PLI-CLD-CL Dual Band Camera
The camera consists of two sensors, one for visible spectrum imaging and one for IR spectral imaging. The sensors maintain an optical alignment to provide simultaneous sensing across the visible and IR spectrums. Each sensor provides two analog output streams, which are processed using correlated double sampling (CDS), dark level correction and analog gain. Finally, the streams are converted to 12-bit digital data and buffered unto dual-port RAM for synchronization and further digital processing. Two independent CameraLink interfaces are provided for transferring processed video streams to the user. Each CameraLink interface operates in the “base configuration” as defined by the CameraLink standard and support several programmable data rates as well as two channel (taps) or single multiplexed channel transfer. Data can be delivered as 12, 10, or 8 bit data. The camera supports external triggering for multi-camera synchronization and external exposure time control.
The camera can be configured using simple serial commands allowing the setting of:
- Integration
- Signal gain
- Trigger mode
- Data rate and depth
- PRNU correction
- Contrast expansion
