（据德国阿伦斯堡报道）– Basler Vision Technologies 扩展pilot GigE系列相机，新增两款型号相机采用的是Sony的ICX625 CCD芯片。
新的pilot piA2400-17相机图像采集速率可达17帧每秒，并继续保证高图像质量。分辨率为2448 x 2050，即5百万像素。这两款相机是Basler的piA2400-12相机的延伸，他们分辨率相同，但是旧款相机的帧速为12帧每秒。更吸引人的是，新款相机的定价与旧款相同。Basler pilot 系列相机是智能交通(ITS)，半导体和电子检测，LCD 检测，3D测量和其他多种应用的理想选择。
Basler Components产品经理Henning Tiarks说： “我们认为，为pilot系列添加的piA2400-17 是目前市场上采用ICX625芯片的最快的5百万像素的相机。我们重新定义了速度与图像质量，但是保持价格不变。”
新的piA2400-17相机突破了市场上同类相机速度为12帧的上限，将采集速率提高到17帧。17 帧通常是1百万像素相机的标准采集速率，例如： Basler的A102f或者scout 系列的scA1400‑17。现在，在一个程序中同时链接一个1百万像素的相机和一个5百万像素的相机就变得非常简单。客户无需运行同步功能就可以同时从两个相机中采集图像。
Basler pilot系列所有型号的外盒都十分小巧，体积为29 mm x 44 mm x 98.5 mm，带有一个兼容 GigE Vision标准的千兆网接口，相机有彩色与黑白两种。相机还提供一个RJ‑45旋口式网络接头。标准相机配有C口适配器。为了方便空间有限的应用集成，用户还可以选择带90度转角的相机。
新型号的相机图像质量高，每个产品都经过符合EMVA 1288标准的灵敏度测试。新设计理念保证相机即使在17帧每秒的采集速率下运行时，采图效果甚至比旧的12帧每秒的相机的图像更好。
Basler凭借多年的经验，在设计时力求保证成像芯片通过两个通道输出的信号平衡一致，从而获得统一匀质的图像。这一技术上的优势深受Basler pilot相机用户的喜爱。Basler pilot 系列所有相机与其他使用同样芯片的相机相比，输出效果尤为突出。
Basler的pylon驱动包支持GigE和FireWire两种接口的相机。Basler pylon SDK有丰富的文档和源码例程，用户可以通过简单的复制粘贴直接将相机集成到应用中。Pylon驱动技术有Basler独立开发，经过上千次安装实验测试，CPU负载低，稳定性强，便于使用。
新的 pilot相机于2008年10月正式投入批量生产。
今年9月30日至10月2日在法国巴黎举行的视觉展和11月4-6日在德国斯图加特举行的视觉贸易展会上，Basler将会展出新款pilot相机。

Ahrensburg, 9 September 2008 – Basler Vision Technologies expands its successful pilot GigE camera series with two new models based on Sony’s ICX625 CCD sensor.

The new pilot piA2400-17 cameras feature an image capture rate of up to 17 frames per second with uncompromisingly high image quality. With 2448 x 2050 pixels, these cameras deliver five megapixel resolution. They are the direct successors of Basler’s piA2400-12 cameras, which feature the same resolution but offer a 12 frame rate. To be even more attractive, the new models will have the same prices as the older cameras. Basler pilot cameras fit perfectly into intelligent traffic systems (ITS), semiconductor and electronics inspection, LCD inspection, 3D measurement, and several other applications.

 “By adding the piA2400-17 cameras to our pilot portfolio, we think we currently supply the marketplace with the fastest five megapixel cameras using the ICX625 sensor. And we redefine the benchmark for speed and image quality while retaining our attractive price level”, explains Henning Tiarks, Product Manager at Basler Components.

The new piA2400-17 models actually break the 12 frame barrier that had been set by the market for this class of cameras and allow an image capture rate of 17 frames. A 17 frame rate is the usual standard for one megapixel cameras such as Basler’s A102f or scout scA1400‑17. The combination of a one megapixel camera and a new pilot five megapixel camera within a single application is now very easy. Customers can capture images from both cameras at the same time without performing the synchronization tasks needed in the past.

All Basler pilot camera models feature a compact 29 mm x 44 mm x 98.5 mm housing with a GigE Vision compliant Gigabit Ethernet interface. They are available in monochrome or color. The cameras provide an RJ‑45 Ethernet connector with a screw mount option. Standard cameras are equipped with a C-mount lens adapter. For easier integration into space critical applications, a 90° angled head option is available.

The impressive image quality of these new models is measured and qualified for each camera during production using automated EMVA 1288-based sensitivity tests. Thanks to a superior camera design, even at 17 frames these tests show results that are comparable to or even better than the 12 frame versions.

Basler has leveraged its years of experience in balancing the output from imaging sensors with two taps, so customers can expect a perfectly balanced, homogenous image. This technological advantage has already impressed many customers who use other Basler pilot cameras based on Kodak dual readout sensors. All Basler pilot cameras have shown exceptionally good results compared to competitive cameras based on the same sensors.

Basler’s pylon driver package supports both GigE and FireWire cameras. The Basler pylon SDK enables straightforward integration into existing applications via extensive documentation and code samples that can often be simply cut and pasted into customer applications. The pylon driver technology developed by Basler has been proven in several thousand camera installations over the last year and has gained a well-deserved reputation for low CPU load, robustness, and ease of use.

The new pilot cameras will enter series production in October 2008.

This year, the cameras will be presented at the Vision Show in Paris, France from September 30 until October 2, 2008 and at the VISION trade show in Stuttgart, Germany from November 4-6, 2008.
