MCA Series - High Quality Multi-Spectral Imaging
Available in versions up to 6 channels
The newly re-engineered MCA is ready for any assignment
with unprecedented image quality, flexibility and control
The MCA (Multiple Camera Array) Series cameras consist of up to six sensor channels of 10 bit SXGA (1.3 megapixel) data, an image large enough to capture 130 hectares at 1 meter resolution, in one shot! Each channel has it's own detector/bandpass filter/lens mounted in a common, factory aligned optical block. Fast USB interface, non-volatile image storage on standard CompactFlash cards. Host software supplied with the camera provides full camera control and image management. The filter passbands are customer designated at time of order and easily field replaceable using standard 25mm spectrometer filters. The system can be connected to an external GPS receiver speaking NMEA sentences, camera coordinates at capture time are then attached to the image data and later recovered using PixelWrench2.
Due to it's specialized nature, the MCA is built to order. Contact us for more information regarding configuration options and pricing.
