1 About the Camera
1.1 General
The Cheetah C2020, C2420, C2420Z, C4020, and C4120 CMOS cameras feature advanced
Sony Pregius CMOS image sensors, global shutter technology, and Camera Link interface
to produce high quality images with fast frame rates in a small form factor for industrial
application. The cameras ship with Imperx CamConfig programming software featuring an
easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).
The cameras in this manual support Camera Link Base, Medium, and Full connectivity for
reliability and high frame rates. Power over Camera Link (PoCL) capability is provided to
minimize cabling. Camera Link cameras require a frame grabber on the computer for
capturing individual frames from the camera’s video stream.
The manual describes the cameras listed in the following table.
The C2020, C2420, C2420Z, C4020, and C4120 are small profile, progressive scan digital
cameras. They are fully programmable and field upgradeable. The cameras feature a built-
in image-processing engine, low power consumption, low noise, and high dynamic range
(71 dB). The cameras provide several trigger modes and output strobes allowing you to
synchronize the image capture of one or more cameras to an external event. They also
provide Area of Interest (AOI) and programmable look-up tables (LUT).
The C2420Z camera features a micro-polarized CMOS sensor. The sensor has
a 2x2 pixel sub-array where each pixel within the sub-array blocks a different polarization
filter angle (0, 45, 90 or 135 degrees). The camera’s 2462 x 2056 resolution provides
resolution of 1232 x 1028 per polarization angle.
