The Stingray F-046B/C is a 1394b camera with a sensitive SONY HAD CCD sensor (ICX415),
and runs at 61 fps at full resolution. Thanks to its comprehensive image pre-processing
functions, it delivers an outstanding high image quality.
Stingray cameras include numerous real-time image pre-processing functions. All below
mentioned functions are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU
load and thus an inexpensive host computer.
●
AOI (true partial scan), separate AOI for auto features
●
Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
●
Debayering
●
Auto gain, auto exposure
●
