Flexible resolution and speed
The MC1310/11 of Mikrotron is a high-speed megaPixel CMOS
camera with a resolution of 1280 (H) x 1024 (V) pixel and up to
500 fps. Contrary to high resolution CCD-sensors, modern
CMOS-sensors offer high resolution and extremely high data
rates. Because window size, position (ROI), and clock
frequency is randomly programmable, resolution and frame rate
of MC1310/11 can be easily adapted to any specific
requirements.
Easy configuration
MC1310/11 configuration is done via the Camera Link®
interface. Eight sets of camera configuration schemes can be
stored in non-volatile memory of the cameras microcontroller.
Even the FPGA configuration file can be downloaded for very
special customer needs e.g. image preprocessing in
MC1310/11 hardware.
Window size and position (ROI) on the sensor plus clock speed
are programmable. With a pixel clock of 33 MHz on the “Base”
Camera Link® connector and a window size of 100 x 100 pixel
a frame rate of more than 5.000 fps can be achieved. Maximum
video data rate at the 64-Bit “Full” Camera Link® connector is
660 MB/s.
"Freeze Frame" full frame shutter
The MC1310/11 has a "Freeze Frame“ shutter. This shutter
"freezes“ and stores the complete full frame at the end of the
exposure time while exposing the next image.
In this way the full frame shutter makes the sharply defined
exposure of very fast, dynamic processes possible. MC1310/11
can expose images synchronously or asynchronously. In
synchronous (free run) mode exposure time equals frame time
or, for shorter exposure times, the electronic shutter can be
activated with a minimal shutter time of 4µs. In asynchronous
mode an image is exposed by an external trigger.
Camera Link® compatible output
Using 2x10-Bit data output the full dynamic range of the sensor is
available on the output. If less bandwidth and more speed is
desired, any 8-Bits out of the 10-Bits of the sensor can be selected
and output as 2x8-Bit, 8x8-Bit as "Full" Camera Link® output
format or 10x8bit as "Extended Full" Camera Link®.
Horizontal and Vertical Pixelbinning
With high frame rates the exposure time is short. For more
sensitivity the level of two adjacent or pixel in one row or one
column or both can be summed.
ImageBLITZ
image trigger
ImageBLITZ
integrates the function of an optical sensor or any
other external actuator inside MC1310/11 hardware without any
support of an image processing system.
The hardware inside the camera controls with very high repetition
rate the intensity along an arbitrary selectable piece of one of the
1024 rows of the sensor. If along that piece of the selected row a
selectable number of grey values are beyond or below a selectable
threshold, one complete image is automatically exposed and
output.
This is the advantage: no mounting and adjustment of an optical
sensor and each object is captured at the exact same position of
the image.
Camera configuration tool
The MC1310/11 is delivered with a configuration program for
Windows® operating systems. The clearly defined control surface
allows to work with it intuitively. All parameters of the camera, e.g.
image size and position, speed, shutter, exposure time may be set
directly or via sliders. The resulting commands are transmitted by
the serial interface of Camera Link®. The selected settings may be
stored in the camera or in a separate file. Also integrated is a
monitor to show the transmitted commands and answers from the
camera.
