The PL-B741EF Machine Vision camera is a high performance, 1.3 megapixel monochrome camera offering excellent responsivity in the Near-IR. From 700nm to 1000nm, responisvity is substantially increased over the PL-B741F providing users with a solution Near-IR imaging at an affordable price.

Fully IIDC 1.31 compliant, the PL-B741EF uses a standard Firewire interface for plug-and-play operation with the host computer. Extended features such as trigger and general-purpose outputs add a level of functionality beyond the IIDC standard, providing excellent performance for the price. Factory calibrated Digital Pixel Correction and on board Flat Field Correction provides image quality similar to high-end CCD cameras.

The PL-B741EF Machine Vision camera has a rich set of features and capabilities all controllable through software. A global shutter and external trigger allow synchronization in demanding machine vision applications. In video mode, the camera can deliver 33fps at 1k x 1k resolution, 105 frames at VGA resolution (640 x 480), and 8000 fps at 472 x 8, all with a user-definable region of interest (ROI). Full field-of-view images can be decimated for high speed transmission. The camera has a user-selectable 8 or 10-bit output. The CMOS sensor architecture provides excellent anti-blooming capability. With the Software Developer’s Kit, PixeLINK supplies an extensive Application Programming Interface (API) and camera control GUI for fast and easy application control. This functionality includes multiple trigger modes and general purpose outputs that can be used for synchronizing strobe illumination for lighting and motion controllers. Included is an onboard user-programmable lookup table (LUT) applied in real time, onboard nonvolatile memory for camera configuration and camera configuration descriptors for quick changes to camera settings between frames. Multiple-slope dynamic range controls, enables balanced exposure in images with large intra-scene dynamic range. This Extended Shutter logarithmically increases the linear dynamic range of 54db to greater than 100db.

The PL-B741EF Machine Vision camera was designed for OEM applications such as:
· Traffic Inspection
· Welding
· Wafer Alignment
· Biometrics
· Container Inspection
· PCB Inspection
With flexible ROI it can also be used as a quasi-linescan for high-speed applications.

The PL-B741EF Machine Vision camera is a cost-effective solution suitable for wide-ranging OEM applications. The FireWire interface offers ease-of-use without the need for a framegrabber or expensive cabling.
