AVT - Custom Solutions
Sometimes applications are so specific that their requirements cannot be met by an off-the-shelf camera. At Allied Vision, we want you to find the best camera solution for your need. That is why we have developed three levels of customization for you.
The Alvium camera platform offers a variety of hardware options for Alvium GigE Vision, 5GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, and CSI-2 cameras. In addition to the wide choice of camera models the Alvium Modular Concept includes:
- Filter options (IR cut filter)
- Sensors without cover glass (Taped Cover Glass, Removed Cover Glass)
- Black housing
The versatile Manta cameras include optional alternative designs or components as part of the Allied Vision Modular Concept.
- Angled-head orientations
- medical housing
- board-level versions
- optical filters
- removed sensor cover glass
You would be surprised that the most common modifications you may be thinking of have already been anticipated. That means they are available at affordable prices and within short delays.

Adapting our cameras to your needs
Even if your specifications cannot be met using the Allied Vision Modular Concept, our engineers make sure the camera adapts to your application. Tell us the hardware or firmware modifications you need – whether a special housing, a different interface architecture, specific triggering functionalities or whatever specific requirements you may have. Modifying cameras is what Allied Vision started from back in the 1990's. We have that know-how in our genes!
Your tailor-made camera
If what you need is to design your own camera from scratch, Allied Vision is your partner of choice. Our R&D departments in Germany and Canada are experienced in managing complex development projects for demanding OEM customers worldwide. Applications include 3D scanning, automotive manufacturing, medical equipment and many more.

Focus recommends TRL Calibration Kits for applications such as load pull & noise parameters. Due to high reflection and low loss, tuner S-parameter measurements represent a challenge for VNA’s, because of error term determination and coupler directivity. Long experience has taught us not to rely on other calibration techniques than TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line). The popular SOLT technique is conditionally useable, but not guaranteed, up to 4GHz. The much convenient ECal method has provided questionable and inconsistent results. Our Customers are advised to be very careful with VNA calibrations, because the whole measured data depends on that.
Because of this, and to save our customers time and doubt, Focus has developed and offers a set of precise and reliable TRL calibration kits from 0.03 to 110 GHz with the following connector types: 7/16, N, APC-7, 3.5mm, 2.9mm, 2.4mm, 1.85mm, WR-15, WR-10. Our calibration kits are compatible with all commercial network analyzers.
