Why choose JAI - Spark?
Intelligent exposure control in dynamic lighting conditions
JAI’s Spark series offers built-in Automatic Level Control (ALC) linking shutter, gain, and iris for optimised exposure under changing light conditions. The advanced auto exposure function is designed for outdoor applications such as security and traffic applications where the scene illumination is constantly changing. Implementation effort can be tremendeously reduced, as the system adjusts itself to dynamic lighting conditions.
Designed for tough outdoor conditions
Spark cameras have a rugged design that allows them to withstand extreme temperatures (SP-20000 - Min / Max -45°C / +70°C), high vibration (max 10G) and high shock (max 80G). This design gives the Spark the highest standards of industrial ruggedness, reliability and durability in harsh environments.
Outstanding dynamic range and sensitivity
As well as incorporating sensors with large, low noise pixels, the Spark series also features advanced in-camera functions. High dynamic range modes, pattern correction, true correlated double sampling, analogue and digital gain control, and efficient global shutters are just some of the features that ensure low-noise, high-quality images with impressive megapixel-per-second performance.
High-speed data transmission with CoaXPress
A number of models offer a CoaXPress interface, which allows higher data rates than CameraLink and the use of longer cable lengths. This makes it possible to bridge greater distances between the camera and the host system, adding flexibility to the overall setup.
