1. Introduction
1.1 General Description
The UC-600 is a high frame rate, color digital CCD camera using progressive scanning interline-transfer
technology with R, G, B primary color mosaic filters (Bayer arrangement). A frame grabber collects digital data
and displays color images by software conversion. This color camera is useful for applications where color, high
frame rate and high speed are required. With the asynchronous capture control, high speed moving objects can
always be captured. The square pixels are especially suitable for processing, measuring, and analyzing tasks.
This compact and lightweight camera has user-friendly access for digital and analog outputs, shutter selection,
and many others on the rear panel.
1.2 Features
• 1/3” Progressive scan CCD imager
(R, G, B primary color mosaic filters)
• 659 x 494 active pixels
• 10-bit RS-644 (LVDS) digital output
• Analog output
• Full frame shutter (1/60 ~ 1/62,000 sec.)
• 56 dB min.
• Asynchronous reset at full frame shutter
• 60 Hz frame rate
• 25 MHz pixel clock
• C-mount lens
1.3 Applications
UC-600 applications include machine vision, automated inspection, motion capture and analysis, medical
imaging, biomedical imaging, non-contact measurement, and other scientific and industrial applications where
color image and high frame rate are needed.
