Sony Releases Information on New XC-505 / XC-505P 1/3-type CCD Camera
Sony's new XC-505 and XC-505P are ultra-compact and lightweight color video cameras incorporating a highsensitivity, high-performance 1/3-type Super HAD II CCD. Compared to Sony’s popular XC-555 camera, the XC-505 and XC-505P are equipped with several new features including one-push white balance, noise reduction (2D/3D), a built-in color bar, DTL function, and RS-232C support. These cameras use an NF lens system...Block Camera Functions Now Controllable Via USB 2.0 inside Customized Housing Assembly
Sony's FCB standard definition block cameras are now available with USB-2.0 offering power, video, and controls over the same connector in the USB 2.0 housing kit configuration available from Aegis Electronic Group, Inc. USB 2.0 is still the favored interface used throughout the world do to the simplicity of use and inexpensive cost associated with the integration of USB systems...Back to Camera Basics: Things You Need To Know Before Choosing Your Industrial Camera
I've mentioned this in the past, but always like to refer back to it because understanding the basic parameters of what you need for your imaging application is crucial to not only successfully finding the right camera but it cuts your research time literally in half because you already know a little bit about what you are looking for. So...Back to Camera Basics: C-mount and CS-mount Lenses
C and CS-mount are both threaded lens mounts found on a majority of industrial CCD cameras and lenses. The difference between C and CS-mount equipment is called the flange back distance. The flange back distance is the distance between where the lens comes in contact with the camera (the flange) and where the CCD sensor must be positioned (the focal...Fog, smoke, snow, and rain are no match for this new surveillance lens technology - Pentax introduces their new mid, and long range zoom PAIR lenses
GOLDEN, CO (November 17, 2009)…PENTAX Imaging Company has announced new technology to overcome the big challenges of the atmospheric interference of fog, snow, and haze in outdoor live security surveillance. PENTAX Atmospheric Interference Reduction (PAIR) system technology offers newly developed image processing circuitry installed directly within PENTAX lens housings with specific step by step signal processing for each lens characteristic...Far Reaching Imaging Requires the Flexibility of SONY's XCG Gigabit Ethernet Cameras
While Sony VIP was one of the last camera manufacturers on the market to release their signature line of Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) cameras, the quality of these four cameras is certainly not the lowest found. The first interface standard to allow fast transfers (1000 Mbps) of data using standard low cost cables over long lengths of up to 100 meters...UK Report Findings Show the Benefits of Industrial Speed Cameras Go Beyond Traffic Control
Governments have reasons for deploying traffic enforcement cameras—the safety of motorists and pedestrians and raising local revenues, for example. But across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom’s Sustainable Development Commission has some bigger ideas. Speed cameras and related technologies to influence driver behavior can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the commission said in a 64-page report, “Smarter Moves,” released January 25...CCD and CMOS sensors become more finely tuned
The main goal in machine vision is not to acquire the perfect picture but to extract the right information. By Ann R. Thryft, Contributing Technical Editor -- Test & Measurement World, 12/1/2009 2:00:00 AM Many of the characteristics that engineers look for in machine-vision cameras are determined by the image sensor at the heart of that camera. High-quality images, high...From SD to 1080p, Sony Offers Smooth Transition with EVI P/T/Z Camera Line
Initially set to pave the road to high-definition image acquisition and excellent user experiences, Sony's additions to its successful EVI series last year, the EVI-HD3V and EVI-HD7V have been far from disappointing. The EVI-HD3V and EVI-HD7V are second generation high-definition (HD) industrial cameras fromthat are perfect for video conferencing, distance learning and corporate training as well as surveillance, sports, concerts...
