Why "B" Stock products should be a viable option when looking to purchase Imaging Equipment
When searching for industrial cameras people might run across products for sale listed as either "A" or "B" stock. What does each "grade" mean? "A" stock - refers to brand new, unopened/factory-sealed products from the manufacturer. Prices are typically higher because it is a brand new item. Pretty straight-forward, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "B" stock - refers to (1) items where the...Sony to discontinue XCL-5000 B/W 5 MP Industrial Camera - XCL-5005 (5MP, PoCL, Mono/Color) is recommended replacement
In an announcement made by Sony last week, the XCL-5000 Black/White 5 Mega Pixel Industrial Camera is scheduled to be discontinued as of September 2008. In its place, Sony is recommending the XCL-5005 (monochrome) or XCL-5005CR (color) ultra high resolution 5 mega pixel PoCL industrial cameras. These two cameras adopt the AIA’s PoCL standard (Power Over Camera Link) and feature...High Performance, Near-IR, 1/2" IT CCD Industrial Camera at an affordable price - JAI/PULNIX TM-200NIR
