The integration of JPEG compression directly into high-speed LXT cameras offers significant advantages by reducing bandwidth consumption, CPU load, and storage requirements. This simplifies system design while keeping costs down.

These advanced cameras utilize the GigE interface to deliver exceptional image capture capabilities at remarkable speeds. Users can achieve 500 frames per second in full HD or over 1500 frames per second with SVGA resolution without bandwidth limitations. The reduction in required storage capacity further streamlines system integration and lowers costs, making them ideal for capturing extended image sequences.

For example, these cameras excel at inspecting pantographs on railway systems, monitoring continuous materials in paper production, analyzing sports motion sequences, or overseeing various industrial processes. Their availability this quarter marks an exciting development in imaging technology.

Flexible JPEG Compression Enhances Performance

One standout feature is the configurable compression rate for JPEG images, allowing users to adjust quality levels based on specific application needs. Achieving data reduction ratios from 1:10 to 1:20 is possible without sacrificing image integrity when necessary.

A key advantage lies in the FPGA-based image compression within each camera model. This eliminates costly computations related to compression algorithms typically performed by external systems, freeing up processing power elsewhere.

This capability enables seamless integration of multiple cameras into a single system via network switches - an invaluable feature for complex imaging setups requiring simultaneous data capture from various points.

Cutting-Edge Sensors Enable Exceptional Performance

The five new LXT models incorporate Sony Pregius CMOS sensors with advanced sensitivity characteristics, featuring pixel sizes up to 9 µm. These cutting-edge devices support extremely short exposure times down to 1 µs, making them ideal for capturing ultra-fast movements.

Their high-quality imaging performance includes low-noise characteristics that ensure reliable image analysis even under challenging lighting conditions - a critical advantage for applications like indoor sports motion capture with limited illumination.

Industrial-Grade Performance Meets Harsh Demands

The LX series models deliver robust industrial-grade performance suitable for demanding inspection tasks requiring exceptional image clarity at high processing speeds. Their rugged construction withstands mechanical stress while ensuring consistent, reliable operation in challenging environments.

Each camera features four opto-isolated power outputs supporting pulse width modulation with up to 120W output capability (max. 48V/2.5A). This enables direct illumination control without requiring separate external controllers.

Additional advanced features include:

  • Protection ratings of IP65 and IP67 achievable through the optional patented tube system
  • Precision Time Protocol (PTP) compliance according to IEEE 1588 standards for precise network synchronization
  • Flexible liquid lens objectives that simplify focus adjustments across varying working distances
  • An integrated High Dynamic Range (HDR) function enhancing image stability in difficult lighting conditions

These cameras are engineered specifically for challenging applications such as outdoor imaging or high-throughput industrial processes where conventional cameras might struggle.
