USB2.0 2048 Pixel High-speed CCD Line Cameras

Product information "USB2.0 2048 Pixel High-speed CCD Line Cameras"

2 MP; Pixel Size 14x14 µm; B/W; 3300 fps; Resolution 12 bit; USB 2.0; Buffered; External Trigger; 300-1050 nm; Board-level or Enclosed; Windowless Version Available

Mightex’s TCN/TCE-1209-U series are cost-effective, high-performance, monochrome line CCD cameras with external trigger, based on a single-line, 2048-pixel, 12 bit CCD chip with USB2.0 (480 Mbit/s) interface. These compact linear cameras are ideal for a variety of OEM applications in industry process control, optics, biology, spectroscopy and reflection imaging – available as “naked” board-level device (TCN-1209-U) or pre-mounted in an enclosure (TCE-1209-U), also in a windowless version (TCE-1209-UW) with the glass window removed from the image sensor.

CCD line cameras have several advantages over their area-array counterparts, including the high optical linear resolution that allows systems developers to use the cameras to capture two-dimensional (2-D) images by moving the object or the CCD perpendicularly to the scan line.

Setting up the TCN/TCE-1209-U line cameras is very easy: the user simply installs the application software (included in the shipping package) and then connects the line camera to the PC using a USB cable. There is no need to install a DAC card, and no external power supply is required. A full-featured SDK and a Linux driver are also available.

Note: Board-level cameras are designed for OEM applications, when a system-level enclosure is usually provided. In order to avoid electro-static discharge (ESD) related damages, workforce handling a board-level camera should be properly grounded. ESD related damages are considered as mishandling and are not covered by product warranty. For lab use, it is strongly recommended to choose an enclosed camera instead of a board-level one.

OCI™ Series Hyperspectral Imagers
400-1700 nm; 12-240 Spectral Bands; Push-broom, Snapshot Operation Mode; Spectral Resolution 3-15 nm FWHM; Max. Frame Rate 8-120 fps; Standard Lens 16, 35, 45 mm (21°, 18°, 17° FOV) Within its OCI™ Series of hyperspectral imagers (OCI is a phonetic spelling of "all seeing eye"), BaySpec offers systems ranging from miniaturized push-broom cameras for visible to near-infrared (NIR) to handheld snapshot hyperspectral imagers, hyperspectral cameras designed specifically for use on unmanned aerial vehicles/systems (UAV/UAS), all the way to ready-to-fly UAV systems for aerial hyperspectral imaging. OCI™­ F Series cameras are miniaturized (14 x 7 x 7 cm) and lightweight (~570 g) push-broom hyperspectral cameras covering the full visible (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range from 400 to 1000 nm, or short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range from 900 to 1700 nm. The cameras feature a super-speed USB 3.0 interface for fast data transfer rates up to 60 fps. Not dependent on a constant scanning speed, the OCI ­F Series offers versatility on various platforms such as UAVs with perfect hyperspectral image stitching. Three models with 60, 120 or 240 spectral bands are available. The OCI™-2000 snapshot handheld hyperspectral imager brings high-performance hyperspectral imaging in a handheld form factor weighing only approximately 450 g. The OCI™-2000 imager acquires full, continuous VIS to NIR hyperspectral/multispectral data with simple point-and-shoot operation. Compact OCI™-OEM hyperspectral cameras are the optical engines of the handheld OCI-1000™ (push-broom) and OCI-2000™ (snapshot) hyperspectral imager, featuring extreme compactness and fast data transfer rate. The high-performance hyperspectral/multispectral cameras work in push-broom mode (OCI™-U-1000) or snapshot mode (OCI™-U-2000) with high spectral resolution and fast speed in a compact form factor weighing less than 180 g. Continuous hyperspectral data capturing can happen at video rates. Compactness, simple operation and optional SDK makes the OCI™-OEM integration an effortless task. OCI™-UAV airborne hyperspectral cameras are push-broom (OCI™-UAV-1000) or snapshot (OCI™-UAV-2000) cameras designed specifically for use on unmanned aerial vehicles/systems (UAV/UAS), or remotely operated vehicles (ROV). Packed with a high-performance, miniature single-board-computer, they acquire VIS to NIR hyperspectral data with continuous spectral and spatial coverage. Ready-to-fly hyperspectral total solutions are also available. Operating of the OCI-UAV cameras is automatic and requires minimal human intervention. The OCI™-M+, a push-broom multispectral imager is specifically designed for aerial imaging, featuring a lightweight camera with compact size. It comes with 12 selective bands including three RGB bands, and nine spectral bands from red edge to NIR – most commonly used for precision agriculture. This imager is fully integrated with DJI Inspire 2 UAV allowing the maximum field coverage with high spatial resolution (4000 spatial pixels). Fully integrated and easy to operate, the OCI-M+ UAV ready-to-fly package has made aerial imaging process very straightforward, and is ideal for applications such as precision agriculture, remote sensing, and geological survey. BaySpec’s OCI™-D airborne VIS-NIR hyperspectral imager with extended wavelength range covers full VIS-NIR wavelength range from 475 to 975 nm. Being a snapshot hyperspectral imager, OCI-D2000 fundamentally eliminates artifacts caused by motions during flight. These innovations significantly reduce the requirements on UAV system, so that integration is almost effortless for many UAV/ROVs. Included with BaySpec’s SpecGrabber™ for camera control and data acquisition, and CubeCreator™ for hyperspectral data processing, the OCI™-D imager offes up to 40 spectral bands with 500x250 pixels and 12 to 15 nm resolution with video rate speed.
