Five lenses for M72 area sensors

A wide range of lenses with an M72 thread is already available on the market. For line scan cameras we had first contact with these huge lenses. Now the SHR has a midd format sensor. 47 million good reasons to review matching optic systems.

With the HT-series ,Schneider Kreuznach Filter presents a new generation of band-pass and long-pass filters. Named “High Transmission” (HT), these filters appeal to the machine vision system designer who greatly values its steep edges.

Warranty Expired

The KAI11040 was one of the first CCD sensors we used in the high resolution HR-series. The owner of one of the first 11 Megapixel cameras we delivered 10 years ago recently contacted us. The camera has been in continuous use for 10 years without any servicing. The customer reported a problem with horizontal stripes in the image. Our first fault hypothesis was a faulty A/D converter...

GenICam 3.0 - Updates and backwards compatibility

Making use of GenICam 3.0 in your applications and known potential stumbling blocks for backwards compatibility.

The Sony CCD situation, based the status as of 17th of April 2015:

Sony intends to cease production of CCD sensor wafers by 2017. In parallel, major investments are being made in the expansion of the CMOS production capability. Forecasted deliveries for sensors primarily used in machine vision products (Sony’s Category “A”) will be delivered until 2026. CCD sensors for non-machine vision products, e.g. interlaced sensors related to classical TV standards, will be, subject to market demand, produced until 2020. Sony will gather non-binding forecasts by March 2016 via its sales channels SVS-VISTEK will be in a position to maintain deliveries until 2026, based on customer specific supply agreements. This takes us very far out in the future!

Sony - Exmor & Pregius - Global shutter CMOS Sensor - IMX174

Get the background story, on why there is so much talk about these sensors. Read more about the unique features of the Exmor^™ and Pregius^™ devices. See the technology innovations explained in a cross-section diagram and learn what other chip manufacturers have done to defeat noise in their CMOS sensors.

Exview HAD II - greater than 1000 mV pro 1 µm²

We would like to take a moment to give you an update on the latest improvements found in HAD II. EXview HAD II^™ provides higher saturation signal level, increased signal output level, reduced smear and noise with a typical sensitivity rated at 1000 mV/µm2 by Sony. Our own evaluation confirmed the improvements in this new CCD sensor.

The new SVCam-EXO series from SVS-VISTEK - The multi-platform

Multi Sensor, Multi-Interface, Multi-Feature -Housing At the Vision 2014 SVS-VISTEK showcased a new versatile camera series in a “classic“ 50x50 design. The EXO allows system integrators to easily adapt a solution to varying conditions and requirements. Ease of integration scalability, without sacrificing functionality, was the design objective of the EXO. The precision-machined monocoque style aluminium body houses a complete offering of sensor and interface combinations. You have a wide choice of current CMOS and CCD sensors, such as the recently released Sony IMX174 CMOS (2.3MP), offering up to 73dB dynamic range, or high-end CCDs ICX674 (3MP), ICX694 (6MP), ICX814 (9MP) and ICX834 (12MP) and the CMOSIS CV4000 (4MP).
