Teledyne Dalsa is pleased to announce the release of low cost GigE & Cam Link color Line scan cameras

Teledyne Dalsa is pleased to announce the release of the Linea Color line scan cameras.

Starting at $1480, the Linea line scan Color cameras are the newest additions to the series built around advanced CMOS technology.  It delivers the best performance to cost ratio in the machine vision industry for color imaging with high speed, high responsivity, low noise and an extensive feature set.  


Feature Highlights: 

  • 2K, 4K and 8K Resolutions available with line rates of up to 48 kHz for 8k Camera link models.  
  • Built in color interpolation in Sapera LT host driver delivers 50% faster speed in RGB full color mode over Spyder 3 color cameras
  • Turbo Drive boosts speeds to achieve line rates that are 2-3X faster than standard GigE vision line rates.
  • AOI and ROI capability outputs and calibrates only regions you are interested in
  • Burst Mode captures the images at faster speeds when sample is passing the FOV and while transmits data during idle time.
  • Smart FFC provides a low pass filter that makes FFC easier without de-focusing the lens
  • White Balance ROI providing only white balance on a small ROI target
  • Noise Filter enables further noise reduction.  
  • LUT for High Dynamic Range Imaging allowing more details to be seen in both bright and dark scenes.  
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR) capable using the cycling mode feature  (See the short video on how to setup this feature )

Video Tutorial: How to setup HDR Imaging inTeledyne Dalsa’s Linea Line scan cameras

Teledyne Dalsa’s Linea line scan cameras are low cost and very feature rich.  Applications that require details to be seen in dark and bright areas require High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging.  

Linea’s cycling mode is a feature allowing HDR to be used in line scan applications.  




This short video provides a tutorial on how to setup this feature using the Teledyne Dalsa Linea line scan camera.

Learn how “Pixel Clock Overdrive” by IDS created the fastest frame rates on the market using ON-SEMI Python Sensors!

IDS Imaging USB3.0 cameras with ON-SEMI Python image sensors just got faster by 30 %+ !

With the new release of the v4.80 of the IDS Cockpit software, several new features have been added including “Pixel Clock Overdrive”.  We have been touting the speeds which can be achieved with the new ON-SEMI Python sensors, but now IDS has bragging rights. 

With pixel clock overdrive, IDS’s CP USB3 cameras are the fastest on the market!



Using the new release (v4.8), a feature has been added allowing the pixel clock to be driven faster. This in turn results in higher frame rates surpassing key competitors on the market.  

1st Vision has compiled data showing the new higher frame rates in the chart to the left. 

 
Links to all IDS CP2 camera specifications with Python Image sensors can be found below: 

UI-3130CP – 800×600 
UI-3140CP – 1280×1024 
UI-3160CP – 1920 x 1200
UI-3180CP – 2592 x 2048





What’s the trick to achieve sustained, high speed frame rates?    
As camera sensors are getting faster, it becomes very important to ensure the right hardware is used.  Here are a few tips: 

  • Good Cables – Not all USB3 cables are created equal.  Poor cable quality can result in lost frame and an unstable system.  Ensure you have purchased USB3 cables that fully supports the USB3 vision standards.  
  • USB3 supported hardware – In high bandwidth applications, it becomes important to ensure your hardware supports the data transfer.  You must have a high performance PC to process the data.  A USB3.0 host controller with a Renesas chipset supporting multiple lines will be required to support the high data transfer.  Various approved USB3 adapters can be found HERE.
  • IDS Cockpit 4.8 or higher software supporting pixel clock overdrive and on-board camera memory for IDS cameras

Watch this quick tutorial to learn how to setup the IDS Cockpit software.  This short video will show you the right settings to achieve the the fastest frame rates.      


Did you know the new ON-SEMI sensors provide benefits of vertical and horizontal partial scanning!
Previous CMOS sensors only allowed an increase in frame rates by setting up a partial scan reducing the image height (y-axis).  Setting a Region Of Interest (ROI) or window in x and y-axis’s previously did NOT provide further gains until now!  The ON-SEMI Python sensors now allow speed increases from windowing in the x-axis in addition to the y-axis!
