1.General Description
Description
HR series digital cameras are designed for high-quality image capture with fast shutter-speed,
action-stopping capabilities. These cameras produce photographic quality color images from
which high quality hardcopy prints can be created or upon which detailed image analysis may be
performed. These cameras offer in-camera image processing with JPEG compression. The HR
series cameras connect to a standard, high-speed Gigabit (1000Base-T) Ethernet network and use
the network interface for all configuration, setup and image-transfer operations. Application
software on the host Workstation provides camera system control.
International certification assures worldwide acceptance of the camera. The camera’s universal
internal power supply allows operation over all international supply voltages and frequencies.
The HR series cameras accept asynchronous trigger signals and can perform burst image captures
synchronized to these trigger signals. The user controls the number and the timing of the image
captures that the HR series cameras perform in response to an external trigger signal. The time
intervals between the trigger inputs and the moments of image capture are adjustable through the
HR series camera’s Ethernet Interface. The image capture timing for multiple HR series cameras
may be synchronized so as to simultaneously capture scenes from multiple angles, or to capture
scenes at higher effective frame rates.
The HR series cameras can generate strobe synchronization signals for controlling strobe lamps or
other equipment. The camera has six (6) X-sync strobe trigger outputs that may be flexibly
configured to control the firing sequence of up to six strobe lamps. The strobe lamp timing and
sequencing is adjustable by the user. The image capture timing of multiple HR series cameras can
be synchronized to enable multiple cameras to employ the same strobe illumination.
The HR-200C camera model can capture images as rapidly as 14 frames/second, up to the 15
image capacity of the camera’s internal memory. Subsequent images can be captured when
memory is freed through the transfer of images to the host Workstation. The average image capture
rate is determined by the image transfer rate to the host Workstation.
The HR series cameras accept standard EF-mount lenses and include an electrical interface for lens
focus and aperture control. Aperture control allows exposure adjustments beyond those achievable
using only the “electronic iris” integration-time control available in most industrial CCD cameras.
Aperture control allows the shutter-speed to remain constant over a wider range of ambient light
levels.
The primary differences between the HR series camera models are shown in the chart below. The
