(JAI: San Jose, CA) -- JAI announces that it has begun shipping the AT-140GE and the AT-200GE, the latest in its industry-leading 3-CCD color camera series. The company had previously launched versions of these cameras with Camera Link digital interfaces. The new models feature the same 1.4-megapixel and 2-megapixel resolutions as the Camera Link models, but come equipped with GigE Vision serial interfaces, able to operate via standard Ethernet cabling and network hardware.

The AT-140GE features three 1/2-inch progressive scan charge-coupled devices (CCDs) (Sony ICX267AL), each with a resolution of 1,392 × 1,040 pixels and an individual pixel size of 4.65 × 4.65 microns. The AT-200GE uses three 1/1.8-inch progressive scan CCDs (Sony ICX274AL) to provide a resolution of 1,628 × 1,236 pixels with an individual pixel size of 4.4 microns square.

The CCDs are affixed to a prism block that splits the incoming light into red, green, and blue color channels. JAI’s patented alignment process ensures the three sensors are aligned to within 1/4-pixel accuracy, providing pixel-precise color values suitable for machine vision analysis, gauging, and processing.
