SONY XCD-X710CR Product Description:

Sony's new XCD-X710CR progressive scan, IEEE 1394 camera is the latest addition to join Sony's growing line up of digital, high-speed cameras. This new digital camera satisfies the demand for high speed, color, progressive scan cameras and are ideally suited for those customers who need (a) a progressive scan camera that can achieve 30 frames/sec in color; (b) high resolution of 1024 x 768 in an industrial housing; and, (c) access to the raw pixel values so customers can do their own color processing. The "CR" in its model number stands for "Color Raw". This new "CR" model uses a CCD with a color mask (commonly called a "Bayer filter") and output the "raw color" pixel values in 8 or 10 bit to be converted to a color image on the computer. The color conversion that takes place in the computer is supported by Sony's new IEEE 1394 software and most 3rd party Firewire^R compatible software (e.g., Matrox, National Instruments and Unibrain).

FEATURES

• High frame rate and high rate scanning
• Separate gain for red, green and blue pixels to maximize the color S/N ratio
• Color conversion process handled by a computer (not by the camera)
• Multiple Cameras can be synchronized at full frame rate with trigger and will self-synchronize to the common Firewire compatible bus clock
• Fast software trigger
• Allows for multiple cameras on a single bus in 8-bit mode (less bandwidth per camera)
• Binning 1 x 2 and 2 x 2 for high frame rates and high sensitivity in monochrome
• High shock and vibration resistance
