STUTTGART, GERMANY -- 11/03/09 --
VISION 2009 - Hall 4, Booth # D53 -- DALSA Corporation (TSX: DSA), a global
leader in machine vision technology, today announced the availability of a
GigE Vision(TM)-compliant version of its successful Spyder3 Color camera. DALSA's Spyder3 Color is a color line scan
camera based on the successful Spyder3 dual line scan monochrome model.
This camera provides a low-cost solution with high color fidelity,
flexibility, and ease of use. The Spyder3 Color GigE camera will be
introduced here at VISION 2009 in Stuttgart,
Germany at the DALSA stand in Hall 4, Booth D53.
The Spyder3 Color has the red and blue color pixels alternating in one line
and all the green pixels in the other line with no spacing between the two
lines to minimize image artifact. The camera offers several color output
format options, including RGB, RG/BG, or G only to meet different imaging
requirements. This camera also incorporates advanced features such as flat
field correction, automatic white balance, and is pre-calibrated to common
light sources such as white LEDs, for ease of use. GigE Vision is a camera
interface standard that allows fast image transfer over the Gigabit
Ethernet communication protocol with much longer cable length compared with
Camera Link interface.
Since its release, the Spyder3 camera has become one of the most successful
imaging products in the marketplace. It has been designed into applications
such as flat panel display inspection, postal sorting, wood and steel
inspection, food inspection, web inspection, and many others.
"The new Spyder3 Color GigE camera incorporates DALSA's innovative dual
line design for excellent color images with outstanding noise performance
and flexibility, combined with a low cost," said Xing-Fei He, Senior
Product Manager at DALSA. "In addition, the GigE Vision-compliant interface
enables easy integration with other components, longer cable length from
camera to PC, and cost saving for our customers' vision systems."
DALSA's Spyder3 Color camera offers 2k and 4k resolutions with a 14x14um or
10x10um pixel size. The camera offers proven performance for OEMs and
systems integrators to compete successfully in the machine vision industry.
Key features and benefits include:
-- Seamless interoperation among compliant hardware and software from
different vendors;
-- High bandwidth (1000 Mbps) for image transfer in real time up to 100
meters in length;
-- High resolution (2k/14um and 4k/10um pixels resolution)
-- High throughput (80 Mpixels/s throughput, max 18kHz line rate)
-- Standard Gigabit Ethernet network architecture allows single or
multiple camera connection to single or multiple computers;
-- Low cost cables, and low cost integration.
-- RGB, RG/BG, or G output formats
