IDS Introduces Board-Level Industrial Camera With GigE Interface

IDS Imaging Development Systems, a global leader in medical and machine vision, has introduced the GigE uEye LE, a new board-level industrial camera that measures a mere 45 mm x 45 mm for integration into small spaces.

Thanks to its GigE interface the camera can deliver frame rates of 50 fps at full resolution. It comes equipped with the latest 1.3 Megapixel CMOS sensor from e2v and available as mono or color. An NIR version is also available with outstanding performance and dynamic range in the near-infrared spectrum.

When used with IDS software package 4.01, the e2v sensor offers a new Log mode for HDR images that enables the capture of sharp details even in overexposed and high dynamic range scenes. Additionally, the new sensor offers 4 shutter modes  -- rolling shutter, rolling shutter with global start, global shutter and global shutter wit alternative timing -- making the camera a perfect fit for a great range of industrial applications. 

The GigE uEye LE board camera has digital in- and outputs for trigger, flash, pulse-width modulation and 2 GPIOs, a feature that makes it especially useful for OEM customers. Power (12-24 V) is supplied via an external power supply. A M12 lens mount from Lensation is available as an option.
