Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The KODAK MEGAPLUS Camera, Model ES 310 is intended for machine
vision, medical imaging, and many other applications. The camera package is
compact and is operated through a connection to a host computer. The AIA
interface connector, located on the cameras rear panel, sends digital output video
to the computer and receives control commands from the computer.
Featuring an interline Charge Coupled Device (CCD) sensor array, the camera has
648(H) x 484 (V) light sensitive elements (pixels). These pixels are 9 microns
square and have a center to center spacing of 9 microns with a 60 % fill ratio.
The camera operates continuously or in a triggered mode. Exposure times as
short as 94 microseconds are possible with the cameras electronic shutter and
the frame rate is unaffected by the exposure time in continuous mode. The
camera has a dual output channel data rate of 20 MHz, with the fastest full frame
rate being 85 frames per second. Faster frame rates are possible in some operat-
ing modes. The camera can be connected to many commercially available frame
grabber boards capable of handling eight bits of digital video data, and requires
only eight watts of power.
