2. Introduction
ARTCAM-XQE-WOM series are NIR cameras which adopt a 1280 x 1024/ 1280 x 720 sensor. The cameras have a
highsensitivespectralresponsefrom 400nmto1100nm.
ARTCAM-XQE-WOMadoptUSB2.0interface, so image data canbedelivered toPCdirectly withouta captureboard.
Also,thiscamerais equippedwithan on board memorywhich avoid data missing during transfer.
3. Main Features
・NIRDetectionwithHighSensitivity
The CMOS sensor can detect radiation invisible to human eyes and CCD/CMOS cameras in the wavelength range
between400nmto1100nmband.
・USB2.0Interface
OurcamerasadoptUSB2.0interface,sothedatacanbedeliveredtoPCdirectlyandnocaptureboardisneeded.
・SoftwareDevelopmentKit
For customer who prefers to create their own image processing software or use our camera with other applications,
SDK comeswithourproduct.
