Overview
MATRIX VISION presents its all new ne-X-t generation Gigabit Ethernet camera family.
The cameras are fully compliant to the latest revision of GigE Vision® and GenICam™ standard and make use of the latest building blocks such as large FPGA, high resolution analog front ends and supporting components. We have packed an X-traordinary amount of features in one of the smallest yet rock solid housing in our industry.
The family will contain a full range of CCD and CMOS sensors, from VGA up to 5 megapixel resolution. Image quality is digitized with precision-analog front ends with up to 14 bit resolution (CCD sensors).
The cameras are optimized for both machine vision tasks, relying on high frame rates combined with low latency image transport and on the other hand the images can be precisely optimized for viewing applications in life science and medical applications, where the utmost realistic image quality in terms of shades in gray scale and color fidelity, combined with best sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio are required.
