OptoMotive - Brand new Camera Family Release

Oct. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- OptoMotive, mechatronics Ltd., Slovenian company specialized in FPGA based cameras for Machine vision, has launched its new camera family Velociraptor, developed to fill-in the Market gap between standard industrial cameras and traditional high-speed cameras with on-board memory.

Velociraptor is the ultimate camera based on the largest Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA, with dual DDR3 memory, high-speed imaging sensor and Gigabit Ethernet. For GigE Vision communication ultimate-performance system-on-chip (SoC) technology was implemented.

The flexibility of FPGAs also offers integration of other systems in the same chip, eliminating the need for costly and power hungry PCs. The Camera has small and ruggedized waterproof aluminum housing design (92x52x40 mm) with innovative ball-joint mounting system.

Imaging sensors were carefully selected and were picked the best ones market has to offer: turbocharged CMOSIS imaging sensors CMV2000 (2048x1088 pixels, 2/3'' size) or CMV4000 (2048x2048 pixels, 1'' size). The Sensors include all features the modern Machine Vision Sensor should have: Global Shutter, several High Dynamic Range modes and Overlapping Trigger Mode. As already mentioned the Sensor is very fast and outputs up to 768 million pixels per second resulting in 340 FPS (CMV2000) and 180 FPS (CMV4000). At reduced frame size the Frame rate can go up to 5000 frames per second.

JPEG compression core operating at maximum frame rate is offered with the Camera. This core was developed especially for Velociraptor, since on the market there was no JPEG core with sufficient performance available. The compression core enables long recording of high-speed video and direct storage on the PC. Other real-time image processing cores are available on demand.

OptoMotive's cameras are suitable for demanding applications where high frame-rates, high processing power and/or extremely short reaction time, together with real-time image processing are essential. Velociraptor more than any other camera available on the market offers excellent image quality, incredible frame rates, real-time JPEG compression core, and versatile additional IP cores. It suits almost every application, from Test & Measurement, Industrial quality control, Traffic control, Video Surveillance to demanding Medical applications.

OptoMotive’s concept of joining large FPGAs, high-performance imaging sensors and image processing within the FPGA, is positioning company’s cameras Velociraptor, way ahead into the future!
