Pixelink PL-A781 Hi-Res Monochrome Inspection Camera

The PixeLINK PLA781 has a rich set of features and capabilities all controllable through software. A rolling shutter and external trigger allows synchronization in demanding machine vision applications. In video mode, the PixeLINK PL A781 can deliver 30 fps at 1k x 1k resolution, 78 fps at VGA resolution (640 x 480) and 4700 fps at 24 x 24, all with user-definable region of interest (ROI). Full field-of-view images can be decimated for high speed transmission. The PixeLINK PL-A781 has a user-selectable 8 or 10-bit output. The CMOS sensor architecture provides excellent anti-blooming capability. With the Software Developer's Kit (SDK), PixeLINK supplies an extensive Application Programming Interface (API) and camera control Graphical User Interface (GUI) for fast and easy application development. This functionality includes additional trigger modes, general purpose outputs that can be used as communication lines for strobe signals for lighting and motion controllers. Included is an on-board user-programmable lookup table (LUT) applied in real time, on-board non-volatile memory for camera configuration and camera configuration descriptors for quick changes to camera settings between frames. Multi-slope dynamic range controls, enables balanced exposure in images with large inner-scene dynamic range.
