CV-M2

1. General

The CV-M2 is a digital 2 megapixel camera designed for automated imaging and ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) applications, featuring high resolution and high speed within a uniform and compact housing.

The high-speed shutter function, asynchronous random trigger mode and partial scan mode allows the camera to capture high quality images of fast moving objects with a high frame rate. Functions like burst trigger, reset continuous trigger mode, analog iris video output, knee and gamma function for single channel makes the camera suitable for intelligent traffic systems. The CV-M2 features the Camera Link standardized multiplexed signal output interface.
