show preview: Vision 2011 Sights on Stuttgart
Vision 2011, the international trade fair for machine vision, will take place for the 24th time from 8-10 November in Stuttgart, Germany. Here is a preview of some of the companies exhibiting
Active Silicon will be demonstrating its new four-channel FireBird CoaXPress frame grabber,
capable of acquiring data at 25Gb/s from any combination of single, dual or quad CoaXPress cameras. Complementing the four-channel solution are single- and dual-channel versions of the card, which will be released at the show. Also in the new generation FireBird range, Active Silicon will be releasing the FireBird Camera Link Deca frame grabber, available as a single or dual Deca solution allowing simultaneous acquisition from two Camera Link Deca cameras at 85MHz. All of these cards have eight-lane Gen-2 PCI
Express interfaces, providing exceptionally high bus bandwidths. The Phoenix Software Development Kit, available for a range of operating systems including Windows, Linux,
Allied Vision Technologies will be exhibiting its new Prosilica GT camera series, developed specifically for challenging outdoor applications. The cameras can be used in environmental temperatures of -20°C to +60°C. Moreover, they are equipped with a Precise Iris and DC auto-iris lens control that adapts adjustments according to changing light ratios, whether due to weather, time, or season. Also launched at the show will be the
Prosilica GX6600 with 29-Megapixel sensor. The Prosilica GX family’s new top model is equipped with the Kodak KAI-29050 Quad- Tap sensor. This high-resolution sensor delivers outstanding image quality and sensitivity with low noise. Thanks to its double Gigabit Ethernet interface with Link Aggregation Group, the Prosilica GX6600 can handle large quantities of image data while maintaining a transfer rate of four images per second. With the acquisition of German camera manufacturer VDS Vosskühler in Osnabrück, AVT will present a significantly expanded
Mac OS X and various real-time systems, supports the new range of frame grabbers, allowing rapid system integration and easy migration to this high-speed technology. Also on display will be Active Silicon’s HD-SDI and CoaXPress camera interface modules with demonstrations using the Sony FCB-H11 HD camera.

Alysium-Tech will display new additions to its range of industrial machine vision cable assemblies.
Highlights continue to be cable solutions
that overcome common application restrictions. New, industrial USB3.0 assemblies, building on the success of the >5M assemblies shown at last year’s exhibition, will push length limits even further. The Camera Link HS cable portfolio is
also increased with a new High Flex version. Alysium-Tech’s core strength is enabling customers to achieve more from their vision systems. This will be highlighted through various customised interconnect solutions, such as IP- 54+/IP-67/ IP-68 Gigabit Ethernet connections, tiny plug designs or high-performance, reduced OD cabling. Guest reviews of the wide display of applications that showcase these solutions will be welcome.

Automation Technology will release a new model of its successful C4 camera series of high-speed 3D sensors at the show. The C4-4090-GigE has a
camera and technology portfolio. Among the highlights is the Bonito, a high-speed camera model with a 4-Megapixel CMOS sensor and Camera Link interface that delivers up to 386fps at full resolution. High-speed cameras with global shutter sensors are suited for demanding applications for the inspection of still and fast moving objects. Also new to the AVT family are NIR/SWIR
and LWIR infrared cameras, including the four Goldeye (near-infrared) and Pearleye (long-wave infrared) models. For applications requiring especially high image quality, the cooled CCD cameras of the Bigeye family will also be on display.

resolution of 4,096 x 3,072 pixels and delivers more than 30 million 3D points with a profile frequency of up to 7,000Hz. The integrated C4 processors detect the height-profile of the measured surface with a sub-pixel precision of up to 1/64 of a pixel without losing speed. The 3D camera is particularly suitable for 3D applications that require high speed and high precision during the scanning of large objects. For high-resolution applications using several 3D cameras in parallel, the C4-4090 camera can represent savings between two and four conventional 3D cameras, which lowers the cost of installation. The camera offers a global shutter that exposes all pixels simultaneously, enabling the 3D detector to capture sharp and undistorted images. Furthermore, the C4-4090-GigE supports HDR-3D technology, enabling the readout of the sensor with multi-slope and multi- frame-readout. In this way, the camera can reach a dynamic range of up to 90dB and is able to scan materials and surfaces with inhomogeneous reflectivity properties.
The camera has all typical characteristics of the C4 series, such as a Gigabit Ethernet interface and compliance with the GigE-Vision standard
