Atmel Introduces New Color Line Scan Cameras.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers GRENOBLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 2002 AVIIVA C2, a high-speed, high-performance color single CCD camera See digital camera. , and AKYLA, a tri-CCD color camera, target a variety of demanding industrial and color scanning applications Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq:ATML ATML Automatic Test Markup Language ATML Automated Test Markup Language ) announced today the availability of AT71C2LV and AT71C2CL, which make up AVIIVA(TM) C2, a new member of the AVIIVA family of high-speed, high-performance Line scan CCD Cameras. Additionally, the introduction of Atmel's AT71MD represents a brand new family of tri-CCD color cameras called AKYLA(TM). Drawing on its advanced expertise in 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. design, technology and camera production, Atmel offers outstanding signal to noise ratios, and increased responsiveness compared with traditional CCD cameras. The AVIIVA product family has been built on a new user friendly concept comprising three key design factors: versatility, accuracy and ease of implementation for applications such as web inspection to document scanning and from surface inspection to metrology. The AVIIVA C2 incorporates a 4 K pixel sensor with a 10 micron meter pixel size and a RGB color Typically refers to 24-bit color. See color palette, 24-bit color, 16-bit color and 8-bit color. pattern in a 56 mm wide casing, camera mounting holes, a versatile camera attachment and the ability to fix a heatsink on any side of the camera. The camera can operate up to 60 Mpixels/sec in 12 bits and offer a very competitive color scanning solution. Additional flexibility is offered to the end-user via programmable settings alongside features such as data rate selection, trigger mode, antiblooming and exposure control functions with no lag effects. The AKYLA family features 1 K and 2 K pixel sensors with a 10 micron meter pixel size targeting the most demanding color scanning applications with high color fidelity. The camera can operate up to 3x30 Mpixels/sec in 10 bits. Both cameras are designed to offer excellent signal to noise performance. The AVIIVA C2 and the AKYLA Line Scan families supports Camera Link(TM), the Automated Imaging Association's new serial interface for the machine vision industry. With Camera Link, the system designer can access all data, synchronization and total camera control with a unique and standard cable. The AVIIVA and AKYLA Line Scan family also includes a parallel LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. (Low Voltage Differential (hardware) Low Voltage Differential - (LVD) A method of driving SCSI cables that will be formalised in the SCSI-3 specifications. LVD uses less power than the current differential drive (HVD), is less expensive and will allow the higher speeds of Ultra-2 SCSI. LVD requires 3. Signaling) version, which allows the use of longer cable. These cameras are in full production.
