The
Hitachi KPM3R is a 1/3 inch CCD monochrome camera
that is useful into the near infrared spectrum.
Peak sensitivity of the camera occurs at 640 nanometers
compared with a conventional camera whose peak
sensitivity occurs at 510 nanometers. Useful sensitivity
of the KP-M3R extends above 900 nanometers, making
it useful for applications ranging from microscopy
to image processing systems. A high horizontal
resolution of 570 TV lines and a S/N of 56 db
provide detailed images with low noise, in a compact
rugged package. Standard features include a multiple
step electronic shutter, internal or external
synchronization, field or frame integration mode,
and a field-on-demand function. Using the field-on-demand
feature the timing and length of an exposure can
be accurately controlled. The field-on-demand
can function in the one trigger, two trigger,
fixed shutter, and external shutter modes of operation,
allowing easy integration into machine vision
systems.
