The last-time-buy period for all CCD-based sensors from Sony is coming to an end. As a result, SVS-Vistek will formally discontinue the camera models associated with the ICX sensors. The affected cameras include all models of the ECO series. A list of all affected cameras can be found here.
For customers who wish to continue using CCD-based designs, SVS-Vistek has initiated a Last-Time-Buy (LTB) period, effective immediately, followed by a subsequent Last-Time-Delivery (LTD) period. This allows our customers to continue to produce and sell their CCD-based products, ensuring reliable delivery. Orders can be placed until August 31, 2024 (Last-Time-Buy). SVS-Vistek will then offer delivery of LTB cameras until August 31, 2026 (Last-Time-Delivery). We advise our customers individually and try to find the best solution together.
Transition from CCD to CMOS sensors
The camera portfolio of SVS-Vistek or one of the sister companies of TKH Vision includes a wide range of cameras that are ideally suited to replace the existing CCD-based systems.
Thorsten Schmidt, CPO at SVS-Vistek emphasizes: "Regardless of whether or when our customers want to switch from CCD to CMOS, SVS-Vistek is a reliable partner and through optimal consulting we ensure that our customers' systems and products can continue to be marketed in the best possible way in the future."
