Video Inspection & Documentation System          
            Products Contact IPS Support and Services


The Video Inspection and Documentation System (VIDS) allows you to view high magnification images on a video monitor and print the images to a high resolution dye sublimation color printer. Two systems are available - VIDS I, which includes a single chip color camera and VIDS II, which has a three chip color camera. The VIDS comes with a one year warranty on all parts.

Camera Specifications (VIDS I)
Digital processor - the 2H enhancer and the contour compensation are realized by digital processing technology. Therefore, a clear picture with high signal-to-noise ratio is obtained. Further, an optimum picture is obtained, because the picture quality control parameters can be adjusted according to the corresponding menu screens. The contents of the menus can be remotely controlled from a PC. (Optional software is needed.)

External synchronization mode

As the external synchronization mode of HD/VD is most suitable for system operation. The horizontal phase can be adjusted according to the adjustment menu screen. They can also be adjusted from a PC. (Optional software is needed.) Further, high sensitivity as well as high resolution are ensured.

As various settings including auto iris, auto white balance and external synchronization (HD and VD inputs) can be remotely controlled, the KP-D50 can be used with an image processing system or other CCTV systems.

High sensitivity and high resolution

The minimum illumination of 2 1x (f 1.2, AGC : 21 dB) and the horizontal resolution of 470 TV lines are realized by using a high density interline CCD with micro lenses.

Auto white balance control

White balance is automatically controlled in the auto tracking white balance mode (ATW mode) by taking out white signals in a screen in the range from 2500K to 8000K). In the preset white balance is maintained by shooting a white object.

In the manual white balance mode (MANUAL mode), R gain and B gain can be controlled manually.

Text display

One line of up to 24 characters can be displayed at the desired position on the screen. (Character is not displayed for RGB outputs.)

Picture quality adjustment menu

The adjustment of each item and the mode selection can be made five keys on the rear according to the menu displayed on the screen. (For adjustment items, see specification). Menu is not displayed for the RGB outputs.

Y/C outputs (switchable from RGB outputs)

As the luminance (Y) signal and the chrominance (C) signal are delivered separately, a sharp picture is obtained without deteriorating the response of the Y signal to fine patterns.

Automatic electronic shutter (AES)

The AES is provided and the shutter speed from normal (1/60s NTSC, 1/50s PAL) to 1/10,000 second is available.

An optimum output signal level is ensured even when a fixed iris lens is used.

Backlight correction

The backlight correction function is available both for an auto iris lens to which a video signal is input and an auto iris lens to which an iris control voltage is input. This correction I mad according to the conditions, because a photometric region for backlight correction can be selected.

 

Camera Specifications (VIDS II)
Suberb image quality is achieved in a compact 3 CCD camera using C-Mount optics, by a breakthrough in prism design. Designed for video conference, distance learning, microscopy, and machine vision markets, this camera has a wide array of features. A full auto mode can be selected that will allow the camera to operate over a wide range of illumination and color temperatures. Auto shading compensates for shading characteristics of C-Mount lenses. Auto knee, BLC, AES, detail, and contrast are available through the extensive menu system. An RS-232 interface allows access to all menu functions from a PC. For low light situations, the camera features long term integration up to 8 seconds.
