Products Image sensors Frame grabbers
InGaAs sensor for hyperspectral cameras Hamamatsu Photonics has developed an InGaAs area image sensor for hyperspectral cameras, capable of detecting shortwave infrared light up to 2.55µm. The image sensor, G14674-0808W, is fabricated using compound opto-semiconductor manufacturing technology.
The InGaAs sensor is ideal for sorting plastics in recycling plants. Hyperspectral cameras can screen and sort plastics containing flame-retardant resin to separate them out from other plastics, which has been extremely difficult up until now.

IPort NTx-Mini-S embedded interface Pleora Technologies has introduced embedded hardware and IP solutions for manufacturers to integrate high- bandwidth Gigabit Ethernet connectivity into flat panel detectors (FPDs) for industrial and medical x-ray systems. The iPort NTx-Mini-S embedded interface is a low profile, small footprint drop- in solution measuring 43 x 67.1 x 5mm. The embedded hardware converts sensor data to packets and sends it with low end-to-end latency over a 1Gb/s GigE link to receiving software or
Rapixo CXP series Matrox Imaging has expanded its Rapixo CXP series of frame grabbers, which now count versions with one and two connections to complement the original version with four connections. Each of these frame grabbers supports the highest speeds in CoaXPress 2.0 – namely the CXP-12 mode at 12.5Gb/s – for high-end machine vision applications.
120-megapixel sensor
Canon USA has released two CMOS sensors, the ultra-high resolution 120MXSI and ultra-high sensitivity 35MMFHDXSMA.
The 120-megapixel 120MXSI sensor is designed for integrators and end-users developing applications such as machine vision, security, robotics, precision agriculture and healthcare. The sensor is capable of simultaneous and discrete image capture from 400nm to 1,000nm at a maximum frame rate of 9.4fps.
The 35MMFHDXSMA sensor is capable of capturing monochrome images in low light levels. Removal of the colour filter array improves the sensitivity. This sensor supports applications including astronomy, natural disaster monitoring, security and object detection, molecular and cell biology, and industrial vision.

Lenses
Xenon-Topaz 2.4/6.5 lens The new 6.5mm wide-angle lens with 17.6mm image circle, for cameras with 1.1-inch sensors, completes the Xenon-Topaz series from Schneider Kreuznach. With a working distance from 0.3m to infinity and a maximum angle of view of 114°, this lens fits various
applications where a large field of view is needed at close range, as is common in security cameras for face recognition.
The lens is supplied with Schneider Kreuznach’s 400nm to 1,000nm broadband AR coating. The Xenon-Topaz

Harrier SDI adapter The new Harrier SDI adapter, created by Active Silicon, is a single-channel host-end acquisition solution for 3G and HD-SDI video streams. The interface is designed to work with a variety of cameras to capture high-definition images and transfer these at high speed in challenging environments. The video input signal is supplied via the BNC connector, or over twisted pair via the RJ45 connector. Three parallel video outputs are provided: 3G-SDI/HD- SDI output (via BNC); HDMI output; and streaming USB Video Class (UVC) v1.1, via SuperSpeed USB Type-C connector. Remote camera control is
enabled by connecting a PC to the adapter via the SuperSpeed USB port or the USB Micro-B port. A single standard Cat5 Ethernet cable, connected between the adapter RJ45 port and the camera, can carry both RS-485 communications and video data. The adapter is available as a board or fitted in a rugged enclosure for use as a standalone unit. When
enclosed, it measures 127 x 86 x 31mm. As well as standard 3G and HD-SDI streams,
the Harrier SDI adapter automatically decodes HD- VLC encoded video streams – supported by Active Silicon’s Harrier Camera interface boards fitted to a Tamron or Sony block camera.

The Rapixo CXP single and dual boards can interface with either one or two CXP
hardware at distances up to 100 metres over a standard Ethernet connection. The iPort NTx-NBT25 and NTx-NBT50 GigE Vision over Nbase-T embedded solutions provide a cost- effective upgrade path for FPD designers by supporting faster 2.5Gb/s and 5Gb/s image transfer over low-cost Cat5e cabling.
For higher bandwidth requirements,
the CoreGev-Tx10 GigE Vision FPGA IP Core is designed for uses requiring up to 10Gb/s transmission over a standard Ethernet connection.

2.0-compliant cameras; the dual board can accommodate higher data rates through connection aggregation. The boards support Power-over-CoaXPress, simplifying
system setup by having power delivered over one of the coaxial cables. A quad-connection version – the Matrox Rapixo CXP quad – is available. Applications using the Rapixo CXP series are programmed using the Matrox Imaging Library software development kit.
