JAI BM-500 Camera

The BM-500 CL is a new addition to the Basic tier of the C3 family.

It is a monochrome progressive scan camera with 5 million pixels resolution and Camera Link (CL) interface.

The camera operates at 15 frames/second in continuous mode even with a 5 megapixel resolution, thanks to a well-crafted analog front end design. Partial scan and binning modes are also provided.

The camera offers superb thermal management and pre-processing functions such as: white balance, LUT for compensating lighting condition and a blemish compensation function.

In common with all C3 Camera Suite models, the new BM-500 CL camera is supported by JAI’s SDK and Control Tool.

Dimensions (HxWxL): 55 x 55 x 55 mm.
