Flexible resolution and speed

The MC1310/11 of Mikrotron is a high-speed megaPixel CMOS camera with a resolution of 1280 (H) x 1024 (V) pixel and up to 500 fps. Contrary to high resolution CCD-sensors, modern CMOS-sensors offer high resolution and extremely high data rates. Because window size, position (ROI), and clock frequency is randomly programmable, resolution and frame rate of MC1310/11 can be easily adapted to any specific requirements.

Easy configuration
MC1302/03 configuration is done via the Camera Link ™ interface. Eight sets of camera configuration schemes can be stored in non-volatile memory of the cameras microcontroller. Even the FPGA configuration file can be downloaded for very special customer needs e.g.: image preprocessing in MC1310/11 hardware.

Window size and position (ROI) on the imager plus clock speed are programmable. With a pixel clock of 33 MHz on the "Base" Camera Link™ connector and a window size of 100 x 100 pixel a frame rate of more than 5000 fps can be achieved. Maximum video data rate at the 64-bit "Full" Camera Link™ connector is 660 MByte/sec.

"Freeze Frame" full frame shutter
The MC1302/03 has a "Freeze Frame" shutter. This shutter "freezes" and stores the complete full frame at the end of the exposure time while exposing the next image.

In this way the full frame shutter makes the sharply defined ex-posure of very fast, dynamic processes possible. MC1310/11 can expose images synchronously or asynchronously. In synchronous (free run) mode exposure time equals frame time or, for shorter exposure times, the electronic shutter can be activated with a minimal shutter time of 4µs. In asynchronous mode an image is exposed by an external trigger.

Camera Link™ compatible output
Using 2x10-Bit data output the full dynamic range of the sensor is available on the output. If less bandwidth and more speed is desired, any 8-Bits out of the 10-Bits of the sensor can be selected and output as 2x8-Bit, 8x8-Bit as "Full" Camera Link® output format or 10x8bit as "Extended Full" Camera Link®.

Horizontal and Vertical Pixelbinning
With high frame rates the exposure time is short. For more sensitiv-ity the grey level of two adjacent or pixel in one row or one column or both can be summed.

ImageBLITZ.Image trigger
ImageBLITZ. integrates the function of an optical sensor or any other external actuator inside MC1310/11 hardware without any support of an image processing system.

The hardware inside the camera controls with very high repetition rate the intensity along an arbitrary selectable piece of one of the 1024 rows of the imager. If along that piece of the selected row a selectable number of grey values are beyond or below a selectable threshold, one complete image is automatically exposed and output.

This is the advantage: no mounting and adjustment of an optical sensor and each object is captured at the exact same position of the image.

Camera configuration tool
The MC1310/11 is delivered with a configuration program for Windows™ operating systems. The clearly defined control surface allows to work with it intuitively. All parameters of the camera may be set directly or via sliders. The resulting commands are transmitted by the serial interface of Camera Link™ and can be reviewed by the integrated command monitor. The selected settings may be stored in the camera or in a separate file
