Original Press Release:



CV-M8CL Combines 2-Megapixel Resolution with Color Imaging



The CV-M8CL, a 2-megapixel Bayer CFA color machine vision camera, features a resolution of 2 million pixels (1600 x 1200). The camera outputs the raw color information for interpolation on a host PC. Measuring 40(h) x 50(w) x 120(l) mm, the camera is based on a progressive scan 1" format Kodak 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.

The CV-M8CL also features 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, adjustable 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 in very quick succession. This allows the most suitable exposure to be selected later for further processing. Adjustable gamma response allows 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. A high-resolution photograph is available for viewing and download at www.jaipulnix.com.
