DR0-D1920-S01-480-G2 Overview

What is DR0-D1920-S01-480-G2?

The camera DR0-D1920-S01-480-G2 is based on the SONY IMX174 CMOS image sensor. The IMX174 CMOS image sensor is optimized for low light conditions and is available as standard monochrome version. The Double-Rate cameras are nearly 100% faster than standard GigE cameras and use only one data cable (no link-aggregation). The camera has the GigE interface (GigEVision).

Due to their excellent capabilities of managing high frame rates CMOS cameras are at the fore front of high speed image capturing and image analysis. Until recently CMOS high speed cameras were used as compact camera heads with an internal image buffer or as landed camera heads with a CameraLink full interface and frame grabbers with a large image buffer.

Applications such as motion analysis (e.g. in the area of bionic, sports or biomechanical analysis) and process failure analysis (e.g. burst or fracture of tools, failure of handling systems, breakdown of packaging systems) require frame rates which are increasingly being provided by fast CMOS standard cameras. These are also used in machine vision applications. The preferred camera choice for such applications are standard machine vision cameras with a GigE interface due to their flexibility in long transmission distance. For even faster motion analysis cameras with a double frame rate, being captured with a GigE interface and a combined link aggregation with recording systems are required.

Photonfocus has recognized the need and requirements of these applications. Their double rate (DR) camera technology displays a double bandwidth for data transmission via the standardized GigE Vision interface, common for machine vision applications. The technology is based on the standard software protocol GeniCam. This Photonfocus technology is based on standard bandwidth tools and standard software libraries used for high speed image capturing. Even a multiple camera system set-up can be easily implemented due to the usage of the GigE standard, in contrary to a point-to-point connection as used in Link aggregation solutions. With the GigE standard the data transmission is not getting interrupted.

This technology eliminates the complications of systems using cameras with link aggregation right from the beginning.

Once more Photonfocus demonstrates its industry leader position in the area of cutting edge high speed camera systems. The double rate (DR) camera technology is up to 25% faster than conventional CameraLink base cameras and even 100% faster than mainstream cameras with a standard GigE interface.

An additional advantage of the implemented modulation technology is the capability to save unmodified image formats. The storage space for all image sequences is almost half the size of standard solutions. This is made possible thanks to the real picture format saving which enables fast sequence search runs.

What applications is DR0-D1920-S01-480-G2 product best for?

Industrial Automation

Fully automated production, self-learning machines and robots: Many Industry 4.0 applications rely on machine vision and the depth of detail in image data. High-precision embedded vision systems are used in process and quality control, as well as for measuring object and surface characteristics. Photonfocus develops and produces both sensors for integration into existing systems and ready-to-use solutions with onboard decision-making.


Agriculture
Increasingly, the digitalized agriculture and forestry industry relies on visual systems. For example, the use of drones with hyperspectral cameras enables the detection of parasite infestation, plant diseases, or the assessment of the degree of maturity of the crop. Our sensors do what the human eye cannot see and assist the agriculture industry on the way to more efficient solutions that are future-proof.


Automotive
Numerous applications in the automotive industry rely on fully automatic inspection systems for checking production processes, object properties and quality. High-precision embedded vision systems perform 2D and 3D image acquisition simultaneously, thereby ensuring that industrial robots and production plants are as profitable and productive as possible.


Material Processing
Fully automated sorting processes save the use of humans for monotonous and tedious activities. Photonfocus sensors are highly reliable when it comes to deciding which foods can be resold or which are spoiled, or separating waste into glass, plastic, metal or other materials.


Traffic & Transport
Embedded vision applications count and identify vehicles in road traffic and thus influence traffic. In rail applications, precise measuring technology with machine vision inspects tracks and train components, detecting wear and defects. At the same time, intelligent onboard solutions give train drivers and maintenance staff direct feedback regarding the condition of the route, thereby ensuring safety and keeping downtimes to a minimum.


Sport & Motion Analysis
In a sprint decision in a cycling race, only a few centimetres or even millimetres are often deciding about victory. The pictures at the finish line are also determining in other sports. High-resolution cameras ensure the exact judgement here. Camera recordings can be used not only in competition, but also for performance measurement and training control in various sports.
