SILICON VIDEO 1310

SILICON VIDEO 1310C is a 10-bit Bayer Pattern color camera system with the advantages of high resolution progressive scan image capture, low noise digital signaling, convenient software control, the availability of extensive processing, measurement, and analysis capabilities, and low cost. XCAP software provides control of all camera operations.

SENSOR BY KODAK – SILICON VIDEO 1310C camera is based on the KAC-1310 CMOS sensor from Eastman Kodak Company. This progressive scan sensor offers continuous and single frame rolling shutter modes, windowing, sub-sampling, anti-blooming, 10 bit dynamic range, and an active programmable array resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels. Visit the Kodak web site for detailed sensor specifications.

PIXEL CLOCK AND FRAME RATE – The SILICON VIDEO 1310C camera has a programmable pixel clock that generates user-selectable frequencies from 1 MHz to 20 MHz. An increase in the pixel clock frequency provides a higher frame rate. For example, capture a 1280 x 1024 image @ 0.72 fps using a 1 MHz pixel clock – or capture the same resolution at 14.55 fps using a 20 MHz pixel clock. With a resolution of 64 x 64, capture 99 fps @ 1 MHz, or 2000 fps @ 20 MHz. Capture PAL resolution, 774 x 580 pixels, without interlacing artifacts, at 41 fps. Capture NTSC / RS-170 resolution, 640 x 480 pixels, at 59 fps – again, using superior digital progressive scan, not analog interlaced, image capture.

ONLY ONE CABLE – One cable connects the SILICON VIDEO 1310C camera head to the PIXCI D2X1 board. The PIXCI D2X1 provides power to the camera, sends and receives camera control signals, generates the programmable pixel clock, and receives video data. No dedicated power supply or power cable required.

CAPTURE & ADJUST DIALOG – The XCAP Imaging Application provides a Capture & Adjust Dialog for selecting pixel clock frequency, integration/exposure time, capture resolution, gain, offset, trigger control, and more. The color camera dialog provides automatic white balance as well as manual adjustment of Red, Green, and Blue gain.

The SILICON VIDEO 1310C camera system includes:

• Silicon Video 1310C color camera head
• Infrared Cut Filter (attenuates IR)
• Interface Cable (various lengths)
• PIXCI D2X1 PCI Image Capture Board
• XCAP-Lite Imaging Program (option: XCAP-Ltd or Std)

Sequence Capture with SV642 Camera and XCAP Imaging Program
The SILICON VIDEO® 642 camera is designed to capture thousands of images at fast frame rates.

XCAP-Lite, included with camera purchase, will capture for a maximum of one second at full resolution, 8 bits per pixel, and maximum frame rate. Images must be saved individually.

The XCAP-LTD program captures and saves sequences to the limit of the available computer memory. Capture for up to one minute with 4 GB of computer memory.

The XCAP-STD imaging program offers Video To Disk, which allows sequences of images to be captured directly to as few as two hard disks configured as RAID 0. Using four 500 GB hard drives, 7200 rpm, images can be captured continuously for 8 hours (640 x 480 resolution, 8 bits per pixel, 204 fps). Longer durations are possible.

The XCAP program is optimized for capturing image sequences. The Capture Rate & Mode window allows selection of sequence length and interval rate. Linear and Circular sequences are offered. A Linear Sequence is a simple capture of a preset number of frames. A Circular Sequence offers continuous capture until an event stop. The Capture Event window offers different conditions that can start, modulate, or stop sequence capture. Events include (among others) Date & Time, RS-232 Signal, or a Mouse Click.

Images can be overlayed with frame number and time stamp.

The Display Rate window provides automatic playback at rates easily selected by the user. A sequence can be displayed once, or can be displayed continuously. Display can progress from beginning to end or in reverse. A subset of frames, extracted from the complete sequence, can be displayed or saved.

XCAP compliments the SV642 camera with sequence capture, display, processing, analyzing, and saving operations. Select which version is best for your application by reviewing the description at the XCAP product page.

FRAME RATE EXAMPLES (8-Bit mode)

Notes: Reduced horizontal resolution (less than 640 pixels / line) increases the number of available frame buffers but does not increase frame rate. Pixel clock frequencies above 66 MHz may reduce image quality.
