mPRESSION

MPression develops technology for the machine vision industry. We strive to provide a superior package of solutions leveraging expertise in key areas such as FPGAs, processors, and interface devices, together with system-level technologies such as power and clock trees. We complete our offerings with expertise in signal integrity, intellectual property, and software support.

While electronic designs are becoming more complex, engineers are required to design products on ever shortening schedules and at lower costs, without compromising performance or quality. Macnica Vision delivers the necessary environment for those engineers to accelerate their electronics designs while maintaining higher quality and performance. We will help you stay one step ahead at the system level.

Today Sony CMOS image sensors and FPGAs are used in nearly all machine vision cameras, with Sony SLVS-EC, the interface of choice to handle high-speed, long-distance communication. It has become especially popular because it uses an embedded clock technology that’s tolerant of lane-to-lane skew.

Now, with our SLVS-EC Rx IP, Macnica Vision is offering an intellectual property package that makes board-level design for SLVS-EC very easy. It’s the toolkit you need for faster, better, easier and more profitable camera design.

EasyMVC, our Easy Machine Vision Camera Kit, helps hardware engineers and software developers evaluate machine vision technology and build prototype cameras. At its most powerful, the kit can be used for pre-purchase evaluation of our intellectual property cores for SLVS-EC, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, and CoaXPress.

The kit consists of an image sensor board, an FPGA board, and an interface board, plus a choice of cutting-edge CMOS image sensors, FPGAs and interface cards. Choose from the models listed below. The EasyMVC Sony IMX420MS/CS C10 HDMI U3V Kit, for example, gives you a Sony IMX420 CMOS sensor card, an Intel Cyclone 10GX FPGA Card, and an interface card ready for the USB3 Vision and HDMI 2.0 standards.

Other kits include the components, software and intellectual property you need to evaluate and develop for CoaXPress 1.1.1 or 2.0, 10GigE Vision, or GigE Vision, and you can mix or match the boards that you want.

• Evaluate key technologies making up machine vision cameras:
  • Cutting-edge CMOS image sensors
  • Various machine vision interfaces
  • IP cores that Macnica offers
• Make it easy to develop prototypes of machine vision cameras
  • FPGA design
  • Firmware development
  • Development of Host PC software
  • More!

The IMX421 offers 2.86 Mpixels, capturing HD images at frame rates up to 371fps, and a staggering 780fps max at lower resolutions.
 

The IMX420, with its 7.10 Mpixels is a significant step up, with many applications now requiring more resolution, either to see finer details, or to be able to image a much larger area, and maintain good resolution over the whole area, this sensor is a perfect fit.

The IMX530 for the Easy MVC kit is releasing later this year. The IMX530 offers an impressive 24.55Mpixels. It is a next generation Pregius S part, with the signal processing stacked on the backside illuminated sensor it creates a very compact sensor for the resolution.
