Manufacturer of machine vision cameras and software for industrial imaging, The Imaging Source, has introduced a series of industrial and single-board cameras featuring Aptina CMOS sensors. Available in board-level and housed form factors, the 27 camera series features a compact and robust industrial design with C/CS mount and is available with a USB 3.0 interface in monochrome and colour.

The 5 and 10MP CMOS cameras come equipped with the Aptina MT9P006 and MT9J003 sensors respectively and are distinguished by their compact design (starting at 30x30x10mm) and image quality as well as their price-performance ratio.

The 27 camera series has comprehensive software support for Windows and Linux, meaning both programmers and end-users feel at home. Getting started with the cameras takes only a matter of minutes and integrating them into existing applications takes only a few lines of code. All cameras are shipped with drivers for LabView, HALCON, MERLIC, VisionPro, DirectX, Twain, and NeuroCheck. All camera parameters and settings can be set via the shipped software. End-user applications, an SDK consisting of .NET and ActiveX components and a C++ class library for W7/8, Vista and XP, and drivers for third party software are included with the cameras. In addition to this, powerful automatic modes ensure optimal image quality even under varying lighting conditions.

The cameras are shipped with: Driver for Windows XP, Vista, W7/8, and the SDK IC Imaging Control 3.2 (.NET and C++ library) and IC Capture. IC Capture is a powerful end-user software to set all camera parameters and to display and save single images and image sequences.
