Overview; Features - Hamamatsu Photonics C9300-201 Instruction Manual

4. OVERVIEW

The C9300-201 is a small size and high performance digital CCD camera with 12 bit output.
The camera meets the demand in the industrial/scientific field for high accuracy and high
quality imaging. And it is based on CameraLink and can output the image data into the
CameraLink board on market.

5. FEATURES

(1) High speed
Equipped with a high-speed solid-state imaging device having 640 (horizontal) × 480
(vertical) pixels. Pixels are square, facilitating image processing for measurement
purposes.
(2) Dual readout
The CCD has dual readout amplifiers for the half left side area of the CCD and right
side. (When using single readout mode, only left side amplifier is used.) So you can
obtain the image data with quite high frame rate.
Note
(3) Digital output
Image signals are converted from analog to digital in the camera and output externally
as 12 bit digital data. (Transmission line length: max. 10 m, based on CameraLink.)
(4) Small Head
Small, lightweight camera allows for a construction that is extremely easy to use in
such applications as microscopic measurement and spectrometry.
(5) Lens mount
C-mount used for the lens mount.
•
Dual readout mode uses two-separated readout Amp whose performance is not
perfectly same. Due to the readout Amp characteristics variation, you may see
little intensity gap between right side and left side in one image even though the
fine adjustment is done at factory before shipping. Single readout mode is
recommended to achieve the best possible image quality.
