The iQ-Chart Box is a light source that has a compact design with built-in iQ-LED V2 for illuminating size A460 and A280 reflective test charts. Each light is aligned and fixed to ensure test charts are always homogeneously illuminated.
iQ-LED V2 technology is a light source that is capable of generating custom spectra to replicate various light sources in a test lab environment. The iQ-Chart Box has eight iQ-LED V2 elements built into it that each use 20 LED-channels to recreate almost any light spectrum for your camera testing.
The iQ-Chart Box is designed with small test labs in mind. Now, instead of having a full chart mount and two or more free standing lights to illuminate the test chart, you can have the same illumination features all inside the box.
The iQ-Chart Box uses a mini-spectrometer with a spectral range of 350 – 860 nm to ensure better spectral resolution and higher sensitivity of the iQ-LED lights.
iQ-LED control software is provided with the iQ-Chart Box. An iQ-LED API is also available as an option for integration into your custom design.
iQ-Chart Box - Custom Setups
As a custom setup, you can also choose to have the iQ-Chart Box delivered without a spectrometer* and instead have a device with preconfigured illuminants. These illuminants must be individually requested (up to 40) and programmed into your device before delivery.
This possibility significantly reduces the total cost of the product and is an excellent option for new or smaller test labs looking to upgrade their image quality testing.
Please contact our sales department to get started with a custom product.
*A spectrometer can be purchased at a later date if desired.
