CV-A33CL

1. General

The CV-A33CL is a digital CMOS camera designed for automated imaging applications, featuring high speed within a uniform and compact housing.

The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode, with window of interest, allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate. The CV-A33CL features the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface.
