1 General Information

VCSBC64XX Single Board Camera with two mounted sensor boards

The VCSBC64XX is an extremely fast and innovative intelligent Stereo single board camera series and one of the fastest intelligent cameras all over with a computational power of 7200 MIPS. It has 256 MB DDR-RAM, 32 MB Flash EPROM for program and data storage and can be equipped with multiple head options.

Like with all VC Smart Cameras with Texas Instruments DSP, the operation system VCRT allows multitasking. This means for instance that user interface commands can execute in parallel without stopping the inspection process.

The VCSBC64XX has a video output onto a PC via 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface and also a HighSpeed Trigger input with absolute constant capture delay, which allows absolutely jitter-free image acquisition and high precise synchronizations of the two heads even at very high-speed processes. 12-24 V digital IOs, additional IO ports and an RS232 serial interface are available as well.

Whereas a standard progressive scan camera gets a trigger, starts exposure and then reads out the pixel data, the VCSBC64XX has optimized the image acquisition process so that exposure, image transfer into memory and image processing can be done in parallel. This means if exposure time and image processing time is not longer than the transfer time, the full frame rate can be maintained.

The VCSBC64XX offers thus an extremely inexpensive entrance into the world of smart 3D applications.

2 Basic Structure

The image is formed by a high-resolution progressive scan CCD sensor. One channel of video input is digitized. The image is stored in SDRAM memory using one of the 64 DMA channels (EDMA).

Unlike most other Vision Component Smart Cameras, the VCSBC64XX does not have a direct video output. However if monitoring of the camera image is required, this can be done by downloading via Fast Ethernet port to PC and display on screen.

The TMS320C64+ DSP is one of the fastest 32bit DSPs. It features a RISC-like instruction set, up to 8 instructions can be executed in parallel, a L1 cache memory (32 Kbytes) and a 256 Kbytes L2 cache on chip. Its high speed 64-channel DMA controller gives additional performance. The DSP uses fast external DDR-SDRAM as main memory. A flash EPROM provides non-volatile memory.
