ZC-203: 2.0 Megapixel USB 2.0 Digital Video Camera
A compact, scientific quality camera for machine vision or microscopy, the ZC203 is fully DirectShow® compliant and installs without drivers on Windows (32 and 64 bit) and Macintosh Snow Leopard computers. The 1600 x 1200 pixel array updates at 15 frames/sec. (30 frames/sec. at 640 x 480 pixels.)
A single cable simplifies connecting the camera to any desktop or laptop computer with a USB 2.0 port. Since the ZC203 is fully powered from the USB 2.0 port, it is the perfect choice for mobile imaging applications.
The ZC203 camera includes Video ToolBox Pro software, which provides full control over the camera, an easy-to-use interface for image capture, and advanced labeling, annotation and measurement features. An optional programmers DLL allows for remote software control in Basic or C/ C++, as well as National Instruments’ LabVIEW®.
