GEViCAM GD-3400C GigE Vision Camera

The GEViCAM GD-3400C is comprised of dual-tap Gigabit Ethernet cameras for industrial applications. They are designed on a common platform and comply with the GigE Vision standard for plug-and-play performance as well as a proprietary high performance SDK. GD-3400C uses 1/3" VGA (648 x 480) high sensitivity CCD (KAI-340D) with dual 12-bit A/D converters. The normal data output is selectable for 12- bit, 10-bit (MSB), or 8-bit (MSB) at 100 MHz to maintain excellent over-all camera S/N ratio of >52 dB at factory default. The frame rate is 270 fps for full resolution, 515 fps with 240 line partial scan, 525 fps with two row binning and 1300 fps center scan. For multiple camera applications, it accepts external trigger via GPIO (general purpose I/O) and resets the internal timing with no-delay and a time stamp to provide exact image locations. This eliminates a need for external sync (HD/ VD), which tends to generate some PLL jitter. Streamlined designs for the camera and GigE section reduce the component count and make these cameras very compact and low cost, yet high performance. This is an ideal opportunity to upgrade machine vision applications from conventional analog cameras (+ frame grabber) to frame grabber-less systems for improved cost-performance.
