Spark Series
SP-12000C-CXP4
12-megapixel industrial camera

The SP-12000C-CXP4 provides 12-megapixel color resolution at a blazing fast 189 frames per second – the fastest 12-megapixel camera in the industry. Built around the CMOSIS CMV12000 CMOS imager, it is capable of handling the most demanding of high performance machine vision applications.

Maximum throughput

Delivering 4096 x 3072 pixels at up to 189 frames per second, the SP-12000-CXP4’s combination of speed and resolution makes it ideal for high performance inspection applications where detailed analyses are required across a wide area.

Excellent image quality – monochrome or color

Available in monochrome or color models, the SP-12000-CXP4 features true correlated double sampling (CDS) for outstanding image quality with high pixel uniformity.

Adapts to changing light conditions

The SP-12000-CXP4 handles difficult lighting situations with ease - indoors or out – thanks to a built-in high dynamic range mode (monochrome) and JAI’s Auto Level Control (ALC) function, which links auto shutter and auto gain for smart exposure control under any condition.

MP-42 Tripod Mounting Plate

Tripod adapter features mounting holes to fit spacing on Spark Series and (discontinued) Elite Series housings. Standard 1/4-20 attachment to tripods. Includes M3 screws (Depth 5). Only use the supplied screws or other screws having the proper length. Using longer screws can damage internal circuit boards.

PC-12P Hirose 12-pin Connector

The HR10A-10P-12S is a universal connector used for power and control signals for many JAI cameras. The connector is a female plug, with sockets, that mates to the connector on the back of the camera. It has soldering cups for easy assembly of custom cables.

12P-02S Power Cable

This cable features flying leads on one end and a Hirose 12-pin connector on the other wired to match the pinout of JAI cameras with 12-pin connectors. The flying leads enable power to be supplied via two of the Hirose pins, while the remaining wires/pins can be utilized to access various I/O functions of JAI cameras (see individual camera datasheets/manuals for functions accessible through the Hirose connectors).

The cables can be used with JAI’s own “flying leads” power supplies, or with third-party or custom power supply systems.

10P-10M-AUX Auxiliary TTL cable

The 10P-10M-AUX is 10-meter cable for JAI cameras equipped with a 10-pin Hirose “auxiliary” connector. The plug at one end of the cable connects to the 10-pin connector on the back of the JAI camera. Flying leads at the other end of the cable can be used to send/receive TTL signals to/from specific pins on the auxiliary connector. Not all I/O functions may be supported depending on the pinout of each camera model. Check the pinout carefully or consult with JAI before purchasing.

Here are a few applications where Spark Series cameras are especially suitable

Spark Series cameras are the perfect starting point for a wide range of machine vision, entertainment, and mapping applications.

Electronics inspection

Verification of circuit layouts and coatings, ball grid array inspection, component positioning, solder paste quality, dimensional accuracy, pick & place applications, and more.

Pharmaceuticals

High speed Spark Series cameras perform detailed inspection of pills, packages, and other pharmaceutical products while maintaining maximum throughput.

Mapping and aerial imaging

Cameras mounted on aircraft, satellites, or ground vehicles capture images to help create maps, analyze terrain, or build street views.

Inventory robotics

Large fields-of-view with high levels of detail are needed to scan shelves for products and their associated identification codes.

Metrology

Many types of industrial parts must be carefully measured to ensure conformance to system requirements. High resolution images enable higher precision on critical measurements.

Automotive spray finish

High speed, high resolution systems identify surface imperfections finer than a grain of salt in final vehicle assembly, to cue operators where to polish and buff out imperfections.
