IDS to launch two new USB 3.0 cameras at VISION 2014

The CP USB 3.0 camera family is the flagship and all-rounder in IDS's range. With its compact (29 × 29mm) yet robust magnesium housing, it is suitable for a broad range of applications in both industrial and non-industrial environments. The totally revised CP Rev. 2 features an integrated image memory and is designed for future generations of high-performance sensors. The first models with the 2.3 MP IMX174 CMOS sensor from Sony and an 18 MP or 4K sensor from Aptina work on the back side illumination principle. The Sony IMX174 sensor in particular represents the future standard in terms of light sensitivity, dynamic range and colour reproduction, and combines its new features with very high frame rates of up to 180 frames per second. The CP Rev. 2 USB 3.0 camera series will be available with the proven IDS Software Suite, which supports all the features of the new sensors.

IDS's XC is the company's first USB 3.0 industrial camera with 13 MP resolution and autofocus and the first USB 3.0 model in the successful X family. It boasts a wide range of features that are normally only available on modern consumer digital cameras, including face detection, 16× digital zoom, backlight compensation and automatic white balance. This makes the camera suited for changing ambient conditions, for example in access monitoring, kiosk systems and logistics applications. The robust housing and screw USB connectors make the XC suited for industrial use, and it will offer - unlike consumer cameras - long-term availability. The new autofocus industrial camera will be supplied with the IDS Software Suite for individual configuration of camera parameters, and in a UVC (Universal Video Class) version.
