The Imaging Source has released a 13 Megapixel, 5.3mm lens, autofocus colour camera, based on Sony's Exmor CMOS technology.
The autofocus and on-board image enhancement algorithms provide excellent image quality and colour reproduction in low light conditions. Full HD video can be captured with up to 30fps and 13 Megapixels photos with 1fps. The camera has an integrated USB 3.0 interface and is placed in an industrial housing measuring 29 x 29 x 39mm. Macro lenses, wide angle lenses and tele lenses are available as accessories.
The camera is suited to video applications such as video conferencing, movie capture, medicine, logistics and traffic surveillance. Furthermore, it can be used to scan paper documents and books up to A3 in size. A number of automatic modes are available for varying light conditions.
Camera drivers for LabView, Halcon, DirectX, Twain and WDM are included. They also have drivers for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, the SDK IC Imaging Control 3.2 (.NET and C++ class library) and IC Capture. The latter allows all camera parameters to be set, live video to be displayed, singular images and image sequences to be captured.
