The LumiCam 1300 imaging photometer and colorimeter captures complex luminance and color distributions in an instant. A monochrome version of the camera is available for applications requiring luminance measurements without color information. The LumiCam 1300 is based on the Interline CCD sensor ICX-285 from Sony, offering an exceptional signal to noise ratio, low smear and very low blooming. A multi-exposure mode provides up to 6 orders of magnitude of dynamic range in a single image, with an absolute measurement range covering 0.0001 to 100,000 cd/m2. Higher luminance values are achievable through the use of optional optical density filters. (PRNewsFoto/Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc.) (PRNewsFoto/KONICA MINOLTA SENSING AMERIC___)

The LumiCam 1300 luminance and colorimetry camera is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers and OEM customers with taking measurements of displays, LED indicator lamps, and multifunction information displays. The high-resolution CCD image sensor allows complex luminance distributions to be measured within seconds.

The LumiCam benefits can be summarized as follows:

Substantial time-savings with simultaneous capture of a large number of measurements in a single image
Image-processing functions integrated in the software permit automated methods of analysis, e.g. calculation of homogeneity or contrast
Short measurement cycles and simple setup of intuitive pass/fail criteria for use in production environments

"Our new partnership with Instrument Systems has allowed us to expand our target market with a diverse range of measurement instruments for testing flat panel displays, mobile appliances, multifunction panels and graphics. The LumiCam 1300 is the perfect extension to the Konica Minolta light and display measurement portfolio of products," said Mark Lyon, Konica Minolta Sensing Midwest Regional Sales Manager, Radiometric Products. "It offers engineers a competitive advantage with its speed, advanced software, and precise measurements in R&D environments."

Konica Minolta Sensing Americas will co-exhibit with Instrument Systems at Strategies in Light from February 25-27 in Santa Clara, California at booth 310 where the companies will discuss their new partnership in North America and advanced product portfolio. In addition to the LumiCam 1300, Konica Minolta Sensing Americas distributes a full line of Instrument Systems products, software, and accessories.
