The future of
image-processing

Allied Vision Technologies:
Leading in the development of
digital cameras.
It was with the development of its first
series of digital cameras that Allied Vision
Technologies launched its extensive knowhow in the market for industrial image processing onto the worldmarket.
With experience accumulated over nearly
two decades and expertise built up in the
most sophisticated manufacturing techniques, tens of thousands of cameras in the
Dolphin, Marlin, Oscar, Pike and Guppy
series have been produced and marketed all
over the world since the outset. At the
same time, with its series of cameras, the
company created the possibility of making
a great number ofcustomer-specific modifications for a wide variety of requirements
utilizing technology developed inhouse.
Today AVT cameras are to be found on automatic assembly lines, in sorting machines,
and on production lines of a multitude of
users all over the world. Our products help
to monitor complex and high-cost production processes, to diagnose, measure, sort,
inspect, and monitor.

FireWire–
the digital standard in
image processing.
The digital connection technology presented to the computer industry by Apple
as long ago as 1994 is now marching triumphantly forward through industrial
image processing. The industry standard
designated as IEEE 1394 (FireWire™ or
i-Link™) facilitates the simplest computer
compatibility and bidirectional data transfer using the plug & playprocess. Further
development of the IEEE 1394 standard
has already made 800 Mbit/second possible – and the FireWire roadmap is already
envisaging 1600 Mbit/second, with 3.2
GBit/second as the next step. Investment
in this standard is therefore secure for the
future; each further development takes
into account compatibility with the prece-

Seeing is believing.
The ranges ofdigital cameras under the
Allied Vision Technologies brand name have
been joined by new interfaces, transmission
speeds, and image resolution levels that had

ding standard, and vice versa, meaning
that IEEE 1394b is reverse-compatible
with IEEE 1394a. Your applications will
grow as technical progress advances.
A multi-media connection under the IEEE
1394 standard permits the simplestpossible real-time data connections at low cost.
This digital standard also makes transferring possible without any loss of data. Its
plug & play functionalities predestine IEEE
1394 for use in a wide range of environments, and its peer-to-peer capability
ensures quick and easy installation
without any complex hierarchy of devices.
IEEE 1394b additionally allows cable
lengths of 100 meters andmore and even
the use of a mixture of ‘a’ and ‘b’ systems
without any difficulty.

previously been unimaginable. AVT’s knowledge of digital camera technology is opening up not only new markets but also a
wide variety of new applications as well.

The five camera lines – DOLPHIN, MARLIN, OSCAR,
PIKE AND GUPPY – provide a wide selection
of possible image qualities with their various
sensor sizes and image resolution levels.Black-and-white, color, high-resolution, or with
a high frame rate: for every application
there is the right camera.

The AVT GUPPY
camera family is distinguished by an IEEE 1394
interface and an extremely
compact design. It consists
of thirteen different camera
variants and, with a wide
variety of sensors and
bandwidths, offers the right
solution for nearly any
conceivable application.
