Manta series expanded

Allied Vision Technologies has expanded its best-selling Manta camera series. Alongside two new models - the G-145/30fps and G-201/30fps - each member of the family is getting new firmware with additional functions as well as a wide selection of modular concept variations, including a GigE Vision interface with Power over Ethernet support. The Manta G-145/30fps is based on the already wellknown Manta G-145 with Sony ICX285, but it delivers 30 images per second at full resolution, 1.4 megapixels which is twi

518 Allied Vision Technologies has expanded its best-selling Manta camera series. Alongside two new models - the G-145/30fps and G-201/30fps - each member of the family is getting new firmware with additional functions as well as a wide selection of modular concept variations, including a GigE Vision interface with Power over Ethernet support.

The Manta G-145/30fps is based on the already wellknown Manta G-145 with 576 Sony ICX285, but it delivers 30 images per second at full resolution, 1.4 megapixels which is twice as many as its sister model. Meanwhile, the new Manta G-201/30fps is similar; like the Manta G-201 it is equipped with the two-megapixel Sony ICX 274 CCD sensor but instead of 14fps it achieves 30 fps at full resolution.

Additional optional hardware variants for all Mantra family models include four different turned-head housings to ease fitting the camera into systems where depth clearance is tight. Also new is the Power over Ethernet (PoE) interface. This Gigabit Ethernet interface enables the implementation of so-called 'single cable solutions' within the Manta family, since power is delivered via the data cable. Meanwhile, all Manta cameras now have new firmware with many additional functions for even better camera control, camera adjustment, and image processing.

    Stemmer Imaging has announced the VTR3, a compact, integrated enclosure for traffic monitoring applications, complete with camera, lens and high brightness infrared or white LED lighting technology. The unit's high-brightness strobed LED illumination source from Gardasoft Vision is designed for ANPR applications such as car park entry/exit or average speed installations spanning many lanes. The lights can strobe in sync with a free running camera, or they can accept an external trigger signal to synchronise

    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    Radar can have distinct advantages in some transport-related situations as Colin Sowman found out during a visit to Navtech Radar. Despite tremendous advances in machine vision techniques, the accuracy and reliability of camera-based detection systems suffer during periods of poor visibility where other technologies may offer an alternative. Radar is one such technology. It too has seen significant development in recent years and according to Navtech Radar, the technology can often fulfil detection and moni
