An unbeatable price point and reliability are key characteristics of The Imaging Source One4all CMOS cameras. USB 2.0 CCD monochrome cameras are shipped with sensitive Sony CCD sensors and are available in a variety of resolutions and speeds which deliver exceptional image quality.
Imaging Source IS-1CU USB Color CCD Camera
- Model DFK 21AU04
- Color USB CCD camera with IR cut filter
- 1/4' CCD, progressive scan
- Resolution 640 x 480
- Max. 60 fps
- Max exposure time 60 min
- C/CS Mount
- Software included
Up to 60 Frames Per Second...
At 60 frames per second (fps), the color CCD camera, manufactured by The Imaging Source, is ideally suited for color astrophotography, where very fast image sequences are captured. Using the included software - IC Capture- you can capture lossless and uncompressed image sequences as AVI files.
Color Sony?? CCD...
The Imaging Source camera uses the color progressive scan CCD ICX098BQ from Sony??. With its 1/4' format, the CCD produces a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. Even at long exposure times, its noise is minimal.
Fast Display of Color Images...
IC Capture.AS performs color interpolation on the raw color data (RAW format) from the CCD chip. This reduces the load on the camera processor. Should, on the other hand, the camera be installed on a host PC in which the CPU is not particularly fast, color interpolation can be performed by the camera itself. In this case, the maximum refresh rate is 30 fps. Alternatively, should color interpolation not be desirable at all, AVI files can be written in RAW format.
Fast Data Transfer via USB 2.0...
The CCD Camera generates a fast stream of uncompressed color images. In order to transfer these to the host PC, a very fast bus is required. Hence, the camera is fitted with a USB connector.(cable sold separately).
Included Device Driver for USB 2.0 CCD Cameras...
The driver IC WDM DCAM TIS embeds all USB 2.0 CCD cameras, manufactured by The Imaging Source, into Windows?? 2000 and Windows?? XP. By deploying this driver, all CCD cameras are compatible to DirectX??. Consequently, all The Imaging Source CCD cameras can be used with all astrophotography software that is compatible to DirectX??.
Included Camera Control Software...
IC Capture.AS is authored by The Imaging Source and has been specifically designed for use with CCD cameras. Using IC Capture.AS, you can do the following: Set all camera parameters... See the live image data stream from the camera... Retrieve singular images from the camera and save them as BMP or JPG files... Capture image sequences and save the single images as enumerated BMP or JPG files... Capture image sequences and save them as lossless, uncompressed AVI files. These files can be post-processed in other astronomy applications, such as RegiStax.
AVI File Generation...
With IC Capture.AS you can save the images outputted from the camera as an AVI file. There are two approaches to achieve this: If you would like to save a compressed AVI file, simply select the appropriate codec in IC Capture.AS (DivX, for example). If you prefer uncompressed AVIs, simply select the shipped codec (uncompressed Y800, uncompressed RGB24, uncompressed RGB32, uncompressed UYVY).
Program Compatibility...
- RegiStax (Windows??): RegiStax can read the uncompressed AVI files that are created by IC Capture.AS
- Astro IIDC (Mac OS): Using Astro IIDC you can control all The Imaging Source FireWire CCD cameras on Mac OS.
The Imaging Source is a Bremen based manufacturer of industrial imaging technology. Renowned for their diverse product range and innovative autofocus cameras, The Imaging Source (TIS) continually improve their camera portfolio with the latest image sensors when they become available.
The camera line up offers USB2, USB3, GigE Vision and Firewire for most product variants. Where the benefits of USB3 bandwidth can be exploited, TIS has a unique range of cameras available for this interface type.
TIS are also manufacturers of frame grabbers and video converters including analogue to digital converters and HD-SDI converters that all use the USB databus for image conversion. The range of frame grabbers from TIS offer video input via BNC, S-Video and RCA, with multiple, parallel channel input for video conversion on-the-fly.
TIS manufacture a unique range of integrated optics cameras for both zoom and autofocus control.
All products are controlled by IC Capture, a comprehensive and very robust imaging capture Windows application software with SDK available at no additional cost.
Scorpion Vision Ltd are very proud to offer The Imaging Source products both at component level and as part of a Scorpion Vision based inspection system.
