Key Features
- High Dynamic Range.
With a dynamic range image in excess of 140 dB, the XVC-1000e is able to acquire images with a greater range of tonal detail than any standard camera. This is particularly important for various industrial processes such as welding where there is a very bright light source in the image that needs to be seen in great detail without saturation as well as darker surrounding background features that also need to be present in the image and seen by the user. - Welding Specific Functionality.
The integrated hardware and intuitive software features such as weld arc photodetector, image triggering, general purpose I/O, crosshairs and image processing control make XVC-1000e ideal for production systems.
- Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).
The on-board FPGA controls all camera functionality, including on-camera image processing, Area of Interest (AOI) extraction, user memory channels and more. It can also be updated with new firmware in the field.
- Opto-Isolated GPIO.
Opto-isolated GPIO protects the camera from noise generated by external devices typically found in a welding environment, such as welding power supplies, motors, etc., as well as power issues caused by malfunctioning devices attached to the camera.
- Triggering.
Hardware and software triggering to synchronize image acquisition to an external device such as a welding power supply, light source, or to other cameras. Supported modes include free running, external, and single shot triggering, with an optional trigger delay.
- All Digital Solution.
The image coming from the camera is an 8 or 12 bit digital signal, providing lots of extra information that can be processed to obtain the best possible image for display. Also being a digital only signal, there are no additional image losses going from analog to digital, providing the best quality image possible.
- Software.
The Xiris WeldStudio™ Viewer is a full demo software utility compatible with Microsoft Windows. It includes the Xiris camera driver and controls, graphic tools to provide the user with crosshairs and targets, and image processing functions to provide additional image enhancements for the user. Also included is a full video recording and playback utility.
