Videology has announced an enhanced version of its popular 20D389 B&W camera board. An optional fast shutter speed control has been added to make more complex high-speed applications possible, while changes to the shutter speed, which can vary from 1/200th to 1/100,000th of a second, can be implemented within one field.
According to the company, its 20D389FS is an excellent choice for applications such as licence plate detail capture at high speeds, barcode data on ships arriving in ports, or information on special government vehicles. Data is imaged within a small field of view and it is easily achieved even with varying levels of illumination, plate reflectivity or shadows. A specific I²C interface detail is supplied so the OEM can create the appropriate interface schema to optimise the device's capability.
