MDC3 Digital Camera

The ideal answer to all lighting conditions

Best HD image quality in any lighting situation

The smart algorithm ensures rapid readjustment for light-dark transitions without flutter. The integrated high-performance imager also ensures good visibility in very dark environments with a low-light sensitivity of 1 millilux - all in HD quality with a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels.

Thanks to its adaptability in constantly changing light conditions, the camera is the ideal solution for mobile applications.

The HDR-eye for your machine

Thanks to its High Dynamic Range (HDR) the MDC3 can take several pictures simultaneously at different brightness levels and combine them into the ideal image. The camera can then deliver up to 40 perfectly-presented high-contrast images per second.

What is more, the MDC3 has a high contrast range of 132 dB, offering you lots of important image details on the monitor, for greater efficiency and work safety.

Further features

Several cameras in series

Integrated Ethernet switch

Second Ethernet connection thanks to the integrated switch: Link up as many cameras as you like in series (daisy chain) via just one connection to the machine's control system. This saves on any cost-intensive additional switch and streamlines the wiring.

IP multicasting

Broadcasting a video on several screens

Multicasting allows users to view the same video stream on multiple monitors simultaneously. It's ideal for observing and monitoring operations from multiple locations. What's more, replication of data packets via a distributor ensures a limited overall data volume, reducing the load on the network infrastructure.

Camera-monitor system

Fast image delivery

The MDC3 has a very low latency. It transmits the captured image to the interface in less than 75 milliseconds. This makes it possible to implement an ISO 16001-compliant camera-monitor system, for example in conjunction with Liebherr's DC5 display controller.

Customer references

Every day the MDC3 proves its reliability and robustness in challenging industries, such as construction machinery, agriculture or mining.
