SVCam-svs285 U

SVCam-CF Line

Low Noise 1.4-Megapixel Camera

The svs285 U version compact camera is available with 12 Bit output at a
resolution of 1360 x 1024 pixel. These cameras are designed to reach
extraordinary performance at low noise and are enclosed in a very small
housing.
The modular concept of SVCam-CP provides our customers with a fast and low
cost way to design customized versions for application specific requirements.
Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) and a 1 x14 bit A/D Converter guarantee
an excellent signal to noise ratio.

The internal micro-controller allows different ways to adjust

the exposure time and select trigger modes including:
> Synchronization of image capture to an external event
(trigger mode)
> Free running with maximum frame rate
> Exposure time control via serial interface or by trigger pulse width
> Extend the exposure times under low light level conditions
