Like the existing AD-080 series, the AD-130GE incorporates a dichroic prism to provide simultaneous capture of both color and near-infrared (NIR) digital video on a single optical path for efficient multi-spectral inspection and analysis. As the model number implies, the AD-130GE provides 1.3 megapixel resolution (1296 x 966 pixels) compared to the 0.8-megapixel resolution of the existing AD-080 series. http://www.inspect-online.com/en/products/vision/jai-presents-new-multi-spectral-camera Mon, 21 May 2012 13:26:00 +0000 http://www.inspect-online.com/en/products/vision/karbon-cxp-frame-grabbers-coaxpress BitFlow today launched its Karbon-CXP line of frame grabbers, one of the world's first to incorporate the CoaXPress (CXP) standard for moving high-speed serial data from a camera to a frame grabber. The result is video acquisition at blazing speeds up to 6 Gigabits per second, as well as the ability to send control commands and triggers at 20 Megabits per second - all over a single piece of 75 Ohm coaxial cable up to 135 meters. Additionally up to 13W of power can be transmitted to camera along the cable. http://www.inspect-online.com/en/products/vision/karbon-cxp-frame-grabbers-coaxpress Mon, 21 May 2012 13:10:00 +0000 http://www.inspect-online.com/en/news/aias-machine-vision-camera-study-now-available AIA's first ever study of the global market for machine vision cameras is now available for purchase.
