Monochrome, color and NIR Product Specifications Q-4A180/CL Introduction This document describes the functionality and key specifications of the Quartz Q-4A180 camera series. The Q-4A180 is a 4 Megapixel camera equipped with a pipe-lined global shutter CMOS sensor and embedded in a robust housing. The 2048x2048 active pixels provide a 1:1 format with 5.5 μm square pixels. Pipe-lined global shutter technology assures low read noise combined with accurate shutter performance. All Quartz cameras are fitted with Adimec True Accurate Imaging technology. True Accurate Imaging is a combined set of image enhancement technologies enabling the best imaging performance for inspections and metrology applications. Product Features Capture Image Details with Adimec True Accurate Imaging Technology Monochrome, Color, NIR solutions including anti-reflection options Easy Fit to Application with image flip, ROI and LUT functionality Fast Acquisition via Camera Link Full/Deca through ROI and Burst mode Robust Design Q-4A180 Issue 1.x -1- February 2011
