Compact camera reaches XGA resolution
The XC-HR70 camera captures 29.2 frames per second and is the industry's first to deliver XGA resolution at such a small size, measuring just 29 x 29 x 30mm.
Cameras provide top-end image quality
Sony has extended its range of FCB colour block video cameras with new Series B units.
Initial participants include Euresys; FDS; I2S; Jencam; MaxxVision; MVTech; NeoVision; Tordivel; and Unibrain.
"We are committed to rapidly expanding the Sony Vision Network", said Arnaud Destruels, Product Marketing Manager at Sony ISS.
"Systems integrators, distributors and dealers will play a key role in this collaboration, since they are often in the best position of all to identify customers' exact requirements".
"We'll be taking active steps to increase the number of such companies involved".
Initial members of the Sony Vision Network bring systems expertise, GUI-based development tools, software libraries and hardware such as lighting systems and lenses - in fact all of the elements needed to build a complete machine vision system.
By setting up such a Network, Sony aims not just to provide customers with the assurance of hardware and software combinations that will work together, but also to make it easier to access the expertise required to complete a project.
This includes not only machine vision and image processing advice, but also experience in the use of such technologies in specific industries.
New hardware developments like the introduction of smart cameras bring benefits including increased intelligence at the point of image acquisition; potential cost savings; and increased simplicity through a reduction in the number of system components.
As such they enable end-users, OEMs and integrators alike to quickly configure image processing solutions using a consistent hardware platform.
"However, as with a desktop PC, the hardware is nothing without hardware peripherals, software to run on it, and support to ensure a successful overall implementation", said Destruels.
