Allied Vision Expands Camera Range with High-Resolution Sony IMX Sensors
Allied Vision has introduced three new Prosilica GT Large Format cameras, featuring advanced Sony IMX sensors and the versatile TFL-Mount option. These cameras are designed for demanding applications that require robustness, high resolution, and flexibility in lens selection.
Key Features of the New Models
-
High-Resolution Imaging: The latest Prosilica GT models incorporate Sony’s 2nd Generation IMX sensors, offering resolutions up to 31.4 megapixels (MP). These cameras are built with a heat-dissipation optimized housing and support various lens mounts, making them suitable for harsh environments and extreme temperature variations ranging from -20°C to +50°C.
-
TFL-Mount Option: This mounting option supports high-resolution large format sensors and provides the same back focal length as C-Mount. It allows for more compact and robust system designs while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of applications, including industrial inspection and outdoor imaging.
Detailed Model Specifications
The new camera models—Prosilica GT6400 (31.4 MP), GT5400 (16.8 MP), and GT4400 (19.6 MP)—each feature distinct resolutions, aspect ratios, and sensor types tailored to specific use cases:
-
GT6400: Equipped with the Sony IMX342 Type APS-C CMOS sensor, this model boasts a 4:3 resolution of 6480 × 4860 pixels. It is ideal for industrial inspection, medical imaging, and outdoor applications.
-
GT5400: Featuring the Sony IMX387 Type 4/3 CMOS sensor with a 16:9 resolution of 5472 × 3096 pixels, this camera excels in outdoor scenarios such as railway inspection, aerial imaging, and surveillance systems.
-
GT4400: With the Sony IMX367 Type 4/3 CMOS sensor, its unique 1:1 resolution of 4432 × 4436 pixels makes it perfect for microscopy in industrial and life sciences applications.
Additionally, a new C-Mount option is now available for both the GT5400 and GT4400 models, enhancing flexibility when selecting lenses.
Advantages Over Legacy CCD Cameras
The CMOS-based Prosilica GT cameras outperform their discontinued CCD counterparts by offering higher quantum efficiency, dynamic range, spatial resolution, and lower readout noise. They also support modern features such as Power over Ethernet (PoE), IEEE 1588 PTP, and Trigger over Ethernet (ToE) via Action Commands, enabling a single-cable solution for streamlined infrastructure.
