Point Grey increases CCD sensitivity

Point Grey’s new addition to its Grasshopper3 camera family, the Grasshopper3 GS3-U3-28S5, features high quality, high resolution CCD sensors with a USB 3.0 interface. The new camera models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the fast and highly sensitive Sony ICX674, a 2/3” CCD featuring 4.54 micron square pixels and capable of sending 1932 x 1452 images at 26 FPS. The ICX674 sensor supports high definition (HD) 1080p30 imaging and uses Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology to improve quantum effi

541 Point Grey’s new addition to its Grasshopper3 camera family, the Grasshopper3 GS3-U3-28S5, features high quality, high resolution CCD sensors with a USB 3.0 interface.

The new camera models are based on colour and monochrome versions of the fast and highly sensitive 576 Sony ICX674, a 2/3” CCD featuring 4.54 micron square pixels and capable of sending 1932 x 1452 images at 26 FPS. The ICX674 sensor supports high definition (HD) 1080p30 imaging and uses Sony’s EXview HAD CCD II technology to improve quantum efficiency, reduce smear, and increase sensitivity, including into the near infrared.

Like all Point Grey USB 3.0 cameras, the Grasshopper3 is built on an FPGA and frame buffer-based architecture to provide optimal reliability, a rich set of features, and a full image processing pipeline including color interpolation, look up table, gamma correction and pixel binning.
