What is CoaXPress, especially the “CXP-6” nomenclature? CoaXPress is an established industry standard allowing high speed communications over coaxial cable. The current version supports bit rates up to 6.25 Gbits/sec over a single coaxial cable. When used in parallel, two or more coaxial cables can provide incremental speed gains. The naming convention associated with CoaXPress signify …
The first Genie Nano camera model with a quad-polarizer filter using the Sony Pregius IMX250-MZR 5.1MP monochrome image sensor is now available. The Teledyne Dalsa Nano M2450 camera incorporates the nanowire polarizer filter allowing detection of both the angle and amount of polarized light. What problems can the Nano M2450 polarized camera solve? Polarized filtering …
Pulsing (aka strobing) a machine vision LED light is powerful technique that can beneficial to machine vision systems in various ways. This blog post outlines 5 benefits you will receive from pulsing a LED light head. Gardasoft is an industry leader in strobe controllers capable of driving 3rd party LED light heads or custom …

In any industrial camera application, one key setting is the exposure time of the camera. In cases where this is set arbitrarily, the resulting image maybe blurry due to movement of the scene we are imaging. To maximize our settings, we can calculate the minimum exposure time to eliminate blur and maximize our …
