9 and 12 megapixel sensors added to Genie Nano GigE camera family
1 Feb 2017
The Genie Nano range is characterised by Teledyne DALSA´s award-winning and patent-pending TurboDrive technology which allows image data to be transferred for processing at rates greater than normally possible with GigE Vision, but with no changes to the GigE network.
All the usual advantages of Gigabit Ethernet technology are retained, such as transmitting data over standard CAT-5e and CAT-6 cables to distances of up to 100 m. This unique approach means that Genie Nano can deliver its full image quality at 150% or more faster frame rates than normal for a given sensor - giving much faster production line throughput.
The 12M IMX253 sensors used in the Genie Nano-M4040 and C4040 cameras have a resolution of 4112 x 3012.
-
The sustained GigE Vision frame rate can be increased from 9.7 fps to 21 fps (dependent on the image content) using Turbodrive technology and
-
this can be further increased to 40 fps at full 12M resolution using the Burst Acquisition mode in conjunction with Turbodrive, with no decrease in image quality.
For the 9M (4112 x 2176 pixel) IMX255 sensors used in the Genie Nano-M4060 and C4060 cameras,
- image capture rates of 56 fps are possible using Burst Acquisition and Turbodrive.
- Sustained rates of 31 fps and 14.3 fps can be achieved with and without Turbodrive respectively.
All of the cameras in the range benefit from DALSA’s Trigger to Image Reliability (T2IR) framework, a built in combination of hardware and software features that improve the reliability of the inspection system and protect against data loss.
The robust construction, small footprint (44mm x 29mm x 21mm), light weight (46 grams) and wide operating temperature range (-20 to 60°C) of Genie Nano cameras make them ideally suited for a multitude of industrial production line imaging applications. They are also used extensively in intelligent traffic systems, printed circuit board inspection and metrology.
Introducing Genie Nano, a GigE vision CMOS area scan camera that redefines low cost performance. Genie Nano starts with industry leading CMOS sensors and adds proprietary camera technology for breakthrough speed, a robust build quality for wide operating temperature, and an unmatched feature set--all at an incredible price.
TurboDrive is a patent pending feature from Teledyne DALSA to increase the performance of GigE Vision systems. Watch this video to learn the details.
What did go wrong during your image acquisition process and why, so how can you avoid it from going wrong again? Trigger to Image Reliability (T2IR) enhances the reliability of your system. The feature is included in all frame grabbers from Teledyne DALSA and in lots of cameras. Learn what Trigger to Image Reliability is and how it works to make your machine vision system more secure.
