    256 MB DDR-RAM, 32 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage and can be equipped with multiple head options. Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows multitasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without stopping the inspection process.
  • Page 6: Basic Structure

    VCSBC64XX_HW.pdf – Hardware Documentation VCSBC64XX Smart Cameras 2 Basic Structure The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One channel of video input is digitized. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 64 DMA channels (EDMA). Unlike most other Vision Component Smart Cameras, the VCSBC64XX does not have a direct video output.

    The VCSBC64XX can be used with 12mm threaded micro lenses or C-mount lens holder. Due to the different options these lens holders have to be ordered separately to the camera, as well as the mounting service. If ordered together, VC ships the camera fully assembled. The C-mount flange distance can then be accurately adjusted.
