LC1917

In the LC1917 analog line scan camera, PerkinElmer has combined the best features of photodiode array detection, high-speed charge-coupled scanning, and analog line scan camera technology to offer an uncompromising solution to the increasing demands of advanced imaging applications.

The LC1917 is a low profile analog line scan camera. The LC1917 features a single channel differential analog video output format, with a resolution of 1024 pixels, which can achieve data rates of up to 5 MHz with exceptional noise immunity. It is designed for volume applications where a small profile is required.

One feature of typical line scan cameras is a square profile face. While this shape is unavoidable for area scan cameras, it does not take advantage of the long, thin active area of linear arrays.

The LC1917's flat faceplate measures 0.75" high by 2" wide. This size allows the user to install multiple LC1917s into an area scarcely big enough for even the smallest square front profile line scan camera.

The LC1917 converts light imaged during a scene into an analog video signal. The amplitude of the video signal is a linear function of the incident illumination taken from the scene. Antiblooming structures within the sensor ensure superior performance over a wide range of lighting conditions. User-defined control is possible for line rate, integration time and video data rate.

LC1917 cameras may be interfaced to most frame grabber cards, allowing for a tested, plug and play solution. Typical high performance line scan applications include position monitoring, edge and spot tracking, and acquisition of any image generated by shadows, light beams, or external optics.
