JAI's new 16-megapixel AM-1600CL and AB-1600CL camera

JAI's new 16-megapixel AM-1600CL and AB-1600CL cameras are the highest resolution members of the JAI product line. These new JAI models incorporate the Kodak KAI-16000 dual-tap progressive scan CCD to deliver full 4872 x 3248 pixel resolution at 3 frames per second.

The AM-1600CL provides monochrome output and the AB-1600CL provides raw Bayer color output suitable for host-based interpolation. Both models have Camera Link interfaces offering user-selectable 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit output.

JAI 16MP camera series

As members of JAI's C3 Advanced series, the new 16-megapixel cameras offer a rare combination of high image quality and industrial grade reliability.

Key features include:

4872 x 3248 resolution (KAI-16000 sensor)
7.4 µm square pixels
3 fps with full resolution
User-definable partial scanning for higher frame rates
2X binning (H, V, or H+V) for increased sensitivity and speed\
User-programmable look-up table (LUT)
Built-in pixel blemish compensation
Built-in flat-field correction
70 G shock testing and 10 G vibration testing (20 Hz to 200 Hz XYZ)
Integral heat sink plus ridged housing for low noise operation without cooling
Precise sensor alignment
Choice of lens mounts – P-mount (M42), F-mount, or custom

Standard operating features of the AM-1600CL and AB-1600CL models include pre-select and pulse-width trigger modes, and an electronic shutter offering 10 preset speeds or user-programmable settings from 1/3 to 1/3378 seconds in increments of 98.66 µs (one line).

Core applications for the AM-1600CL and AB-1600CL are any applications where high image quality and a wide field of view are required, including flat panel LCD inspection, solar panel inspection, PCB inspection, 3D metrology, biometrics, and microscopy. The AM/AB-1600CL cameras are also suitable for numerous high-end outdoor uses including surveillance, aerial imaging, and homeland security applications.

The Camera Link models are available now. Models with GigE Vision interfaces are in the final stages of development and will be available very soon.
