 30 frames/second at full resolution with dual-tap output or 17 frames/second at full resolution over single-tap output.

Other CV-M8CL specifications include: Camera Link interface, RS-232C for configuring the camera, PIV mode, and C-mount. Designed for such applications as industrial inspection and intelligent traffic systems, the CV-M8CL includes: auto iris lens video output, knee and gamma response curves, Reset Continuous Trigger mode, analog monitor output (reduced resolution), and five-image burst trigger mode. The burst trigger is a unique feature that allows the capture of a sequence of five images at different shutter speed settings. In situations in which the lighting conditions are uncertain, such as in an outdoor environment, burst trigger allows a range of exposures to be captured simultaneously. This allows the most suitable exposure to be selected later for further processing. Knee and gamma functions allow image capture in contrast-rich scenes without rendering dark parts unrecognizable or bright parts bloomed.

The CV-M8CL is available now. Volume pricing is available upon request.
