CCD improves camera's quantum efficiency
Signalling an expansion of the Grasshopper3 GigE Vision PoE camera line, Point Grey has released a 9.1MP CCD (Charge Couple Device) model. The Grasshopper3 GS3-PGE-91S6 model is based on colour and monochrome versions of the 1” Sony ICX814 global shutter CCD sensor, which features 3.69µm pixels and 3376x2704 pixel resolution.
Improving quantum efficiency and near infrared response, the device utilises Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II pixel architecture. Featuring high resolution CCD image quality, a high dynamic range and a GigE interface, the GS3-PGE-91S6 is particularly suitable for flat panel inspection, 3D measurement, ophthalmology, life sciences and intelligent traffic systems.
“With the introduction of the GS3-PGE-91S6 model the Grasshopper3 GigE PoE family continues to grow with more high performance sensor offerings,” says Michael Gibbons, Director of Sales and Marketing, Point Grey. “Customers with applications that require longer cable distances up to 100m now have more camera models to choose from. In addition, this model offers a more competitive price compared to other competing products using the same sensor.”
The device is available now and priced at $3,495/€2,695.
