Atmel Extends Its Family of Digital Imaging Systems; CAMELIA 8M and CAMELIA COLOR 8M Digital Cameras Give 8 Megapixels, 12-Bit Black-and-White or Color Images.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 6, 2000 Atmel Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ) today announced the availability of two new members in its CAMELIA(TM) family of digital imaging systems including both a digital camera head, a digital PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). frame grabber and associated Windows(R) software. These new models, CAMELIA 8M and CAMELIA COLOR 8M, are based on a large format (close to 35mm film size) progressive scan CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. featuring 2300 (H) x 3500 (V) square pixels -- 8 megapixels. The complete CAMELIA system is delivered with user-friendly application and interface software for metrology, file management and RS232 settings, making it an ideal candidate for applications like slide/film scanning, reprography re·prog·ra·phy n. The process of reproducing, reprinting, or copying graphic material especially by mechanical, photographic, or electronic means. [repro(duction) + -graphy. , archiving, microscopy and cell biology semiconductor and PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. inspection, ophthalmology, skin analysis and metrology in machine vision. CAMELIA 8M and CAMELIA COLOR 8M capture and deliver respectively 12 bit and 12 bit/color data to the host PC memory at a rate of 2.5 frames/s. CAMELIA 8M provides 8-megabyte files in black & white mode and 24-megabyte files in 3 shot-color mode for high-resolution display or printing. CAMELIA COLOR 8M also provides 24-megabyte files after correction and interpolation interpolation In mathematics, estimation of a value between two known data points. A simple example is calculating the mean (see mean, median, and mode) of two population counts made 10 years apart to estimate the population in the fifth year. . Binning up to 4x4 pixels enables black & white live video preview modes up to 9 frames/s. CAMELIA 8M and CAMELIA COLOR 8M systems are fully controlled through an RS232 serial port and feature either continuous grab or asynchronous operation (frame on request) triggered by an external event and/or in full synchronization with flash, shutter and filter wheel, if used. A 12 bit-to-12 bit LUT (Look Up Table) at the input of the digital frame grabber provides full flexibility for camera calibration and set-up. In case of 3 shot and single color imaging, the LUT and exposure times can be programmed separately for the red, green and blue color. According to Jean-Philippe Lamarcq, Marketing Manager for Atmel's Professional Imaging products, "With the introduction of the 8 million pixel version, the CAMELIA family now features an extensive range of resolution addressing the most demanding digital imaging applications with an extremely user-friendly and cost-effective solution."
