The VC4438 is one of the world's fastest and most excellent
Smart Cameras with computational power of 8000 MIPS rivalling a 7.2 GHz
Pentium. It has 64 MB DRAM, 4 MB Flash EPROM for program and data
storage (Expanded by the standard 512 MB SD card inside).
It can acquire full frame 640 x 480 pixels at 63 frames per second!
The
own internal operating system ''VCRT'' of the VC4438 is multitasking.
This means that multiple processes can be executed in parallel.
The
camera has also a High Speed Trigger input with absolute constant
capture delay, which allows absolutely jitterfree image acquisition
even at very high speed processes.
And
whereas a standard progressive scan camera gets a trigger, starts
exposure and then reads out the pixel data, the VC4438 has optimized
the image acquisition process so that exposure, readout and the image
processing can be done in parallel.
IIt
has an 8 bit colour overlay which can operate in opaque or
semi-transparent mode so that you can block out or still see the
underlying image.
All Vision Components
Smart Cameras are built for industrial applications. They are
insensitive to shock and vibration, and have multiple I/O lines for
direct control of external equipment. For more complex control tasks,
they can easily be interfaced to a PLC.
