1.1 IPX FAMILY
The IPX series of cameras are built around a robust imaging platform utilizing the
latest digital technology. The camera’s image processing engine is based on a 1
million gate FPGA.
The IPX family consists of the following 14 cameras:

1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The IPX cameras are advanced, high-resolution, progressive scan, fully
programmable and field upgradeable CCD cameras. They are built around
KODAK’s line of interline transfer CCD imagers. The camera’s image processing
engine is based on a 1 million gate FPGA. The IPX cameras feature
programmable image resolution, gain, offset, asynchronous external triggering
with programmable exposure, and capture duration, electronic shutter, long time
integration, strobe output, and gamma correction. A square imager format with
uniform 7.4 µm square pixels provides for a superior image in any orientation.
The interline transfer CCD permits full vertical and horizontal resolution of high-
speed shutter images. The combination of electronic shutter and long time
integration enables the cameras capturing speed to be from 1/200,000 second to
more than 10 seconds. The cameras have an optically isolated I/O interface
(trigger input and strobe output). A built-in Gamma correction optimizes the CCD
‘s dynamic range. The cameras have a standard Camera Link™ interface that
includes 8/10/12 bits data transmission with one or two output taps as well as
camera control and asynchronous RS232 serial communication interface, all on a
single cable. The cameras are fully programmable via the Camera Link serial
interface using a GUI based configuration utility. The adaptability and flexibility
of the camera allows it to be used in a wide and diverse range of applications
including machine vision, metrology high-definition imaging and surveillance,
medical and scientific imaging, intelligent transportation systems, character
recognition, document processing and many more.

1.3 IPX TECHNICA PECIF ATIONS
camera is an electronic device for co g li
signal. The camera contains a light sensitive element CCD (Charge Coupled
Device s formed. The CCD
consist silicon photodiodes,
also known as pixels. The photons falling on the CCD surface create
photoelectrons within the pixels, where the number of photoelectrons is linearly
proportional to the light level. Although the number of electrons collected in each
pixel is linearly proportional to the light level and exposure time, the amount of
electrons varies with the wavelength of the incident light. When the desired
exposure is reached, the charges from each pixel are shifted onto a vertical
register, VCCD, and then one row downwards in a vertical direction towards a
horizontal register, HCCD. After that the electrons contained in the HCCD are
shifted in a horizontal direction, one pixel at a time, onto a floating diffusion
output node where the transformation from charge to voltage takes place. The
resultant voltage signal is buffered by a video amplifier and sent to the
corresponding video output. There are two floating diffusions and two video
amplifiers at each end of the HCCD, and the charges can be transferred towards
any of the outputs (depending on the mode of operation). The time interval
required for all the pixels, from the entire imager, to be clocked out of the HCCD
is called a frame. To generate a color image a set of color filters (Red, Green,
Blue) arranged in a “Bayer” pattern, are placed over the pixels. The starting color
is Green. Figure 1.1 shows the CCD pixel structure. Table 1.1 shows the
