Hi folks, I'd like to let you know about some new 3D video cameras available from StereoImaging Corp. We currently make two models, one is a "portrait" camera and one is a microscope camera. These cameras are mostly aimed at the industrial market, since they are a bit pricey for home use($3250-$3500). They both produce full motion video output. Note that the microscope camera is a microscope in itself, not an attachment for a standard optical microscope. The cameras are true 3d in that they have two image sensors and two optical paths, no mirrors or shutters here! The cameras have fixed alignment so you don't have to worry about giving people headaches from alignment drift of a typical setup. Both cameras have about a 2x2 inch profile, with a depth of 2 inches for the portrait and 4 inches for the microscope. The cameras are available in NTSC or PAL output with either S-video or composite (RCA) video connectors. There are three outputs on each camera, full left channel, full right channel, and field sequential interlaced L/R. If you have any display that takes field sequential input (NuVision, iGlasses) you can hook the camera directly to the display. You can record the field sequential output on a standard VCR. Yes, the field sequential is only 60 Hz (50 Hz PAL), but you can use the two separate outputs if you want to mux to 100-120 Hz. I'd be happy to answer any questions that people have about the cameras, technology, or applications. You can find the best data on our web site (www.stereoimaging.com). The site includes photos of the cameras, prices, and specifications. We're working on getting some 3d images onto the site. Note that our cameras were just reviewed in an article in the July 2001 Vision Systems Design magazine (see article). ---Phil |
