16MP Blackfly S breaks through GigE barriers

The 16 MP Sony IMX542 (Pregius S series) features back-illuminated sensor pixel (BSI) technology, significantly improved quantum efficiency (QE), reduced pixel sizes, and enables the use of less expensive and more compact optics.

These new Blackfly S cameras also take advantage of our new Lossless Compression feature, delivering up to 60% higher frame rates without compromising on image quality. This value driven combination enables further cost reductions by replacing several low-resolution cameras with a single unit, delivering higher frame rates, lower bandwidth utilisation and lower lighting system requirements.

These new Blackfly S global shutter cameras with BSI technology are suitable for a range of applications – from PCB and semiconductor inspections to metrology and scientific research among several others. Read along for more detailed specs, pricing and to consult a specialist about your project requirements.

• 16 MP global shutter enables precise measurement of large objects.
• Lossless Compression enables 60% higher FPS (from 7FPS to 12 FPS @ full resolution).
• High QE and low noise yield a low Absolute Sensitivity Threshold (4.1 photon AST).
• Superior quantum efficiency (69% QE @ 525nm).
• Excellent low-light performance (2.34 e- read noise).
• BSI pixels enable less expensive, more compact optics.
• High sensitivity (High QE and Low AST) reduces lighting system requirements.
• Replace multiple low-resolution cameras with this single high-resolution camera.
