IT-CCD Evaluation Hardware
Evaluation Hardware: 5.5 and 7.4 Micron IT-CCD
IT-CCD Evaluation Hardware allows the performance of all members of the Truesense Imaging 5.5 micron and 7.4 micron Interline Transfer CCD Portfolios to be evaluated without the need to develop a new camera design. When combined with Sensor Studio II Software, this hardware provides full sensor control to enable both still and video capture, with support for ROI readout and pixel binning. In addition, custom image test functions can be developed to further evaluate sensor performance.
The Evaluation Hardware consists of three components which are purchased separately: the appropriate Imager Board for the sensor being evaluated, an FPGA Board that drives the imager board, and a Lens Mount Kit that supports C, CS, and F mount lenses and also includes an IR cut-filter for color imaging. Note that all three components are required to evaluate a sensor.

In addition to these components, the following items are also required to evaluate a sensor:
- The specific Interline Transfer CCD sensor to be evaluated (purchased separately – not included in the Evaluation Hardware). Please see the appropriate device datasheet for specific ordering information. Note that the Evaluation Hardware is compatible with PGA package configurations only.
- Power supply for the Evaluation Hardware (12 VDC, 2A, with 2.1 mm center positive DC power jack).
- Computer (XP, Vista 32 Bit, or Windows 7 32 bit. 64 bit OS not supported at this time.) 2+ GHz processor, 2+ GB RAM, USB 2.0 connection, available ExpressCard 54 (Laptop) or PCI Express slot (desktop).
- Camera Link Frame Grabber (Imperx FrameLink Express or Bitflow NOEN CLB).
- Camera Link Cable (SDR to SDR for Imperx Frame Grabber, SDR to MDR for Bitflow Frame Grabber, 2 meter cable length recommended).
- Sensor Studio II Software.
- Camera lens (C, CS, and F mount lenses are supported).
- Table-top tripod (optional).
Other Interline Transfer Devices
Individual Evaluation Boards are also available for many other Interline Transfer CCD devices - please see the appropriate device datasheet for ordering information.
