3CCD Progressive Scan Color CameraLink Camera

The Hitachi HVF22CL is a SXGA high precision 3CCD progressive scan color camera, which has single chip digital processing LSI, a C mount prism, three 1/2-inch 1,450,000 pixels square CCDs, and Camera Link interface. A newly developed multi-functional LSI use the accurate 14 bit digital processing technology, which performs the high picture quality signal processing and the picture compensating functions, beyond the capability of the other conventional analog cameras. The Camera Link interface that is the standard of the digital camera for FA makes it possible to transmit large capacity digital data effectively with less wire number than a conventional RS-644 method.

The HV F22CL 1/2 inch 1,450,000 pixels progressive scan CCD and the accurate CCD matching technology achieves a high-resolution image of 1360 H x 1024 V (SXGA). Based on the medium configuration of Camera Link, which includes the digital video signal of 30 bits RGB, an external trigger input, and camera control signal (RS-232C). The Hitachi�s most advanced technology (0.18 um design process, 1.8V internal core drive voltage) produces a single newly developed ultra LSI chip (3 million gates), and contributes to the downsizing and the low power of the camera. In addition, the 12-bit A/D converter and 14 bit internal processor provide high S/N and wide dynamic range. The de facto industry standard C mount lens adapter allows choosing from a various type of lenses and optical systems. Color shading due to the aberration of C mount lens is automatically compensated (reduced).
