The MkII Linescan Camera is the latest version of the linescan camera currently in use with the Helitune product line. This version addresses component obsolescence and provides a camera that is EMC compliant to Def Stan 59-41 with improved environmental resistance to ingress, temperature, shock and vibration.
This version incorporates a total redesign of the camera ergonomics. This has produced a camera that is both lighter and easier for the operator to use. The rear face has been angled to make viewing of the tracking LED’s easier and line of sight target tags have been added to aid with the rotor tip line up.

The camera electronics utilise the latest in CCD and processing technology. This has provided the following benefits:
-
more reponsive in low light and "blue sky"conditions
-
10 bit processing with latest DSP
-
data acquired as 1024 level grey scale image
-
22 degree window hardware capability, firmware currently supports 7 degrees

The new software design now provides an easy upgrade path either via the RT5 JS+ hardware or, for RT2000 users, by a simple DCU hardware upgrade.
Improved mounting hole positions
Algorithm improvements
Grey scale processing for improved low light performance
Background subtraction for clearer blade images
Smoothing and edge detection algorithms for blade tip enhancements
