GE1660

Lambda Photometrics are pleased to introduce the Prosilica GE1660 high performance 2-megapixel resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, industrial CCD camera with Gigabit Ethernet interface.

2/3” optical format

The new 2-megapixel GE1660 industrial CCD camera runs at 34 frames per second at full resolution, and even faster using Area of Interest Readout (AOI). The GE1660 features the new Kodak KAI-02050, 2/3” optical format, progressive scan, interline transfer CCD that offers a higher image quality, high sensitivity, low noise and improved smear performance, and compatibility with a wide range of lenses.

The economically priced GE1660 has a C-mount lens mount with adjustable back focus and is available in color or monochrome models. This camera is ideally suited for applications such as industrial inspection, machine vision, LCD panel inspection, medical imaging, ophthalmology, aeronautical and aerospace, public security, surveillance, traffic imaging, and OEM applications.

Rich set of camera features

Like all Prosilica cameras, the GE1660 incorporates an advanced set of rich camera features including snapshot/global shutter, pixel binning, area of interest readout, external trigger and sync I/O, RS-232 peripheral port, exposure, gain and offset controls, non-volatile configuration memory, event recorder capability, pre-trigger recording, programmable strobe functions, multicasting, configurable IP addresses, autoexposure and auto-whitebalance controls.

Ease of integration and third-party compatibility

Thanks to its GigE VisionTM compliant gigabit Ethernet interface, the GE1660 is virtually plug-and-play and does not require a frame-grabber to operate. The interface also allows cable lengths of up to 100m (300ft) long using conventional Cat5e network cable and even longer lengths using fiber optics.

The Prosilica GigE sample viewer and the customer-acclaimed SDK are both available free of charge. The SDK supports Windows (2000, XP and Vista), Linux and QNX operating systems on both Intel and Power PC platforms. For users that prefer third party imaging libraries and applications, Prosilica’s GigE Vision cameras are plug-and-play compatible with software from Matrox, National Instruments, Stemmer Imaging, Norpix, MVTec, and others.
