Allied Vision launch Manta Models with second gen Sony IMX CMOS sensor

Allied Vision has expanded its Manta camera offering with two new models which incorporate second-generation Sony IMX complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensors with global shutter pixel technology. The devices are ideally suited for industrial applications that require accurate imaging of fast-moving objects. The Manta G-158 incorporates the IMX273 sensor and is said to offer a resolution of 1.58 megapixels and a frame rate of 75.3 fps at full resolution. In addition, Manta G-040 is equipped with

Allied Vision has expanded its Manta camera offering with two new models which incorporate second-generation Sony IMX complementary metal oxide semiconductor sensors with global shutter pixel technology. The devices are ideally suited for industrial applications that require accurate imaging of fast-moving objects.


The Manta G-158 incorporates the IMX273 sensor and is said to offer a resolution of 1.58 megapixels and a frame rate of 75.3 fps at full resolution. In addition, Manta G-040 is equipped with the IMX287 sensor with the intention of providing a resolution of 0.40 Megapixels and a frame rate of 286 fps at full resolution.

Both models come with the Trigger over Ethernet Action Commands feature, enabling them to be triggered via their Power over Ethernet connection. It allows users to realise single cable solutions with data, power and trigger capabilities.

These cameras are available in colour and monochrome variants.

    David Crawford looks at new technologies to cope with the age-old problem of driving in bad weather. On the 10-year average, between 2005 and 2014 bad weather contributed to more than 1.5 million vehicle crashes in the US each year, resulting in more than 800,000 injuries and 7,400 deaths. These were the findings of analysis by Booz Allen Hamilton of NHTSA data which concluded that the loss of life, hospital treatment and damage to assets costs an annual average of $42bn.
