MELVILLE, N.Y., Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today introduced the Company's next generation of
multi-purpose cameras, the ML-100, and the ML-105i,
which deliver amazingly high sensitivity to capture Full HD Color
video with a minimum subject illumination of less than 0.0005 lux
(at maximum 75 dB gain setting, equivalent to an ISO sensitivity of
over 4,500,000). With the ability to capture color low-light
images, these multi-purpose cameras can be utilized in industrial
system design, where seeing color images is critical during day and
night.
Canon's new series of multi-purpose industrial machine vision
cameras employ a next-generation 19um, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor.
The modular design of the cameras allows implementation and
integration into industrial machine vision environments.
The ML series is available in two models with two different lens
mounts and two video output configurations to choose from, for a
total of four camera options. The ML-100 camera features a
CoaXpress terminal, which allows for the transmission of video,
camera-control data and power on a single coaxial cable, ideal for
use in industrial systems. The CoaXpress terminal produces 12-bit
RAW data output at up to 73 fps and allows for more flexibility
during processing. The ML-100 features approximately 2.74 million
pixels of maximum video output and supports Region of Interest,
which can improve frame rate output up to 164 fps at 720p
resolution. The ML-105 camera features a 3G/HD-SDI video terminal
and can be suited for standard video environments where Canon image
processing, including YCC 4:2:2 10-bit output, is required. The
ML-105 features the Canon DIGIC DV4 Image Processor, capable of
delivering Full HD resolution at 60fps. Both cameras can be ordered
with either an EF or M58 mount for total system design
flexibility.
The EF mount gives customers the ability to choose from Canon's
still and cinema lens lineup, while the M58 offers lens
customization and design choice to the user.
The M58 mount version of the Canon ML-100 multi-purpose camera
is scheduled to be available at the end of December 2020. The other three models are
scheduled to be available in April
2021ii. For more information, please visit
