The Catalog - Kappa Handbook 2009:
The Kappa Handbook presents our corporate portfolio, from mega pixel resolution to requirements management, from standard products to customer series. We give you an overview of our CCD and CMOS cameras as well as over the Kappa PC and camera software.
At Kappa, we always decide on camera interfaces with regard to the specifi c application. The interface selection is not only a technological choice, but it also affects the future safety and longterm reliability of the solution as well as the required efforts for integration into the infrastructure. With more than 30 years of Kappa camera development, we know all about every signifi cant interface. Today, the most signifi cant interfaces are Composite Video, Y/C, RGB, Y-U-V component signal, SDI, HD-SDI, FireWire, Camera Link, USB and Gigabit Ethernet.
• Analog Video 50/60Hz (PAL/NTSC)
• Depending on the application, customized interfaces dose rate control for X-ray systems, for example
• Camera Link > 5000 Mbit/s CAN, serial bus camera control
• Extern Syncsynchronization to an external signal of the same specification
• FoD, Frame-On-Demand exposure time control by external signal
• GigE, Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s • GPIO, General Purpose Input-Output Input-output (e.g., optics)
• HD-SDI, High Definition Serial
• Digital Interface 1.485 Gbit/s
• Heating Control heating of sensor windows
• IEEE 1394, FireWire IIDC compatibility
• Iris Control iris control within a lens
• FOC Fiber-Optic Cable optical transmission of signals, e.g., Camera Link
• RS232, Serial Communication Interface camera control
• RS422/485, Serial Communication Interface camera control
• SDI, Serial Digital Interface • PAL/NTSC: 270 Mbit/s
• USB 2, Universal Serial Bus 2.0 480 Mbit/s
