1200S OEM CCD Camera
The 1200 Camera Series is a platform for rapid, but low cost, development
of high performance cameras suited for volume production. Details of each
camera are driven by application requirements but the Series is based upon
a set of primary components that can, without compromise, be tailored to
each use.
Mechanically designed to be integrated into an instrument with custom
image input and compact configuration of the integrated camera body.
Features
1200S OEM CCD Camera
Camera Overview
CCD operating temperature from –30 to -90°C
In different configurations to meet each application’s dark current
performance requirements, with air cooling.
Multiple read speeds available
Common speeds include 100, 200, 500, 800kHz. and 1.25mHz per port.
Low read noise
Sub 5e- RMS noise performance correllated double sample with 16-bit
digitization.
High dynamic range
Low noise performance with 16-bit digitization and high full-well provide wide
dynamic range imaging.
Custom or standard sensors available
Large-sized (up to 30-mm sq), front or backside illuminated. Custom designs
are available and affordable!
Fiber-optic or optical window entrance aperture
Square or rectangular as fits the selected sensor.
Shutter available
Shutters can be mounted on the camera, driven through the camera itself and
configured by software.
External trigger input and digital status output
Opto-isolated trigger input.
Binning and region of interest imaging
High performance with binning, and ROI imaging for small area high speed are
available.
Multi-port readout capable
One- or two-port readout included in the basic design.
Ethernet communication
Standard communication with the computer by a gigabit Ethernet connection.
HTTP server
A standard HTTP server interface to allow client programs to control the
camera and acquire images. Any JavaScript-enabled web browser with an
Ethernet connection can control the camera.
User software is included with every camera. SI Image software suite for easy
camera control, data manipulation and archiving. Native file format is FITS.
Various TIF formats supported.
The 1200 camera platform is engineered to meet Spectral Instruments’
demanding performance specifications in a compact, flexible and
competitively priced imaging system. When purchased in quantity, this
camera can be precisely tailored to a specific application in form, fit and
function with low set-up charges and fast delivery.
Custom Cameras
Spectral Instruments’ business is the design and manufacture of custom
cameras for scientific applications. The 1200S allows SI to create a custom
camera at a price point amenable to OEM customers without sacrificing
performance. SI has worked with customers in the past to develop custom
CCD sensors for the 1200S camera for complete customization.
History of Innovation
Spectral Instruments has been in the business of making custom high
performance CCD cameras for nearly 20 years. From cameras for single use
applications to high volume OEM cameras, we have stayed at the forefront of
technology to pursue quality and performance in everything we manufacture.
