576 Sony Europe's Image Sensing Solutions division has unveiled its new colour GigE camera module.

The unit implements the ICX- 674AQG colour CCD sensor, which captures full HD (1920x1080) images at 60fps and 2.8Mp (1920x1440) images at 50fps.

Sony says that its resolution, high frame rate and colour sensor make the camera suited to a wide range of vision applications, from ITS and security to component inspection and agriculture, where colour, image quality, sensitivity and speed are paramount.

The 50x50x57.5mm C mount unit includes a partial scan mode for high speed acquistion. The module is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista and XP, compliant wth GigE v1.2 and upgradable to GigE v2.0.

"We have engineered the unit to get more from the Sony image sensor; this means that image and colour metrics can be more accurately analysed to obtain more reliable data," said Myriam Beraneck, European marketing manager at Sony ISS.

Samples are available immediately and the device will be in mass production from February 2012.

    Camera technology a flexible and cost-effective option
    Perceptions of machine vision being an expensive solution are being challenged by developments in both core technologies and ancillaries. Here, Jason Barnes and David Crawford look at the latest developments in the sector. A notable aspect of machine vision is the flexibility it offers in terms of how and how much data is passed around a network. With smart cameras, processing capabilities at the front end mean that only that which is valid need be communicated back to a central processor of any descripti
