MuTech announces interface to the Pulnix TM-6705AN

(Billerica, MA July 1998) – MuTech Corporation is a leading manufacturer of high accuracy, high quality, leading edge video capture products for machine/industrial vision, robot vision, medical imaging, image analysis and more. MuTech is pleased to announce the interface for the M-Vision 1000 and the Pulnix TM-6705AN.

The M-Vision 1000 is a single slot, programmable analog frame grabber for the PCI bus. It captures from standard and non-standard cameras in 8 bits at rates up to 40 million samples per second for high quality imaging applications. An optional 10 bit version is available for ultra high quality video applications. The digitized video is stored in on-board VRAM or transferred in real time to system memory and/or the VGA card for display. The M-Vision 1000 interfaces to standard monochrome and color video cameras and a wide variety of non-standard video cameras.

The Pulnix TM-6705AN a monochrome full-frame shutter camera which offers double the frame speed of conventional "TV format" cameras. Since the standard mode is double speed, the image can be displayed on a standard VGA monitor. This camera also offers external control variable partial scanning capability with capture rates up to 200fps at 100-line scans.

This high resolution square pixel camera has a VGA format interline transfer CCD imager. The signal output is single channel double speed analog progressive scanning (525 lines) at 60 Hz.  Asynchronous reset, asynchronous readout control and full-frame integration are standard features.

Images captured in multiple camera applications are stored in each CCD until the readout signal is sent to each individual camera. Consequently, the TM-6705AN can actually replace the use of strobe lights for multiple exposures and in multiple camera applications, in limited and controlled environments.

OEM quantity discounts available. List price for the M-Vision 1000 is $1,250.00. Contact Pulnix for the list price of the TM-6705AN.
