• qVGA Resolution: With a resolution of 320×256 pixels with a pixel pitch of 15µm, this camera delivers unparalleled clarity and detail in every frame.
• Dual-Response Mode: Offering both Linear and logarithmic modes, users have the flexibility to adapt the camera’s response to meet diverse application requirements with ease.
• High Dynamic Range: Experience a unique dynamic range of 120dB without any risk of saturation, ensuring accurate capture of both high and low-intensity scenes.
• Exceptional Sensitivity: Boasting a sensitivity of 50e- and minimal noise levels, the WiDy SenS 320 High-Speed Version excels in delivering crisp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions.
• Compact and Compatible: With a 30mm cage compatibility, this camera effortlessly integrates into existing setups, providing a seamless user experience.
• Low price point: the camera itself has been redesigned with cost-effective components without sacrificing the overall performance.
• Main applications: Industrial process monitoring; Laser Beam Profiling & Tracking; Laser alignment; R&D purposes, etc…

NIT is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the NSC2201, which is a low-noise VGA sensor at 10µm pitch, optimized for volume production. NSC2201 leverages the latest developments made by NIT in low noise high-density ROIC design where the pixel design achieves the highest available compacity in a 10µm pitch without sacrificing signal linearity and noise performance.

Moreover, NSC2201 was designed to facilitate high-volume production by leveraging the recent investment made by NIT in its new manufacturing clean room, including NIT’s high-yield 3D stacking technology.

As a result, NSC2201 is certainly the most advanced price/performance SWIR VGA sensor in the industry.

NIT proudly introduces new additions to its megapixel SWIR camera lineup – SenS 1280:

Two new SWIR cameras:

• Sens 1280 CxP is an HD resolution SWIR camera with a CoaXpress video output compatible with the GenIcam protocol. 
• Sens 1280 SDI equipped with an SDI video output, compatible with most video platforms used in ground, naval, and aircraft applications

Key Features

These two models are equipped with NIT NSC1901 SWIR sensor, a 1280×1024 pixel focal plane array with a pitch of 10µm. This advanced InGaAs sensor exhibits the best Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and sensitivity of the market. 

In addition, both models use NIT’s latest embedded video processing unit for onboard processing of images at full frame rate and minimal latency delay.

Applications

• Sens 1280 CxP: Industrial machine vision, semiconductor inspection, solar cell inspection.
• Sens 1280 SDI: Wide-area surveillance in gimbal and naval platforms.

Availability

OEM modules are also available with a low form factor for easy integration into different systems.

The SenS 1280 SDI is available for purchase as other interfaces, including USB 3.0 and CameraLink (both normal and smart versions).

The SenS 1280 CxP will be first presented at SPIE Photonics West 2024.
