XIMEA has announced new full speed models with exceptional Sony CMOS Pregius™ S sensors. Outstanding properties of the next evolution of Sony CMOS sensors include the small pixel size in combination with BSI - backside illumination technology. Small pixels mean that sensors with a high resolution of 24.5 Mpix can stay very compact contributing to closer proximity for multi-camera setups.
The backside illumination compensates for the small pixel and even improves the standard parameters, offering low noise, high dynamic range, and sensitivity. The new technology outperforms the low-noise values of CCD sensors at the same time providing high-speed bandwidth with a Global shutter. The pixel size of 2.74 µm helps to use C-mount lenses thus improving the cost-effectivity and enabling miniature size for mobile and multiple camera systems.
