New
sensor design provides performance competition for CCD cameras
Representing a major step forward in sensor design, the new Jai
SP-20000 is the latest technology in high-resolution CMOS cameras.
Part of its noteworthy performance is attributable to a level of
image quality well beyond that found in older CMOS-based cameras.
The SP-20000 uses 8 transistors per pixel (8T technology) as opposed
to most traditional CMOS imagers which feature only 4-6 transistor
designs. This advanced pixel technology is utilised by the camera
in a variety of ways to make the
SP-20000’s image
quality suitable for many applications that may not have previously
been considered using a CMOS-based camera.
The SP-20000’s high resolution means
that large areas can be inspected in a single pass
instead of using multiple cameras or moving cameras mechanically.
It is suited to applications that demand detailed, high quality
images with the highest possible throughput.
Available in both monochrome and colour models, the SP-20000 offers
30 fps at full 20-megapixel resolution (5120 x
3840). The sensor is
41mm diagonally in size and
features a
global shutter to freeze motion with
no artefacts. Both models leverage CMOSIS' 8-transistor (8T) pixel
architecture to implement true correlated double sampling (CDS)
and so provide outstanding image quality with the highest degree
of pixel uniformity. An industry-leading 1:50000 parasitic light
rejection ratio minimizes global shutter leakage for clean images
with sharp contrast.
Dual Mini Camera Link connectors in a two-cable "full"
configuration provide the bandwidth necessary for its
high-speed, high resolution output. Power can be supplied
through the Camera Link connectors using a dual-channel-powered
frame grabber, or can be provided separately to the camera via
its 12-pin connector.
