SmartBlue Digital Cameras
The New SmartBlue digital linescan cameras incorporate the latest in photodiode array technology based on the industry standard Reticon devices with state of the art electronics and a robust industrial camera housing. The linescan photodiode array is a Pinned Photodiode Charge Couple Device which allows for high sensitivity, fast readout, while maintaining high dynamic range, and low image lag. The New SmartBlue cameras are cost effective high performance digital linescan cameras, and feature a CameraLink digital interface. These cameras feature geometrically precise photodiode CCD image sensor with 14 um square pixels with a resolution of 2048 pixels. This “next generation” array can achieve data rates up to 80 MHz with superior noise immunity, precise linearity, and high CTE. The SmartBlue digital cameras are designed for high line rate applications with low to moderate light conditions and where small size, and low cost are required. The two-point Flat Field pixel correction circuits give the user the flexibility of correcting video data to compensate for non-uniformities in lighting, lens, or CCD sensor variations. Adjustable gain and offset controls allow users to compensate for variations in illumination found in the “real-world” applications.
The robust design in conjunction with PerkinElmer’s ultra modern manufacturing techniques allows the SmartBlue™ camera to deliver consistent, reliable performance while the rugged industrial design metal housing provides the maximum protection in a variety of harsh environments and factory floor conditions.

Alta Features
The Alta Design Team worked hard over a two year period to bring this advanced degree of integration and performance to our valued customers. Alta set new standards for imaging performance, connectivity, cooling, compactness, cost effectiveness, and the elimination of external support electronics.
Like the AP and KX series, Alta is a platform, not a CCD or specific interface type. It is designed for a variety of CCDs, ranging from the smallest to those measuring 36mm on a side with 4096 x 4096 arrays.
The Alta platform comes in 3 optical apertures. The D1 systems contain the small-mid size CCDs and maintain C-mount back focal distance. The D2 systems contain larger CCDs up to 28mm on a side. Our D7 systems accommodate very large CCDs such as the Kodak KAF-16801E, KAF-16803, and KAF-09000 sensors. Our newest addition, the D9s, provide the same aperture for these very large CCDs, but provide deeper cooling.
