  • Page 9: Overview

    Overview KP-F520WCL are CameraLink output type black and white camera which utilized the 2/3 –inch progressive scan CCD image sensor with square pixel. It provides images at 18 frames per second with non-interlaced output. Since square pixel CCD is adopted, the image that is appropriate for the picture processing is obtained.
