MCA Series - High Quality Multi-Spectral Imaging
Mini MCA
Available in versions up to 6 channels.
The newly re-engineered lightweight Mini MCA is ready for any
assignment
with unprecedented image quality, flexibility and control.
The Mini MCA is newly redesigned lightweight and more compact version of our famous MCA (Multiple Camera Array) camera.The Mini MCA 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 Compact Flash cards. PixelWrech2 host software supplied with the camera provides full camera control and image management. The filter pass bands are customer designated at time of order and are easily field replaceable using standard 25 mm 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 the PixelWrench2 software.
The new Mini MCA is also a modular system that allows the end user to combine and sync multiple Mini MCA units together to achieve 12, 18 and even 24 spectral channels at once!
Due to it's specialized nature, the Mini MCA is built to order. Please contact us for more information regarding configuration options and pricing.
