Learn how “Pixel Clock Overdrive” by IDS created the fastest frame rates on the market using ON-SEMI Python Sensors!

IDS Imaging USB3.0 cameras with ON-SEMI Python image sensors just got faster by 30 %+ !

With the new release of the v4.80 of the IDS Cockpit software, several new features have been added including “Pixel Clock Overdrive”.  We have been touting the speeds which can be achieved with the new ON-SEMI Python sensors, but now IDS has bragging rights. 

With pixel clock overdrive, IDS’s CP USB3 cameras are the fastest on the market!



Using the new release (v4.8), a feature has been added allowing the pixel clock to be driven faster. This in turn results in higher frame rates surpassing key competitors on the market.  

1st Vision has compiled data showing the new higher frame rates in the chart to the left. 

 
Links to all IDS CP2 camera specifications with Python Image sensors can be found below: 

UI-3130CP – 800×600 
UI-3140CP – 1280×1024 
UI-3160CP – 1920 x 1200
UI-3180CP – 2592 x 2048





What’s the trick to achieve sustained, high speed frame rates?    
As camera sensors are getting faster, it becomes very important to ensure the right hardware is used.  Here are a few tips: 

  • Good Cables – Not all USB3 cables are created equal.  Poor cable quality can result in lost frame and an unstable system.  Ensure you have purchased USB3 cables that fully supports the USB3 vision standards.  
  • USB3 supported hardware – In high bandwidth applications, it becomes important to ensure your hardware supports the data transfer.  You must have a high performance PC to process the data.  A USB3.0 host controller with a Renesas chipset supporting multiple lines will be required to support the high data transfer.  Various approved USB3 adapters can be found HERE.
  • IDS Cockpit 4.8 or higher software supporting pixel clock overdrive and on-board camera memory for IDS cameras

Watch this quick tutorial to learn how to setup the IDS Cockpit software.  This short video will show you the right settings to achieve the the fastest frame rates.      


Did you know the new ON-SEMI sensors provide benefits of vertical and horizontal partial scanning!
Previous CMOS sensors only allowed an increase in frame rates by setting up a partial scan reducing the image height (y-axis).  Setting a Region Of Interest (ROI) or window in x and y-axis’s previously did NOT provide further gains until now!  The ON-SEMI Python sensors now allow speed increases from windowing in the x-axis in addition to the y-axis!

Ultra High resolution cameras up to 100MP! – Solutions for high end aerial surveillance to industrial

Need high resolution cameras for UAV, aerial surveillance, GIS mapping or high end industrial applications to name a few?

1st Vision is pleased to announce our partnership with Phase One Industrial!  

With resolutions from 50 to 100 MP, Phase One’s IXU cameras are the worlds smallest and lightest integrated digital medium format cameras on the market.  


With choice of ultra-high Megapixels sensors and lens options, a solution is available for standalone use, building an array for oblique / nadir photography or medium format photography (larger than 35mm formats).  Phase One has solutions for everything from small UAV’s to large manned aircraft and many higher end industrial applications.  

Applications include: 

  • Aerial surveillance
  • Mapping
  • Forestry, vegetation identification, agricultural crop monitoring
  • Asset management
  • 3D modeling
  • Crowd monitoring
  • Oil and gas pipeline & Power line monitoring
  • Coastal surveillance

Camera features include:

  • Resolutions to 100 MP
  • Auto Exposure modes
  • Small form factor – Allows for easy integration into gyro stabilization mounts or belly holes in many aircraft.
  • Forward motion compensation – Compensates for image blurring occurring as a result of slower shutter speeds or faster flight speeds.
  • Compatible with leading flight management systems and GPS receivers
  • Near IR capabilities
  • RS 232 for full lens control
  • Free Capture and Edit software


Accuracy

Each Phase One camera design undergoes rigorous testing for vibrations and temperature ranges. Every camera is subjected to tests for functionality and performance as it goes through the assembly process. Despite the in-flight vibrations and sudden movements during takeoff or landing that the camera might be exposed to, the consistency and the rigidity of the camera and lens provide metric data with pinpoint accuracy for mapping and other industrial applications.

High Speed cameras meet low cost with ON-SEMI Python sensors – Starting @ $425 for 800 fps!

The evolution of the next generation of CMOS sensors continues to transform the camera market with high frame rates coupled with prices starting at $425!  ON Semiconductor image sensors are now main stream in several camera lines with interfaces in USB3 and GigE along with offering color, monochrome and NIR variations. 

ON Semiconductor sensors provide exceptional image performance and speed due to multiple LVDS lanes in the sensors running at 720Mbps.  With VGA resolutions achieving frame rates up to 862 frames / second (fps).  




Have a need for Speed?  Partial scan with USB3.0 or GigE with TurboDrive can dramatically increase frame rates!

Partial scan modes can be programmed to crop a specific number of lines within an image.  A vertical offset can be programmed to set the location of the partial scan.  This results in faster frame rates as there are less lines being transferred.  

The combination of high speed sensor and faster interfaces, coupled with partial scan results in incredible frame rates!

1st Vision has conducted tests showing various resolutions and frame rates that can be achieved using the ON Semiconductor Python 1300 (1280 x 1040 image sensor).  We conducted these tests using a USB3.0 camera and a GigE camera using Dalsa’s TurboDrive.     


Test Results



The chart to the left shows various frame rates achieved using partial scan’s.  







Note: USB3.0 is typically faster than GigE, however using Dalsa’s TurboDrive, data transfer can be increased exceeding USB3.0!

The ON Semi Python 1300 is one resolution of several found in various cameras;  VGA being one of the fastest with 862 fps in full frame.  Using partial scan modes set to 8 lines, we can reach in excess of 10K fps using the VGA sensor in Dalsa’s new Nano M640.

Do you need to know the frame rates for your specific application?  Contact us and we’d be happy to run some tests for you!   1st Vision can discuss the application and help select the best camera using either USB3 or GigE interfaces.
