AVT Cameras - Guppy

Image Pre-Processing:
Make up the image quality in the camera by several features without using
any PC calculation power.
White Balance:
Keeps up a color balance
LUT (Look-Up Table)
Fully programmable contrast behaviour
(Inverted Image, negative offset, Gamma, etc.)
Trigger, Connectivity and Control:
Complicated application?
The Guppy's list of trigger features provides a flexible solution.
Trigger Delay:
If the acquisition needs to happen with delay to the trigger event.
Asynchronous & Synchronous Triggering:
The GUPPY allows the immediate start of exposure initialized by an external trigger without any significant latency. This greatly enhances the
inter-camera synchronization of mulitple cameras.
Multi Shot:
Use 1 trigger to start the acquisition of an image sequence.
HW / SW Triggering:
The GUPPY supports asynchronous hardware as well as software triggering (via command).
GPIOs:
The GUPPY provides 1 GP Input and 3 programmable output ports. The status of the Input Port can be polled via SW command. Per Default, the Input is prepared as Trigger Input. The Output Ports can be used as Strobe Trigger or Camera Busy Detection signal.
RS-232 Interface:
The GUPPY es equipped with an RS-232 Port to ease the control of external devices in the system.
Status LEDs:
The LEDs of the GUPPY help to troubleshoot tricky situations. Power as well as the operation status (Blink code) of the GUPPY are indicated by the LEDs.
Dimensions and Housing:
- shaped for industrial environment
- mechanical robustness (shock, vibration)
- C-Mount and CS-Mount (convertible via adapter)
- electrical robustness (CE, FCC Class B)
- ultra compact dimensions
Software

AVT Direct Fire Package:
- WDM, Direct X and TWAIN based Software Package.
- Provides compatibility to a huge Software World.
AVT Fire4Linux:
- Special Linux (SUSE / Red Hat) based Software for AVT Cameras.
- Easy Entry into the Linux world, easy Plug-and-Play with 1394a/b.
» Gamma LUT
Freely programmable Contrast Behavior. One lookup table is programmable in the internal memory of the GUPPY and can be switched into the signal path as needed. LUTs can be created with a PC - for example with a standard program like Excel - and then easily loaded into the camera. The advantages of the GUPPY´s integrated lookup table become especially apparent during complex image processing tasks such as the creation of non-linear characteristic functions for the accentuation of different image levels (gamma LUT) or for the thresholding operations.
