CV-A11

1. General

The CV-A11 is a monochrome progressive scan 1/3” CCD cameras, designed for automated inspection application, featuring an extremely small housing and a wide range of unique functions.

The asynchronous trigger can be set to work in several modes, to allow functions such as pulse width controlled shutter, programmable shutter speed and long time integration.

All mode settings of the camera can be set up via an RS-232C interface, greatly reducing the need for mechanical switches of jumpers.

The CV-A11 outputs an analogue video signal, with composite sync.
