1394b camera, 0.5 Megapixels - comprehensive image pre-processing - high quality, mid-price

The Stingray F-046B/C is a 1394b camera with a sensitive SONY HAD CCD sensor (ICX415), and runs at 61 fps at full resolution. Thanks to its comprehensive image pre-processing functions, it delivers an outstanding high image quality. The mid-price camera reaches higher frame rates by a smaller AOI, binning (b/w) or sub-sampling.

  • Sony ICX415
  • Two configurable inputs, four configurable outputs
  • RS-232 port (serial port, IIDC V1.31)
  • External trigger shutter: Programmable, trigger level control, single trigger,
  • bulk trigger, programmable trigger delay
  • Modular concept options: various IR cut/pass filters, K/F/CS-Mount, angled head, Hirose power: out; 1394b connectors: 2 x copper or 1 x GOF, 1 x Copper
  • Board level version available on request

Stingray cameras include numerous real-time image pre-processing functions. All below mentioned functions are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU load and thus an inexpensive host computer.

  • AOI (true partial scan), separate AOI for auto features
  • Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
  • Debayering
  • Auto gain, auto exposure
  • Color correction
  • Shading correction
  • High SNR mode (up to 24 dB better signal-to-noise ratio)
  • Local color anti-aliasing
  • Sub-sampling, 2x – 8x binning (b/w)
  • Low noise binning mode
  • Defect pixel correction
  • Sequence mode (changes the camera settings on the fly)
  • Image mirror
  • Deferred image transport
  • SIS (secure image signature, enhanced time stamp)
  • Storable user settings

The Technical Manual of the Stingray contains detailed descriptions of all functions.

The Stingray F-046B/C includes comprehensive image pre-processing functions. It is only mid-priced, but performs with high image quality. This 0.5 Megapixel 1394b camera is suitable for applications with high demands: 

  • Industrial inspection and automation
  • Logistics
  • Science and research
  • Healthcare and medical (light gray housing available)
  • Multimedia, entertainment and sports

Additionally, it is ideally suited for:

  • Demanding OEM camera applications (board level versions with separate sensor board available on request)
  • Daisy chaining (two copper connectors)
  • Long cables - 400 meters and more without additional repeaters (GOF version available)
