PIKE types and highlights
With Pike cameras, entry into the world of digital image processing is simpler
and more cost-effective than ever before.
With the new Pike, Allied Vision Technologies presents the broadest range of
cameras in the market with IEEE 1394b interfaces. Moreover, with daisy chain
as well as Direct Fiber technology they gain the highest level of acceptance
for demanding areas of use in manufacturing industry.
Allied Vision Technologies can provide users with a range of products that
meet almost all the requirements of a very wide range of image applications.
The industry standard IEEE 1394 (FireWire or i.Link) facilitates the simplest
computer compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug & play
process. Further development of the IEEE 1394 standard has already made
800 Mbit/second possible – and the firewire roadmap is already envisaging
1600 Mbit/second, with 3.2 Gbit/second as the next step. Investment in this
standard is therefore secure for the future; each further development takes
into account compatibility with the preceding standard, and vice versa,
meaning that IEEE 1394b is reverse-compatible with IEEE 1394a. Your appli-
cations will grow as technical progress advances.
For further information on FireWire read Chapter FireWire on page 21.
The AVT Pike family consists of five IEEE 1394b C-Mount cameras, which are
equipped with highly sensitive high-quality CCD sensors.
Each of these cameras is available in black/white and color versions.
A large selection of different sensor sizes (type 1/3, type 2/3, type 1,
type 1.2) and resolutions ensures the suitability of the cameras for all appli-
cations.
The Pike family consists of the following models:
