ZC-203: 2.0 Megapixel USB 2.0 Digital Video Camera

A compact, scientific quality camera for machine vision or microscopy, the ZC-203 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 ZC-203 is fully powered from the USB 2.0 port, it is the perfect choice for mobile imaging applications.


The ZC-203 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®.
