Product Overview 5
1Product Overview
1.1 Product Introduction
3000/5000/7000 series USB3 area scan camera adopts high-performance sensor chip
and realizes real-time non-compressed image data transmission via USB, which is
compatible with any application development tool which meets USB3Vision and
GenICam standard. Max transmission rate 5Gb/s can satisfy the requirements of
transmission rate in most industrial applications. It can work in various harsh
environments stably with high reliability and cost performance.
1.2 Product Features
Easy installation, convenient operation, support：
USB3.0 backwards compatible with USB2.0, and provides 5Gbps in theory with
power supply.
Mechanical Dimension: 29mm×29mm×29mm (mm)
128MB on-board frame buffer for image data transmission.
Supports software trigger, external trigger, mixed mode, free run mode.
Supports sharpness, noise reduction, gamma correction, LUT, black level
correction, brightness, contrast and other ISP functions.
Supports interpolation algorithm, white balance algorithm, color conversion matrix,
hue, saturation etc. for color camera.
Supports several image data formats output, ROI, binning, mirror, etc..
Conforms to USB3Vision protocol and GenICam standard.
Conforms to CE, FCC, UL and RoHS certification.
1.3 Typical Networking
The most typical networking mode of area scan camera is point-to-point connection,
which needs no other network medium between the host computer and industrial camera.
It can be connected through USB3 cable, please refer to Figure 1-1.
