Sharpness Indicator

With the Sharpness Indicator, focusing your lens becomes a piece of cake! Simply define the area of interest you want to focus your lens on. Cycle through the entire focus range of your lens by turning the focus ring to its minimum and maximum positions, and find the perfect focus for your lens.

GigE Action Commands made easy

Vignetting Correction

With the Vignetting Correction camera feature and the pylon Viewer you can make use of smaller size and low-cost lenses and still avoid vignetting artefacts. Simply let the pylon Viewer calculate the correction values and save them in the camera. The camera will then apply the correction values to every image while maintaining its real-time functionality while still providing maximum performance to your application.

Note: The Vignetting Correction feature is available on selected ace U and ace L camera models only.

Color Calibrator for MED ace cameras

True color reproduction is crucial in a variety of applications, but remain challenging for vision developers due to complex configuration of camera parameters. The pylon Viewer’s Color Calibrator allows for a quick and easy-to-use color calibration of the camera for a given light setting.
