All components of the new camera are installed on a board measuring 40 x 120 mm, which makes it easy to integrate the unit into a wide range of applications. The VCSBC4012 features a CMOS sensor with a freely programmable resolution up to 2,592 x 1,944 pixels.

A key component is a 400 MHz processor from Texas Instruments with a 3,200 MIPS computing power. At full resolution, the frame rate is 11.6 frames per second. VGA skipping allows for a maximum frame rate of 102 fps. The VCSBC4012 comes with 64 MB DRAM for program and data storage. An Ethernet interface allows for integration into existing automation environments. Two digital inputs and four outputs (open collector) are additionally available.

The VCSBC4012 smart camera, which is available as a color or black-and-white model, is suitable for use in low-light conditions and an electronic rolling shutter ensures short exposure times.
