Premier launches Cygnet full HD CMOS camera

Premier Electronics’ Cygnet 17mm (2/3-inch) sCMOS camera provides full HD up to 60Hz. The use of Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology allows it to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and a large field of view. The 2.1MP Scientific CMOS sensor is said to provide ultra sharp image resolution with a quantum efficiency of over 63% in the visible spectrum (at 500nm) and greater than 34% with inferred (at 850nm) and is availab

Premier Electronics' Cygnet sCMOS camera
2252 Premier Electronics’ Cygnet 17mm (2/3-inch) sCMOS camera provides full HD up to 60Hz. The use of Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) technology allows it to simultaneously deliver extremely low noise, fast frame rates, wide dynamic range, high quantum efficiency, high resolution and a large field of view.

The 2.1MP Scientific CMOS sensor is said to provide ultra sharp image resolution with a quantum efficiency of over 63% in the visible spectrum (at 500nm) and greater than 34% with inferred (at 850nm) and is available in both monochrome and colour versions. Utilising a 12-bit camera-link interface the Cygnet will provide full HD resolution up to 60Hz making it suitable for short exposures and fast events and has a power requirement of less than 1.7W and weight of only 120g.
