The $1495.00 CMOS camera development kit provides a plug and play camera, PCI interface board, cable, and off the shelf software for use in biometrics, science, industry, automobiles, quality control, security, plus many other camera imaging solutions. Contained in a small 3" x 2" x 1.5" package which includes a C-Mount Adapter, the SILICON VIDEO® 2112 AND 2112C CMOS cameras provide a simple and cost effective platform for the Zoran sensors. Based on a 2/3" array format, the 2112 series offers an active programmable array resolution of 1288 x 1032 pixels which allows sub-windowing, sub-sampling, mirror and flip modes, analog RGB balance, all at 16 MHz (10 bit output) or user selectable pixel clock frequencies.

The CMOS Camera Development Kit is easy to use - install the PIXCI® board, attach the interface cable between the board and camera, and run the XCAP imaging software. A programmable pixel clock for the camera is generated on the PIXCI® D2X which also supplies power to the camera.

Only a single cable to the camera is used. Together, the PIXCI® D2X frame grabber and SILICON VIDEO® series cameras offer the user the most cost effective and advanced features in an imaging system.

Advanced Illumination has redefined industry standards by dramatically improving the light output and lifetime of the standard LED. Now, with the new Signatech line of Electronic Controllers managing your LED light head*, high current pulses can be used to gain up to 40X greater light output than before.

These new controllers are equipped with a microprocessor that identifies the Signatech signature placed in Ai's light heads. This signature, different for each type of light, indicates the optimum ratio of current and pulse time without exceeding safe operating parameters. Not only are the LEDs transformed into high output light sources, but the use of a pulse rather than a constant current significantly lengthens the lifetime of the LED. This improvement is especially valuable for systems using the more costly and shorter-lived blue, green and ultra-violet LEDs. In addition, the Signatech line of controllers operate from a simple DOS or Windows interface.

Ai's perennial workhorse ringlight, the RL4236, is now the RL4260. With nearly twice the number of LEDs, the improved design doubles the light intensity while maintaining the same field of view and stand off as its predecessor. The modified housing accommodates a wider variety of lenses (up to 55mm), and is constructed of a lighter material without compromising the durability. The only thing that hasn't changed is the price.
