Latest Sony sensors for Matrix Vision cameras

Matrix Vision is to incorporate Sony’s forthcoming global shutter CMOS sensors, the 1/1.8-inch IMX250 and 2/3-inch IMX252, into its mvBlueCOUGAR-XD Dual-GigE and mvBlueFOX3-2 USB3 Vision camera ranges. Initially the 3.2 megapixel IMX252 will be available as the mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104h and mvBlueFOX3-2032, with the 5.1 megapixel IMX250 (mvBlueCOUGAR-XD105a and) mvBlueFOX3-2051 models available early next year.

7792 Matrix Vision is to incorporate 576 Sony’s forthcoming global shutter CMOS sensors, the 1/1.8-inch IMX250 and 2/3-inch IMX252, into its mvBlueCOUGAR-XD Dual-GigE and mvBlueFOX3-2 USB3 Vision camera ranges. Initially the 3.2 megapixel IMX252 will be available as the mvBlueCOUGAR-XD104h and mvBlueFOX3-2032, with the 5.1 megapixel IMX250 (mvBlueCOUGAR-XD105a and) mvBlueFOX3-2051 models available early next year.

The pixel size in both sensors has been reduced to 3.45 µm and when used in conjunction with C-mount lenses, the increased pixel density provides higher resolution images when compared with the IMX174 and IMX249 sensors. Decreased image noise keeps the dynamic range at levels above 71dB for improved image quality, higher resolution and an increased image refresh rate.

A lower frame rate version, promised by SONY, will follow in the mvBlueCOUGAR-X and mvBlueFOX3-2 models.

  • Motorised lens control for Prosilica
    July 25, 2012
    Prosilica's 35mm format GigE cameras, the 11 megapixel GE4000 and the 16 Megapixel GE4900, are normally configured to accept F-mount lenses, but using a Birger adaptor they can accept Canon EF lenses. The Birger adaptor is a device which allows a wide range of off-the-shelf Canon EF lenses to be mounted on the GE4000 and GE4900 bringing the added benefit of motorised lens control for functions such as iris and focus control to large-format industrial cameras. The lens control functions are facilitated by co

  • Swedish drivers support speed cameras

    In sharp contrast to many other countries drivers in Sweden support speed cameras and the planned expansion of the automated enforcement network. Sweden is embarking on a massive expansion of its speed camera network and is doing so with both a very high level of public acceptance and without its drivers feeling persecuted; a feat the administrations in many other countries would like to emulate. So how did this envious state of affairs come about? Magnus Ferlander director of business development and ma
