LC1917 Series Cameras
Low-Profile Analog Line Scan Camera
Description
In the LC1917 analog line scan camera,
PerkinElmer has combined the best
features of photodiode array detection,
high-speed charge-coupled scanning,
and analog line scan camera
technology to offer an uncompromising
solution to the increasing demands of
advanced imaging applications.
The LC1917 is a low profile analog line
scan camera. The LC1917 features a
single channel differential analog video
output format, with a resolution of
1024 pixels, which can achieve data
rates of up to 5 MHz with exceptional
noise immunity. It is designed for
volume applications where a small
profile is required.
One feature of typical line scan
cameras is a square profile face. While
this shape is unavoidable for area scan
cameras, it does not take advantage of
the long, thin active area of linear arrays.
The LC1917’s flat faceplate measures
0.75” high by 2” wide. This size allows
the user to install multiple LC1917s
into an area scarcely big enough for
even the smallest square front profile
line scan camera.
The LC1917 converts light imaged
during a scene into an analog video
signal. The amplitude of the video sig-
nal is a linear function of the incident
illumination taken from the scene.
Antiblooming structures within the
sensor ensure superior performance
over a wide range of lighting condi-
tions. User-defined control is possible
for line rate, integration time and
video data rate.
LC1917 cameras may be interfaced to
most frame grabber cards, allowing for a
tested, plug and play solution. Typical
high performance line scan applications
include position monitoring, edge and
spot tracking, and acquisition of any
image generated by shadows, light
beams, or external optics.
