Waterloo, Can., June 11, 2002 -- DALSA has released its DALSTAR 1M28-SA CMOS Area Camera - the first in a series of small-body, "Stop Action" (SA) cameras that feature electronic shuttering. The 1M28 uses a 1-megapixel CMOS image sensor capable of 27 frames per second at full resolution.
The camera features LINLOG, an award-winning technology that significantly increases intrascene dynamic range (up to 120dB). With LINLOG, the camera operates linearly up to a threshold of charge collected then changes its response to a logarithmic compression. This technology is of particular benefit in applications where there are large differences in brightness like welding and traffic management.
The 1M28-SA features global non-rolling shuttering which greatly reduces image blur by simultaneously exposing the entire pixel array rather than sequencing the exposure line-by-line as is typical of other CMOS devices on the market today. The 1M28-SA camera incorporates programmable and diagnostic features that are fully accessible through a Camera Link MDR26 connector. Packaged in a robust, small body, with selectable 8 or 10-bit digitization, the 1M28 is capable of achieving frame rates of more than 100,000 frames per second with windowing, and is suitable for electronics manufacturing inspection, industrial metrology, medical imaging and traffic management.
The 1M28 is available now with standard manufacturing lead times.
