PixelFly Digital Camera

Media Cybernetics Provider of the Year Award

PixelFly - High Performance Digital CCD Camera Sytem, Super-Compact with a 1360 x 1024 Pixel Resolution.

PixelFly is a High Performance Digital CCD Camera System, featuring the latest in CCD and electronics technology. The system features an ultra-compact camera head which connects to either a standard or compact PCI board via a high speed data link. The PCI boards include a front-end processor that can handle task controls and provide opto-isolated triggers. The front-end processor also includes high-side drivers allowing integration to SPS and other required control functions. The download feature of the processor via the PCI bus adds to the versatility of the system. All camera functions are remotely controlled via a digital interface, making the PixelFly usable in both Intranet and Internet environments.
