CCD With PCI1405

[microwolf]

hello NI:

       I am now using PCI1405 with WAT-902H3 camera to aquire image, but find it is not so clear. Beacause the WATEC camera has not been advised by NI, i am afraid of the compatibility between 1405 and camera. Camera specifications are as follow:

          Effective pixels: 380k(EIA), 440k(CCIR)
          Resolution: 570TVL
          Minimum illumination: 0.0001 lx. F1.4(2), 0.0002 lx. F1.4(3)
         Gain control: AGC(HI:5-60dB, LO:5-32dB) / MGC(5-60dB)
         S/N ratio: 50dB
         Shutter speeds: EI1(OFF-1/100,000), EI2(FL-1/100,000),1/250, 1/500, 1/1,000, 1/2,000, 1/5,000, 1/10,000, 1/100,000
         Gamma: γ=0.35/0.45/1.0
         Back light compensation: OFF, Center, Under, Center+Under emphasis

Would you give some suggestion  how to acquire clear image by NI MAX. Thanks very much!

Hi microwolf,

The PCI-1405 can adquire these analog video signal: NTSC, PAL, RS-170, or CCIR

In this document, you can see the pixels that carry these signals, in "Analog Standards":

If your camera uses CCIR, it should have these characteristics. Do they match?

Hope this helps. Let me know.
