Product Hightlight - Imperx Bobcat

The Imperx Bobcat ICL-B2020 is an advanced high-speed progressive scan, fully programmable CCD camera designed for imaging applications that require high frame rates, high quality images, and powerful features and fexibility. The camera has a small size, light weight, and is built around Kodak's KAI-4022 Interline transfer CCD image sensor with a 1.3" optical format (21.5 mm image diagonal). ICL-B2020 is available with CameraLink output.


The B2020 provides an image resolution of 2056 x 2060 and delivers up to 20.4 frames per second at full resolution. The camera image processing engine is based on a high-speed, high-density FPGA, featuring programmable resolution, speed, 8 independent AOIs, binning, triggering, exposure control, line and frame time, I/O mapping, external/internal sync, AGC, AEC, Auto Iris, transfer function correction, user LUT, Defective and Hot Pixel Correction (DPC, HPC), and Flat Field Correction (FFC).

Frame Link Express Now Runs on Desktops as Well as Laptops

The convenience of the Frame Link Express card that has been used for image acquisition in laptops for the past few years is now available for desktops.


With a PCIe or PCIx adapter in an available slot in the desktop, users can now insert the PCMCIA card directly into the desktop computer and utilize the higher processing and acquisition speeds of a full size machine.

Setting up the desktop is done in a just a few steps:

 Install the adapter

 Install the software for the Frame Link Express

 To access the camera create a virtual port using the VCE CamX application
This also provides a cost effective solution since the Frame Link Express is compatible with most image processing software and any interface and a laptop is not needed.

The configuration has been tested and verified by Sudeep at Uniforce Sales and Engineering. If you have any questions please feel free to call us at 510 657 4000 or email.
