FireWire camera (IEEE 1394) KAPPA opto electronics
CCD, IEEE 1394a, FireWire

Kappa DX camera systems are complete systems ready for installation. The camera series is based on variable camera electronics, low power consumption, advanced circuitry, and an extremely rugged design with an excellent signal quality at the same time. Bus standard IEEE1394 “FireWire”. DCAM stands for „1394-based Digital Camera Specification“. IIDC compability: FireWire cameras use the DCAM protocol which is a standard defined by the organization „Instrumentation & Industrial Digital Camera“. The cable lengths reach up to 20 m. Firewire-IEEE 1394a is supported by all operating systems. Peer-to-peer communication is possible. The bus system is bidirectional (sending and receiving data at the same time). The integrated power supply for FireWire cameras is 8 to 33 VDC, 1.5 A, max. 48 W. The bit rate is 400 Mbit/s for 1394a and 800 Mbit/s for 1394b. Addressing is automatically (no jumper settings). Kappa FireWire cameras (400 megabit/ 2 ports) are experts in the area of image acquisition. Progressive scan CCD, true color quality, megapixel resolution, excellent image quality, 12 bit digitization depth and user-friendly software environment characterize the FireWire cameras from Kappa. The customer can choose between 2/3, 1/1.8 and 1/2” CCD sensors, color or monochrome. The brilliant high fidelity color reproduction is achieved by the camera-internal Kappa color processing in real-time. With the standard FireWire interface, C-mount and the camera control software KCC you get a fully-equipped complete system for ready-to-use operation with computer and microscope. Also available as no-frills camera for integration or as board camera.
