More

Manta G-917 is a 9.2 megapixel machine vision camera with a GigE compliant Gigabit Ethernet port and Hirose I/O port. Manta G-917 incorporates the high quality Type 1 (15.972 mm diagonal) Sony ICX814 CCD sensor with EXview HAD II technology. This sensor is distinguished by excellent image quality and a high resolution. At full resolution, this camera runs 10.1 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible.

Manta is one of Allied Vision's versatile GigE Vision cameras with a wide range of features. Particular highlights are the three look-up tables, sophisticated color correction capabilities, a robust metal housing, and many modular options. By default monochrome models ship with B 270 ASG protection glass and color models ship with a Type Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter.

Hardware options

Various lens mounts: Select between C-Mount, CS-Mount, or M12-Mount (adapter)
Various optical filters: Select between B 270 ASG protection glass and filter types: Jenofilt 217 IR cut filter, Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter, RG715 IR pass filter, or RG830 IR pass filter.
Available with Power over Ethernet compliant interface
Available with white medical design

See the Modular Concept for lens mount, optical filters, case design, and other modular options. See the Customization and OEM Solutions webpage for additional options.
