The XCD-SX910CR camera is the latest addition to Sony's IEEE 1394 digital camera family. The XCD-SX910CR output raw image data(raw bayer), which allows the images to be captured at high frame rate. Like the XCD-SX910, the CR version employs a progressive scan CCD with square pixels, making it ideal for a variety of industrial applications. The XCD-SX910CR incorporates a 1/2 type 1,450,000 pixels(1376x1024 Pixels) CCD and offers SXGA resolution images. The camera incorporates an external trigger function, allowing for fast moving objects to be clearly captured or still images in low light environments. A variety of convenient features such as partial scan (16 x 16 zones) and selectable output modes (frame rate/bit depth) make this camera extremely flexible.
