Description
Teledyne DALSA introduces a breakthrough multiline CMOS line scan camera format with
unprecedented speed, responsivity, and exceptionally low noise.
The Linea ML™ multiline monochrome / HDR cameras have 8k or 16k pixel resolution, a 5 µm x 5
µm pixel size, and are compatible with fast, high magnification lenses.
The camera uses the Camera Link HS™ interface—the industry standard for very high speed
camera interfaces with long transmission distances and cable flexing requirements (LC or CX4,
resolution dependent).
Teledyne DALSA’s Linea ML cameras and compatible frame grabbers combine to offer a complete
solution for the next generation of automatic optical inspection (AOI) systems.
This camera is recommended for detecting small defects at high speeds and over a large field of
view in LCD and OLED flat panel displays, printed circuit boards, film, printed material, and large
format web materials.

Forward and reverse imaging does not cause the optical center to change. Exposure control allows
inspection speed to change without changing responsivity.
Camera Processing Chain
The diagram below details the sequence of arithmetic operations performed on the cameras sensor
data, which the user can adjust to obtain an optimum image for their application. These
adjustments are performed using camera features outlined in the ‘Review of Camera Performance
and Features’ section.
