Kappa Cameras from AV Supply

Kappa DX denotes complete and ready-to-use camera systems, which means the scope of delivery includes not only a camera, but also a data cable, frame grabber, power supply unit, and the Kappa CameraControl (KCC) software. The DX4-274CL digital camera system features variable camera electronics, low power consumption and advanced circuitry.

The digital PS cameras have been designed especially for software integrations. The matching Kappa sdk3 offers state-of-the-art software environment based on .net and C-API. 

The camera series is based on a variable camera electronics, lower power consumption and advanced circuitry, providing  both an extremely rugged design and excellent signal quality.

The digital Kappa camera systems comply with the highest standards and offer outstanding Kappa-specific technological highlights, such as rugged design, excellent highly linear signal-to-noise ratio, long-time exposure.

The Signature Cameras can be operated at mega pixel resolution with real time signal processing, 12 to 30 fps (full image), binning, partial scan, GigE- or CameraLink interface as a standard industrial camera.

Kappa was one of the first camera manufacturers to offer cooled cameras and today it maintains this tradition with its latest generation of Peltier-cooled sensors. The major difference between back then and today is that thermo-electrical systems have replaced coolants as a means of generating differences in temperature. 

The matching Kappa sdk3 offers a state-of-the-art software environment based on .net and C-API. In combination with the sdk or a detailed interface description the PS cameras convince as high- performance components in all measuring and testing machines.

As standard the series comes in a block housing, but for the individual touch it is also available in a striking hexagonal design housing. The user can choose from a range of high quality CCD sensors with mega pixel resolution by Sony and Kodak.

The digital PS cameras have been designed especially for software integration. High frame rates are achieved by binning and partial scan, while the image size remains freely adjustable.

The signature is created inside the camera according to the 1024 bit RSA signature procedure and according to the 512 bit SHA hash function. Thus, the signature complies with all technical legal requirements for “advanced- and qualified electronic signatures”.

To help reduce readout noise Kappa cameras can be read out with a reduced clock rate. Electronic noise is kept at bay by using high-quality components and employing sophisticated circuitry. In order to reduce the negative influence of noise it is advisable to keep electronic enhancement at a minimum.

The first digital camera with perfect images of the driver and the license plate. An extremely high dynamic range assures excellent contrasts in extremely bright as well as in extremely dark areas of the image.

With a verified minimum illumination of 0,00047lx the Kappa NVS is one of the most light-sensitive cameras on the security market. Maximum light sensitivity and 24 LED’s give you a clear view at night.

The cameras are equipped with 1/2“, 1/3“ or 1/4" CCD sensors and offer full video resolution at 752 x 582 pixel (PAL) or 768 x 494 pixel (NTSC). Equipped with a C-Mount and a one cable connection this all-round camera can be used in endo-, macro- and microscopy.
