OMI 2.3.1 Release Notes 11
Cameras and Video Formats Supported
This section describes the cameras and video formats that OMI 2.3 supports. Camera
support varies by frame grabber, and, if your frame grabber supports them, by Cognex
Video Module (CVM).
To use this section effectively, look up the frame grabber and CVM you plan to use in
the following sections. Then, refer to the section Video Formats Supported In This
Release on page 20 to find out which video formats you can use.
Caution The tables list the Cognex camera cables required. Cameras must
be connected using the Cognex cables shown in these tables.
Using non-Cognex camera cables could damage your Cognex
hardware, your camera, or both.
Cameras and Camera Lenses
You may purchase cameras for use with your frame grabber through Cognex, or you
may use your own compatible cameras. Consult with your Cognex representative for
cabling and other requirements if you plan to use non-standard cameras. Failing to do
so may affect the warranty coverage on your vision processor.
Cognex offers a lens kit (P/N 800-1000), which includes five lenses (8.5 mm, 12.5 mm,
16 mm, 25 mm, and 50 mm F2.8 macro), a C-mount adapter, and an extension tube set.
Cognex also offers a variety of camera lenses that you can order individually, including
all the lenses in the lens kit, plus 50 mm, 75 mm, and 135 mm lenses. You can also order
a C-mount adapter, a 2X extender lens, or an extension tube set.
In the following tables, the term rapid reset means that the camera resets the sync signal
the instant that a request for an image arrives.
Special Camera Settings
Certain supported cameras require special settings when used with MVS-8000
hardware. All special camera settings are listed in the hardware manual for your frame
grabber.
The cameras that require special settings are:
• Sony XC-55 and XC-55BB
