Monochrome CCD digital camera
3272 x 2469 pixels | Oscar F-810C Allied Vision Technologies

The Oscar F-810C is an excellent camera for sophisticated still imaging. It includes a frame readout Sony CCD sensor.

* ICX456
* B/W signal out of luma interpolation (Y = 0.3R + 0.6G + 0.1B)
* B/W signal out of R, G or B channel information

Benefits of the b/w output interpolation modes:

* In some applications, such as ophthalmology with contrast input, only one color is needed for evaluation.
* For applications with monochromatic lighting, noise can be reduced by using only the respective color channel instead of the fully interpolated luma signal.
* The Oscar can use the three primary colors (R, G and B) separately and output them in a reduced data monochrome mode.
