Description
HCO4K Series HDMI/GE/WLAN Multi-outputs C-mount CMOS Camera
The HCO4K series camera is the next-generation live-view imaging-system with 4K resolution(Video) at 60 FPS. It comes with Sony Exmor CMOS sensor with high sensitivity, low dark current and no smear achieved through the adoption of R, G and B primary color mosaic filters.
The camera uses a standard C-mount interface for maximum compatibility with various microscopy-systems. It can be used as a stand-alone recorder when used with an HDMI monitor or television, or live-streamed to a PC via Gigabit Ethernet (GE) for image-capture and video-recording.
Hardware 3D denoising, sharpness and tone mapping control functions greatly improve the image and video quality.
The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. With the ability to calibrate scales at multiple magnifications, the software can be used for multi-level inspection. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version of the software which can capture video and still images, and includes limited processing features.
The HDMI 4K series camera is intended to be used for the acquisition of digital images from the stereo microscope, biological microscope or online interactive teaching.
Digitalisation – 3x8bit and integrate IR filter.
