ZC-305: 3.1 Megapixel USB 2.0 Digital Video Camera
An ultra-compact, scientific quality camera for machine vision or microscopy, the ZC-305 is fully DirectShow and TWAIN compliant so it is compatible with the hundreds of programs which already support these popular standards.
The 2048 x 1536 pixel array updates at 6 frames/sec (20 frames/sec. at 1024 x 768 pixels). A single cable simplifies connecting the camera to any desktop or laptop computer with a USB 2.0 port. Since the ZC-305 is fully powered from the USB 2.0 port, it is the perfect choice for mobile imaging applications.
The ZC-305 camera includes Video ToolBox software, which provides full control over the camera, an easy-to-use interface for image capture, and advanced labeling, annotation and measurement features. Additional software provides advanced control of the exposure, including automatic or manual control of gain and exposure, white balance, and on-chip integration for low-light imaging.
