The price is about 300 – 500 JPY |
The AC adapter and HDMI cable of our Hi – Vision camera are straight out from the back of the camera.
In case of incorporation, you may want to shorten the space of this wiring part.
In that case, wiring space can be easily omitted by using the connector for sideways drawing.
For lateral extension connector · For HDMI cable (left) · For AC adapter (right)
You can omit the space on the back as shown in the picture below.
Our HD camera has external trigger and correspond to external trigger.
Connect extension cable instead of standard one.
Shorting the white wire and the shielded wire will trigger a preservation trigger. The red line is “unused”
The actual number of pixel is 1920×1080

There is no problem with menu and display function. Camera is also ok too. | |
Please understand that it does not guarantee the operation of all HDMI wireless transmitter/receiver.
In order to display two images with a type of camera directly connected to the monitor, a device called a divider is required.
I will introduce some of them.
1. Connect two high-definition cameras (single-function type).
The usage is exceptionally straightforward, supporting up to two cameras simultaneously.
※ Manufacturer Model Number: YHD-M21
There are two modes available, and you can switch between them.
We also offer this product for sale in our company.
2. Connect 2 or 4 high-definition cameras (high-functionality type)
You can simultaneously display the footage from all 4 high-definition cameras on a single monitor.
Manufacturer’s model number: CDPS-41SQN.
It is possible to connect up to four cameras, and the system offers various functionalities.
(Example of use) You can simultaneously inspect the top and side surfaces of a single object.
We also offer this product for sale in our company.
3. Connect 3 or 9 high-definition cameras.
This is a commercially available splitter capable of connecting up to 9 cameras.
All operations are performed using the remote control. The main unit of the multi-viewer does not have operational controls.
(Example of connection) Connect two high-definition cameras of different models.
As for the functionalities, there are three display modes: 9-screen display mode, 4-screen display mode, and 1-screen display mode.
<9-screen display mode>
<4-screen display mode>
<1-screen display mode>
* In 1-screen display mode, you can sequentially cycle through each screen.
4. USB Camera
When it comes to using USB cameras for split display (multi-screen display), no additional hardware is required. In our company, we offer software solutions such as HiTriggerFPro4 and HiTriggerQ, which support multiple USB cameras simultaneously.
The easiest way is to use a screen divider to view the images of multiple HDTV cameras on one monitor.
Sold by several companies, the price will be around 100,000 yen.
■ Divider of hypertools
Up to 4 HD camera can be displayed on one monitor at the same time
■ Divider of Sanwa Supply
Images of four high definition cameras can be displayed on one monitor at the same time.
If there are many more screens, it seems that many inputs are of BNC type.
The following will be the input HDMI (Hi-vision) 16 divider.
There is unlimited length restriction in the HDMI standard. In general, it is supposed to be 15 meters with a metal cable.
Commercially available cables are mostly up to 15 m.
It seems that it is sold until about 20 m when you search.
However, various extender products are available to sale and it is possible to extend up to 100 m.
The following is an extension using a coaxial cable that makes it possible to extend up to 120 m.
Our high definition camera and PC monitor direct camera have a USB port. Normally, you can insert a USB memory here.
Pictures taken are saved in this USB memory.
In order to see the saved image, you need to unplug the USB memory and connect it to the PC.
I will show you how to send the saving images directly to the PC or tablet by omitting the movement of the USB memory.
That is WiFi internal SD card, wireless SD card.
Connect this to USB port of camera using USB-SD converter
 |
 |
The setting method differs slightly depending on the manufacturer of the card. But the following two steps are very necessary.
1. Download the application from the manufacturer’s website
2. Recognize SD card with Wifi compatible PC with Wifi connection
After setting, you can do something like the picture below.
The above monitor is a Live image directly connected to the camera.
The picture taken on the bottom monitor (tablet) will be saved
After disconnecting the shutter of the camera, it is necessary to update the PC or tablet side. But if you press “F5” which was a function key and reload it, you can immediately check the latest recording video. WiFi built-in SD card for cloud is also available.
If you use this, images will be stored on the cloud. Various types of wireless SD cards are on sale. However, when using them with our camera, please note that it is not guaranteed to operate with all cards. Our company is using Toshiba’s flash air right now.
We also checked the operation of the old type of Eye-Fi and confirmed that there is no problem. However, Eye-Fi’s new type (compatible with the cloud) did not work properly with our camera.
※ Although image saving was possible, you cannot save images suddenly. There are two common causes.
① When the application of the WifiSD card being used is automatically renewed, Wifi settings may be missing, you will be able to recognize and reserve images by setting again.
② Since SD card reader no longer recognizes SD card readers, there are many times that SD card readers will not recognize when SD cards are slightly misaligned.
Our camera can display on the menu whether the image storage medium is normal or abnormal. If there is no camera mark in the menu of the following photographs, we recognize if camera cannot recognized is attached.
If you do not recognize, you can correspond such as intert/remove SD card or change card reader.
High-definition cameras operating independently face limitations in recording video duration. To capture extended video footage spanning several hours, there exist primarily two methodologies: the utilization of a personal computer (“PC”) and an approach abstaining from PC involvement.
By employing a PC, one gains the capability to directly record videos onto the storage system of the personal computer, thereby facilitating prolonged recording durations.
For a comprehensive understanding of the methodologies involving PC utilization, please refer to the subsequent page.
The substitution of a high-capacity external HDD (up to 1TB) in lieu of a USB memory enables the potential for protracted recording periods.
As a noteworthy consideration, externally powered HDDs are imperative, as those reliant on bus power will not function. It is essential to employ self-powered HDDs, ensuring an independent power supply for the external HDD.
Furthermore, if the formatting adheres to FAT32, there exists a file size limitation of 4GB. Therefore, for individuals aspiring to record lengthy videos within a single file, employing an HDD formatted with NTFS is recommended.
It is crucial to note that operation is not supported with exFAT formatting.
There are several ways to input signals from a high definition camera to a PC.
We will introduce two good usability.
1．HDMI to USB 3.0 converter
The bottom picture is HDMI to USB 3.0 converter (CV 710) of AbverMedia Technologies.
If you have a 3.0 USB port, you can use it even on both laptop and destop.
If you download special software from manufacture’s official website, you can easily record movies and play it again on your computer.
I think, it has a high versatility because it can be saved on PC and can be played on PC.
２．SD recorder for HD
Below picture is SD recorder for HD of microscope
PC is unnecessary. You can save still images and movies. Since it is stored on the SD card, you need to move the SD card to the PC and read it.
Since it has an external trigger terminal, it can be controlled with a foot switch or PLC.
I tried connecting with our full high definition camera.
You can save both movies and still images
The power supply of this HD SD recorder is sold separately.
(The power is connected to MicroUSB port)
There are several ways to input signals from a high definition camera to a PC.
One way is to use a capture board.
However, the shape changes on a notebook PC or a desktop PC, and the shape of the throttle must also be considered.
We please introduce transducers that can be used irrespective of shape and PC type.
1. HDMI to USB 3.0 converter
The below picture is the HDMI to USB 3.0 converter manufactured by I-O DATA Corporation, identified as the GV-USB3/HD.
If you have a USB 3.0 port, you can use it on both laptop and destop.
If you download special software from manufature’s official website, you can easily shoot movies and play it again on your PC.
The advantage lies in the elimination of the process involving the removal of USB memory or SD cards from the camera and their subsequent insertion into the PC. However, it is important to note that, due to the specification of utilizing USB, real-time performance may slightly diminish compared to a direct connection to the monitor.
Additionally, it is imperative for the PC to be equipped with a USB 3.0 port, as the device will not operate with a USB 2.0 port. Furthermore, compatibility with high-definition cameras is extended to include the utilization of standard measurement software for microscopes.
Hi-Vision is a high-definition video standard. There are several kinds among them. (It is expressed by effective vertical resolution and scanning method.)
Those with a vertical resolution of 1080 are called “Full Hi-Vision (Full HD)”. Something less than this may be referred to as “secondary high vision”.
(I usually think that it is often expressed as “Hi-Vision”.)
There are two kinds of scanning methods as follows.
Interlaced scanning method (interlaced scanning method) and progressive scanning method (progressive scanning method).
For interlaced scanning method, add “i” at the end, “p” at the end in the case of the progressive scanning method.
If it is 1080p, it becomes full high vision (1920 × 1080) of the progressive scanning method.
If it is 720p, it becomes the sub Hi-Vision (1280 x 720) of the progressive scanning method
The environmental resistance of a normal C mount camera is
・Temperature 0 ° C to 40 ° C
・Humidity 35% to 85% (non condensing)
There seems to be a lot of things. A separate cooling system is necessary to ensure a certain level of heat resistance.
There seems to be some simple things like the following as long as it is at the 60 ° C to 100 ° C level.
(Beyond this, it will be almost custom made.)
If it is not a USB camera but a GigE camera, there seems to be an environment resistant camera.
Here is
Temperature -40 ℃ to 85 ℃
Humidity 10% to 90% (without condensation)
Even general purpose application software in Windows can convert from BMP to JPEG
Some free software can convert multiple BMPs into JPEGs
Below is free software that can convert BMP in bulk.
I think Core i 7 is necessary because it will be quite heavy processing.
Of course, using USB 3.0 is a prerequisite.
As the number of cameras increases, the following problems occur.
・Setting difficult ·
・Cameras that do not recognize due to insufficient bandwidth come out. (I do not know without actually trying this.)
It may be better to increase the number of pixels of the camera and reduce the number. Those with 10 million pixels more than 4 million pixels are more safe.
Currently, I think that there are many PCs with only one USB 3.0 port.
In that case please try using the board which adds USB 3.0 like the picture below. Unlike other general expansion boards, this board is equipped with USB controller chips for the number of ports (only one is common, it is increased to 4 ports like a USB hub) ).
Professional-oriented interface board USB 3.0 port expansion USB 3.0 RX 4 – P 4 – PCIE
When using multiple USB cameras simultaneously on a single computer, there are three points to consider:
Please note that at the end of the explanation, I will introduce USB cameras that allow you to use multiple cameras simultaneously on a single computer. Please continue reading for more information.
■ It is possible to use multiple cameras with one PC. However, depending on the camera, it may not be possible to use the same model.
(In the case of the same model, the driver software will be the same and may interfere.)
< The upper limit of camera quantity>
Let’s first consider the bandwidth.
If we are operating a single 3-megapixel camera at 10 frames per second, the data rate would be 30 megabytes per second (3 megapixels × 10 fps = 30 MB/s).
(Each pixel calculated as one byte)
<In the case of a USB 2.0 camera>
The bandwidth of USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps, but the maximum achievable speed in bulk transfer mode is specified to be approximately 52 MB/s. Therefore, simultaneous usage of two or more cameras is not possible (30 MB/s × 2 > 52 MB/s)
<In the case of a USB 3.0 camera>
The bandwidth of USB 3.0 is 5 Gbps. However, according to specifications, 8-bit data is converted into a 10-bit signal and transmitted. Therefore, the actual data transfer speed is theoretically limited to 4 Gbps, which is equivalent to 500 MB/s. As a result, it is possible to use a maximum of 16 cameras simultaneously, calculated as 500 MB/s divided by 30 MB/s. (This is strictly considering bandwidth, but in reality, the presence of control data communication and other factors may limit the number of cameras to less than 16.)
If you plan to use multiple cameras, it is advisable to utilize USB 3.0 for optimal performance.
<CPU performance >
Processing multiple camera images simultaneously is expected to impose a substantial burden on the CPU. While the actual impact may vary depending on the software used, there is no alternative but to test it in practice. In essence, it is advisable to employ a CPU with high processing capabilities.
You can use this if you have a type with an external input port on USB camera.
Below is the USB camera with our external input port.
With the standard Viewer software (i Control), images are temporarily saved in the internal memory of the camera with an external trigger. (Paused state)
<How to save paused video>
1. Make a program
Once you’ve assembled the program, you can save it in the specified folder.
SDK (development support tool) is included in the attached CD.
Using this, we will form a program.
The following languages in red frame are available.
２．Use optional trigger software
By using our company software, you can save the image with an external trigger.
If you save for a certain time, you can easily create an external trigger by using a timer switch.
If you have any questions about trigger software, please contact technical support.
Customers may request “I want to save images using external trigger even with cameras without external trigger terminals”.
In this case, how about using existing input boxes?
Several Shortcut keys are set in the Viewer software Meats of Songpanyu.
For example, “Save” is set to “Ctrl + S”.
Using an existing input box, you can convert a signal (external trigger) from an external switch into a key signal such as “Ctrl + S”. In other words, instead of pressing “Ctrl + S” on the keyboard, you can save the image being displayed with the Viewer software Measure by turning on the external switch.
In this time I tried using “Anything Switch USB” (made by Techno Tools) to replace input box.
The setting methos as follow:
1. Connect an external switch to the terminal of the input box
2. Connect this input box to the PC via USB
3. Install software attached of input box on your computer
4. With the included software, It is mean to the external switch connected from 1 to 5 cable
For example, if you set “Ctrl + S” above as the output when the switch is on, you can save the image at an arbitrary timing using an external trigger.
Setup is completed.
Afterward, while displaying the image with Viewer software Measure, if you turn on the external switch at an arbitrary timing, you can easily capture the image even if there is no external trigger terminal on the camera.
Since it can be set easily, I think that it is worth having trial.
The PC’s C-State may be active, and this can be the underlying cause of the symptoms.
C-State, in simple terms, refers to a feature that puts the CPU in a low-power state to conserve energy in a PC.
Consequently, there are often instances where there is insufficient power supply from the USB, resulting in phenomena such as delayed or stuttering video when using devices like USB cameras. Particularly in Windows 10, C-State is enabled to extend battery life and promote power efficiency. It is distinct from the power plan’s power-saving mode.
If changing the power plan from power-saving or balanced to high performance does not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to disable C-State. Disabling C-State can be done through the BIOS, but the specific instructions may vary depending on the manufacturer, so it is not possible to provide a universal procedure.
If it is necessary to disable C-State, please contact our company for further assistance.
One of the causes may be is PC’s current supply is insufficient.
(It is not interfere, so we can not deal with repeater cable)
Especially notebook PCs may have a small power or in power saving mode in the initial state.
In this case, using a self-powered HUB (HUB with an AC adapter) is an easy solution.
The power supplied to the camera and active cable is now supplied from the HUB not the PC.
There is also a self power HUB with an ammeter as below
The following error occurs if the computer can not recognize the camera.
The 3 main causes are as follows:
1. The camera is not connected to the PC
2. The driver software of the camera is not installed
3. A driver of another camera is selected
<Solution>
Select Option -> Select Device.
Open Select Device.
Please select the connected camera from among these.
(In case there is no camera connected in the window)
It is possible that the driver is not installed.
→ Please install driver software.
You can download the driver software from here (Shodensha website).
Unfortunately there is sometimes cases like this. Even with USB devices, freezing may occur due to compatibility problems or interference. There are three problems as follow:
1. Communication failure
USB cameras do not have a retransmission function. The screen freezes when the communication is interrupted even once (communication error occurs).
The cause may be poor contact of USB connector, extension of USB cable, superimposition of noise, etc.
2. Interference with other driver software
Unlike application software, driver software is close to the system and may interfere with driver software such as Web camera. Not limited to cameras, video-based drivers and the like may interfere.
(In the past, there was also a case where the TV tuner board interfered.)
3. USB port problem
If you are using a USB hub or an additional board USB port, the operation may become unstable.
<Solution> Of course, a problem of the camera body is also considered. To solve it, first run it on another PC to see if the same symptoms appear.
(It turns out whether the camera is a hardware malfunction or not.)
If there is no problem with other PC, connect to the PC where the error occurs, completely remove the driver, reinstall it. (
Unlike application software, driver software can not be completely deleted manually.
Please download “complete removal program” from our HP and use it. ) Be sure to check the operation using the port when reinstalling.
Our company possesses software with a timestamp feature, commonly known as a time-stamping function, capable of imprinting the date and time onto still images.
By utilizing the following trigger software, you can display timestamps down to the second and have them embedded within the still images when saving them.
Hi TriggerF Pro software :
https://www.shodensha.com.vn/vi/hi-triggerf-pro/
Hi TriggerF PRO4:
Since our camera does not support the tablet exclusive OS (WindowsRT), please check OS first.
Please alsp note that it is not compatible with Mac.
■ General purpose type

Display delay is severe, it is not a practical level.
The display delay seems to be a problem of the CPU’s calculation speed, memory, bit number.
Generally, it is said that “To run Windows 8, 64 bit, 4 GB are very nesscessary “
In the case of tablet general-purpose aircraft, there seems to be some lack of performance.
■High function machine type

The image is displayed normally. It is a level without problem in actual use of display speed.
I installed a 300M camera but it is a level without problems in actual use.
When using tablet, confirmation is necessary because the display speed may become very slow.
In addition, we recommend the type “Windows 8” “64bit” “Main storage capacity 4GB or more” “USB port is port Aand “Can be connected directly to camera” type.
API is an interface that is set up so that it can be programmed concisely to save programming time when programing an application called Application Programming Interface (Application Programming Interface).
SDK is software development kit (Software Development Kit).
Currently, we have a model that exposes the SDK and a model that has not released the SDK.
Since our USB camera supports Directshow, it is possible to make camera application program using DirectX SDK provided by Microsoft Corporation.
“32 bit” and “64 bit” are the way of a computer’s processor (also called CPU) processes information. The 64-bit version of Windows can process large capacity random access memory (RAM) more efficiently than 32 bit system.
In Windows XP, Vista, except for special ones, it was 32 bit. Therefore, the camera was only 32 bit compatible.
However, 32 bit and 64 bit is quite popular for Windows 7. Even if a 64bit signal is sent to a camera whose element itself corresponds only to 32bit, it does not move. It can not cope with software update. It is necessary to change the element itself to 64 bit.
USB microscope and USB camera which we currently sell are all 64bit compatible.
The continuous connection of still images taken at intervals is referred to as a time-lapse video. It is also known as slow-motion filming.
In contrast to slow-motion videos captured with a high-speed camera, which display footage in slow motion, time-lapse videos compress long-duration recordings into shorter playback times.
Consequently, unlike prolonged video recording, time-lapse videos require less storage capacity while enabling extended periods of capture.
Furthermore, since each frame is a still image, high-resolution filming is also achievable.
＜Reference＞ Below is a sample video of time-lapse found on YouTube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ_QqtXoyQw
(It can be applied to capturing the slow changes of various subjects, such as microbial movement and tissue culture.)
Capturing time-lapse videos can be easily done even without dedicated equipment.
(1) Many cameras come with built-in time-lapse shooting features, which allow for easy capturing.
(2) You can also download time-lapse compatible apps and use your smartphone for shooting.
(3) Perform interval shooting to capture still images. Then, utilize editing software to create a time-lapse video.
To create a time-lapse video using our company’s product, you can follow the method mentioned in (3) above.
To perform interval shooting with our USB camera, you will need to use our dedicated software, Hi TriggerQ, to capture the subject and save multiple still images.
|
＜Introducing Hi TriggerQ＞ ■Interval Shooting Capability You can set any desired time interval for interval shooting. (From 1 second to 99999 seconds) It allows convenient capture of still images, which is useful for creating time-lapse videos.
With our company’s USB camera, time-lapse shooting is possible for various applications, such as macro photography using a microscope, and monitoring purposes using regular fixed-focus lenses for line surveillance.
|
Firstly, we attempted interval shooting within our company premises using the aforementioned software.
We then used editing software to merge and create a video from the captured images.
There are various editing software options available, such as Windows Live Movie Maker. However, for this particular case, we tried using the free software called “Panolapse.”
Due to limitations in the free version, we reduced the resolution of the still images.
(These limitations can be lifted by purchasing a license.)
The downloaded files will be in the following format:
When launching Panolapse.exe, the following screen will appear:
Please follow these steps to import all the still images captured during the interval shooting into Panolapse:
By following these steps and clicking the preview button, your time-lapse video will be created.
Note:
Please note that the editing software mentioned (Panolapse) is not our company’s product. This is just one example provided for reference purposes.
When the colors of the subject and the camera are significantly different, white balance correction is necessary. White balance correction is a function that corrects the differences in color caused by the color temperature of the light source to make the colors closer to reality. For example, in images, under sunlight, colors tend to appear orange or yellowish, while under fluorescent light, they often appear green or cyan. This condition is corrected.
In consumer digital cameras, there are preset mechanisms such as automatic correction, daylight preset, and fluorescent light preset, making it easy to correct. However, industrial cameras have correction mechanisms that are more precise and can adapt to various light sources.”
Color temperature is a scale used to represent the color of light emitted by sources such as lighting, with the unit being Kelvin (K). For example, for white LEDs, products with various color temperature ranks are available. Even within the category of white, there are variations such as ‘bluish,’ ‘yellowish,’ or ‘reddish’.”
Place a white piece of paper or similar object to be captured in the entire image.
Reset brightness/contrast/gain to default settings and adjust the brightness using the lens aperture so that it does not saturate. Correcting the brightness becomes inaccurate if it saturates. It’s best to make it as bright as possible without saturation, but if you’re unsure whether it’s saturated, it’s better to make it slightly dimmer.
Click on the ‘One push’ button under White Balance in the camera properties or settings.
1) Reset all camera settings to default.
2) Capture a scene with as many whitish objects as possible in the environment. Adjust the brightness slightly dimmer using the lens aperture to avoid saturation.
3) Click on the ‘One push’ button under White Balance in the camera properties or settings. If the colors are not significantly different after clicking, it’s okay. If the colors still don’t match, proceed to step 4.
4) Capture the object you want to photograph and manually adjust the values related to Red/Blue/Green in the camera properties or settings to bring the colors closer to reality.
* Note: In the case of fluorescent lighting, the image may flicker, making it difficult to correct properly. In such cases, temporarily reduce the clock value to reduce flickering before making corrections.”
Match. The imaging device of our USB camera is 4: 3. Even if the PC screen is an aspect ratio monitor other than 4: 3, it will be a 4: 3 image in launch application.
Our USB cameras, the CS series, and GigE cameras, the EG series, are equipped with external signal input terminals, enabling image saving from external signals. (Note: Trigger cables are required for signal input.)
However, the standard bundled software does not have the capability to save images from external signals. Therefore, you would need to use optional software or utilize the included SDK to program and achieve this functionality.
There are two main types of optional software for saving still images through external signal input. The significant difference lies in their behavior during external signal standby: one type continuously displays the live feed, while the other type does not display the live feed during standby and only shows the most recent saved still image based on the signal received.
Continuous Live Display Type: HiTriggerQ
https://www.shodensha.com.vn/en/hi-triggerq/
The advantage of the continuous live display type is the ability to constantly monitor the video feed. Conversely, to view the saved images, you would need to access the designated folder as they are not displayed without accessing the storage location.
Recently Saved Still Image Storage Type: HiTriggerF Pro
https://www.shodensha.com.vn/en/hi-triggerf-pro/
If you are programming, please make use of the SDK located in the camera driver installation folder.
If you want to save images using an external trigger with a camera that does not have external signal input terminals, there is also a method available where you can use pre-existing input boxes or similar interfaces to call software shortcuts from an external source and initiate the image-saving process.
There are two ways to display two images (or four images) with a USB camera.
(1) Simple use multiple viewer software that can run at the same time
(2) Use dedicated software for displaying multiple screens.
1. Launch the viewer software at the same time.
It may be possible with free software.
However, there are cases where it can be done with the same camera and stability is lacking.
It is recommended that you use it after being tested.
(Depending on the software, multiple activation itself may be prohibited.)
Below is a simple trial of our company. (It does not guarantee the operation.)
We connected two cameras of cameras and launched free software called Amcap multiple times and tried to display it on two screens.
 |
 |
In 2-screen display, you can only operate the active screen (left screen in the above). Thus, you need to change the screen when you operate the menu.
2. Use dedicated multi-screen display software.
There is stability because it is software aimed at displaying multiple screens.
Also, since there is only one menu, operations such as saving etc are easy.
The following is a multi-screen display software produced by our company.
 Example of using 3MP color camera and 1.3MP monochrome camera. |
Multi screen trigger software TriggerQ |
– Control multiple cameras for dual-screen observation and image storage.
– It supports not only cameras of the same model but also different resolutions and combinations of color and monochrome cameras.
– Of course, it can also be used with a single camera!
– Save still images of up to four cameras using trigger signals while live monitoring the video (in uncompressed bitmap format/JPEG compressed format). (For more than five cameras, please inquire.)
– Camera video is always displayed live, allowing you to capture images while monitoring the footage.
– Snapshot function to capture still images at any time. You can also save still images by clicking the mouse, regardless of trigger signals. You can save still images on the spot anytime, such as reference images or scenes of interest.
– Interval shooting is possible.

Phần mềm chụp Trigger tính năng cao ( phiên bản nhiều camera) Hi TriggerF PRO4 |
Key Features of Hi TriggerF PRO4 / PRO8:
– Capture and pause still images (JPEG/BMP) using trigger signals, emulating the camera’s shutter release.
– Alignment and focusing can be done during live display.
– Supports up to 4/8 cameras (for more than that, please inquire!).
Comparision between the master image and real time image is also possible by using viewer software measure which is standard equipment of our USB Microscope. MeasurePRO is optional software.
In this case, the two screen display is a comparison between the master screen (stored still image) and real time image.
When comparing real-time images with 2 screens, the optional software automatic appearance inspection / dimension / angle measurement software EI 300, EI 310 makes its possible. You can connect multiple cameras and compare real-time images. (Separate software is required to start multiple cameras.)
Please contact technical support for details.
There are EI300, EI310 of automatic visual inspection/dimension/angle measurement software. These are the software that allow multiple cameras to move at the same time and display real time screen on a PC
 |
Automatic visual inspection / dimension / angle measurement software |
EI300, EI310 can be downloaded free. Please contact Technical Advisor for more details
It is possible but also conditional.
It is conditional on the still picture shot by another company’s USB microscope that the object which becomes distance reference is reflected. It is possible to calibrate and measure it. By contrast, if there is nothing to be the reference of the distance, it will be difficult to calibrate because calibration is difficult.
Since our software can read still image data in JPG, BMP format. The measurement is possible if it meets the above conditions.
Focus synthesis is possible when using software.
