Hi,

These cameras take up quite a lot of bandwidth, what parameters do you find to be optimal when even three of these cameras simultaneously, do you use any compression? Do you collect and broadcast the image using AreaDetectors?

Thank you,

Hi Jesse,

 

I just bought 3 of these cameras for exactly the purpose you describe:

 

FLIR BlackFly S GigE, model BFS-PGE-23S6C-C.

• Color
• 2.3 MP (1920x1200)
• 41 frames/s
• $580

 

https://www.flir.com/products/blackfly-s-gige/?model=BFS-PGE-23S6C-C&vertical=machine+vision&segment=iis

 

These cameras have a resolution and aspect ratio that matches many computer monitors.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mark

Subject: Video camera recommendation?

 

Hi folks,

 

We're looking to migrate all of our old analog video cameras around the beamline to ones that are digital, preferably GigE. Does anyone have recommendations for relatively cheap, reliable, color digital video cameras that integrate well with AreaDetector? Ideally something that's ~1080p in resolution.

 

Apologies if this has been asked before, I did a quick search of the archives and didn't turn up anything recent.

 

All the best.

- Jesse
