Single-board smart camera
Staff -- Test & Measurement World, 5/1/2005
Vision Components has introduced the SBC4018, the first member in its 40xx series of single-board smart cameras aimed at OEM applications and inspection. The rugged SBC4018, which offers 3200 MIPS of onboard DSP computational power, features 16 Mbytes of onboard SDRAM image memory and 2 Mbytes of flash EPROM for data and program storage. The camera also offers outputs for lighting control, progressive scan CCD, instant triggering, full-frame integration, and electronic shutter, all in a 60x80-mm package. A Fast-Ethernet remote-head option addresses applications where space is scarce. Pre-emptive multi-tasking permits users to run several processes simultaneously so they can change parameters on-the-fly without affecting either inspection or communication processes.
