The increased adoption of CoaXPress started from the increased bandwidth capabilities and simplified cabling. It has continued with the ease of integration and the availability of compliant components. For instance, there is now a wide selection in frame grabber providers. The multiple providers of the CoaXPress IP cores further support implementation to give system designers…
The 2016 Automation World exhibition will be held March 9th through the 11th in conjunction with the 5th Korean Machine Vision Show for machine vision, semiconductor, robotics, and security system providers to see the latest component and technology developments.
CoaXPress is a digital interface standard that allows the transmission of data from a device, for example a camera, to a host such as a frame grabber in a PC, at a high speed of up to 6.25 Gbps over a single coax cable. There are many improvements to an imaging system that CoaXPress can unlock –…
CoaXPress is gaining momentum in machine vision (and healthcare and global security systems) because of its advantages that go beyond just data-bandwidth. If you are looking to upgrade your imaging system and currently use Camera Link cameras (and even if you use something else or building a new system), here are some considerations.
When a system designer identifies a need for a component, such as a camera, the first step is of course a website search. The initial search may include basics such as by desired resolution, interface, and frame speed. The next way to narrow down the selection would be by imaging performance criteria such as signal…
For many global security systems, the optical format was decided by the initial choice of the image sensor, for instance a 1/3” VGA sensor or 2/3” HD CCD image sensors with pixel sizes of 6 or 7 µm. These legacy systems are now due for upgrades to take advantage of the sensitivity, lower read noise…
We have talked about the move from CCD to CMOS in global security systems with the increase in low light performance (better NIR sensitivity and lower noise) of the latest CMOS global shutter image sensors.
Ruggedized, high-resolution digital HD and beyond CMOS cameras to upgrade from CCD to expand identification capabilities in low light
At the 2016 SPIE DCS 2016, Adimec demonstrated rugged CCD cameras and latest generation (Sony IMX250) CMOS based rugged cameras with color in low light.
