Raytec have launched PULSESTAR, a new range of high-intensity pulsed LED illuminators designed for automatic number plate or licence plate recognition (ANPR/LPR) and machine vision applications.
The products deliver on-demand lighting to illuminate fast moving objects. The lighting pulse of the illuminator can be synchronised with the camera shutter via a TTL input to ensure maximum light levels precisely when necessary. Pulsed LED delivers uplifts in illuminator performance compared to equivalent non-pulsed illuminators, the makers say, when used with fast shutter cameras; and pulsing also increases the lifetime of the LED and saves on energy.
Featuring up to 880W of lighting drive power and using PLATINUM Elite twin-core SMT LEDs with an interchangeable lensing system, the illuminators deliver on scene for image capture from image analysis and LPR systems. Combining Raytec’s pulsed technology and intelligently managed high-intensity LEDs in an durable build, PULSESTAR illuminators are long-life and low maintenance, the product firm adds.
David Lambert, Managing Director (Joint) says: “Raytec have over a decade’s experience in supporting ANPR/LPR installations with LED lighting globally. Built on this expertise we are proud to introduce the PULSESTAR range which addresses a void in the market for purpose-designed pulsed LED lighting for transport and machine vision applications.”
The product series is available as a full range of Infra-Red and White-Light pulsed LED illuminators. Visit www.rayteccctv.com.
