This article demonstrates how to set up and use the Region of Interest function of our machine vision cameras, how to resize an image, and how to obtain the desired area. This is generally used for:
- decreasing the amount of data that is collected and received
- cutting down on the demanded bandwidth needed
- increasing the framerate of our machine vision cameras
- narrowing the view for an exact area
If you're looking to save images and videos efficiently with an industrial camera, our free Galaxy SDK offers a user-friendly solution. We provide a basic plugin that allows you to save captured images directly to your hard drive or as a video. In this article, we will guide you through the different settings and offer recommendations for capturing and saving images and videos using our industrial camera.
Continue ReadingI/O control is crucial for effectively triggering machine vision cameras and lights. Industrial machine vision cameras are known for their reliability and robustness, so it's essential to have a dependable external triggering system.
When fast operation is required, the trigger sensor needs to respond quickly. Continue ReadingControlling the bandwidth usage of your industrial USB3 camera is essential to ensure stable and reliable data transmission. By limiting the framerate, you can effectively manage the amount of data transmitted over the USB3 interface. In this article, we will explore multiple options for bandwidth control and provide a step-by-step guide to calculating the required framerate for your industrial USB3 camera.
In this article, we will discuss four effective methods for powering a GigE camera: Utilizing a PoE Switch, employing a PoE Injector, utilizing a GigE Power adapter, or connecting to an external power source. When it comes to the power specifications of the MER2 series, the GigE camera can be powered through PoE, following the IEEE802.3af standard. Alternatively, it can be supplied with a voltage range of 12VDC-10% to 24VDC+10% via the GigE camera’s 8-pin Hirose connector.
Continue ReadingLearn how to create contrast, block external lighting, and improve object detection and measurement with (color) C-mount lens filters and a monochrome camera. Discover why monochrome cameras are preferred and how to apply lens filters without sacrificing image quality. The use of (color) C-mount lens filters is to be able to create contrast between colored parts of an object with a monochrome camera to easily detect and measure the specific part of the object. Additionally (color)C-mount lens filters are used to block external-environmental lighting. Why monochrome camera and not color?
Continue ReadingTo achieve perfect synchronization between all industrial machine vision cameras, you will need the I/O port of the camera. The master camera will hardware trigger its slave cameras, ensuring flawless synchronization between them all. Follow our example to connect one master camera to three slave cameras, creating a perfectly synchronized setup of four machine vision cameras. Technical schematic of a synchronized machine vision camera setup:
Continue ReadingLearn how to connect 4 industrial GigE cameras to a single network port with ease. To do so, you will need the following materials:
Before we begin, ensure that your connection speed is 1000mbit / 1Gbit and not 100mbit, as some PoE switches only offer the latter. This is a common mistake that many customers make, so it is crucial to double-check your connection speed before proceeding.
