With paces of up to 751 fps and the most recent CMOS sensors of the Sony Pregius and Sony STARVIS lines just as PYTHON sensors from ON Semiconductor, the expert U speaks to the following development of the pro in the regions of sensor innovation and firmware highlights.
Since the discontinuation of Sony’s CCD sensors, users have often been faced with the challenge of selecting suitable successor models for their image processing systems. As one of the leading experts in switching from CCD to CMOS, Basler offers a broad portfolio of high-performance CMOS cameras that are ideally suited as replacements for older CCD systems. So far, however, there have only been approximate alternatives for the ICX618 sensor.
With our new, patent-pending algorithm, the sensor characteristics of the Sony ICX618 can be reproduced 1:1 without distorting the EMVA values of the camera. Thus, the new ace U acA640-121gm behaves optically exactly like the ace classic acA640-120gm based on the CCD sensor ICX618.The camera benefits from the excellent image quality of the CMOS sensors from Sony’s second Pregius generation. Users can therefore retain their optical design or system and thus reduce costs. At the same time, the replacement camera ensures long-term availability.
