The exo387MU3TR "Tracer" blends a Sony Pregius IMX387LLA sensor with the Micro-Four-Thirds lens standard. The result is a flexible imaging solution that delivers excellent image quality. The user has full control of lens zoom, focus and aperture through GenICam parameters, making for a seamless solution easily integrated with existing software.

EXO CAMERAS

SVS-Vistek calls their EXO TRACER series cameras “the integrator’s camera,” and they do so with good reason. Most EXO TRACER cameras are built on Sony IMX Pregius sensors offering excellent dynamic range and efficiency with a high signal-to-noise ratio. These cameras deliver all the imaging control you would expect, plus a surprising amount of I/O functionality.

Being USB3 Vision and Genicam compliant, most machine vision software platforms can easily communicate with EXO TRACER cameras. And, for those that prefer to develop a custom application, there is a free SDK.

All EXO TRACER USB3 Vision cameras can be powered via either Power-over-Ethernet ("PoE") or an external 12 - 24 VDC supply.

MFT LENS SYSTEM

The MFT lens system was pioneered by increasing demands in digital still photography. This standard, based on a bayonet mount, is widely used for compact cameras and is 100% optimized for digital image capture. There is a wide selection of suitable lenses, making new and previously unthinkable solutions reality.

In addition, the "Tracer" features:

> Micro-Four-Thirds lens adapter

> Fast user control of zoom, aperture and focus

> Lens settings controlled by USB3 Vision Ethernet interface

> USB3 Vision and GenIcam compatible

MACHINED ALUMINUM HOUSING

The EXO TRACER series cameras have a precision-machined 50 x 50 mm IP40 aluminum body. The unibody housing ensures excellent temperature distribution, enabling today’s image sensors to run cooler. The rigid lens mount keeps lenses properly positioned to maintain sharp focus. There are mounting holes on five faces of the housing, plus a standard 1/4-20 tap on the bottom for attaching a tripod.

The housing includes a multi-color flashing LED that indicates camera status.

POWERFUL I/O FUNCTIONALITY

This USB3 Vision camera has two trigger inputs plus an optically-isolated input. There are four outputs. There is also an RS232 input (RXD) and output (TXD). Inputs use Schmitt triggers for better noise immunity. Both inputs and outputs support discrete 24 VDC.

The camera’s inputs offer unusual functionality. They can be configured to debounce inputs, control timing of camera operations and output signals, and control four independent pulse (PWM) generators. Timing functions can be programmed with a resolution of 15 ns. A pulse divider lets you take an action on every nth signal, where n is a value between 1 and 15. Logic gates (AND, NAND, OR, NOR) combine signals to make decisions.

BUILT-IN LIGHT CONTROL

A built-in LED driver enables control of external lights. The driver delivers up to 3 amps for 40 ms, or 0.3 amps continuously. High-frequency PWM functionality enables the camera to control light intensity. Most EXO TRACER models support up to four independent lights.
