The AVT Prosilica GE family is a powerful and compact camera series with GigE Vision interface. The series comprises 13 monochrome and coloured sensor versions and different functionalities. A selection of different progressive scan CCD sensors from Sony and Kodak with resolutions from VGA to 5 megapixels meet different requirements and guarantee excellent image quality and colour fidelity. The sensor signals are digitised using a 12-bit A/D converter and can be output in numerous formats, such as Mono8/16, Bayer8/16, RGB24, BGR24 or YUV4xx. Frame rates can be increased using partial scan or binning.
Due to to their I/Os, RS232 interface (in/out) and different trigger modes the AVT Ge models can be used very flexibly in production control, process monitoring, medical imaging or for sports monitoring. A 32 Mbyte memory is used for deferred data transmission and for use of the recorder mode (camera is running free and sends n images before and after a trigger signal); it also prevents data loss in case of excessive triggering.
The data is output via standard CAT5e and CAT6 cables with lengths of up to 100 m using Gigabit Ethernet technology. Theoretically unlimited distances are possible when using switches. Configuration and integration of the cameras is easy using either the manufacturer's SDK or CVB CameraSuite, both included in the delivery. SDKs are also available for Linux and QNX.
