Adimec, a world leader in application-specific, leading-edge industrial camera solutions, announces the release of the latest member of the CMOS-based QUARTZ series, the Q-12A65. The Q-12A65 camera is based on the CMOSIS CMV12000 image sensor and delivers 12 Megapixel at 66 fps.
This camera was previously available for evaluation at a select group of customers and is now commercially available within our standard product offering. By using the evaluation feedback, Adimec tuned and improved the Q-12A65 to be the ideal machine vision camera for demanding inspection and complex metrology systems. The result is a stable and reliable camera that excels in delivering highly uniform images with linear response. The Q-12A65 is a 12 megapixel CMOS global shutter camera and delivers images of 4096 x 3072 pixels at 66 frames per second (fps). It is equipped with the Camera Link deca interface but also supports full configurations. The high sensitivity and superb shutter performance of the CMV12000 image sensor enables excellent performance in light-starved and high-speed applications.
As with other members of the QUARTZ family, the new camera offers a range of quality-enhancing features. It includes Adimec's Active Sensor Control with local as well as global advanced Flat Field Correction (FFC) capabilities, even in color and with field calibration support. The camera has special additional functions such as for signal-to-noise adjustments with up to 12 dB shot noise improvement compared to off-the-shelf CMV12000 sensor performance. It also offers an HDR mode for wide dynamic range scene capture.
