JAI : BM-500CL
Description
The JAI BM-500 CL is a new addition to the Basic tier of the C3 family. It is a monochrome progressive scan camera with 5 million pixels resolution and Camera Link (CL) interface.
The BM 500 CL camera utilizes the Sony ICX625 CCD and operates at 15 frames/second in continuous mode even with a 5 megapixel resolution, thanks to a well-crafted analog front end design. Partial scan and binning modes are also provided.
The BM500 CL camera offers superb thermal management and pre-processing functions such as: white balance, LUT for compensating lighting condition and a blemish compensation function.
