JAI has introduced the SP-12401-USB, a new 12.4-megapixel camera in its Spark Series of high resolution area scan cameras. Two models are offered – a monochrome model (SP-12401M-USB) and a color model (SP-12401C-USB). Both models are built around the Sony PregiusTM IMX304 CMOS imager, which features 3.45-micron pixels and a dark noise rating of less than 2.5 electrons for excellent image quality even under low light conditions.
The cameras are equipped with a standard USB3 Vision interface capable of running at 23.4 frames per second for 8-bit monochrome or raw Bayer images at full resolution (4112 x 3008 for monochrome and 4088 x 3000 for color). Power and triggering can be supplied via a separate 12-pin connector.
