New high-speed, high sensitivity dual linescan cameras

Piranha4 monochrome cameras make use of Teledyne DALSA’s dual line scan technology featuring two parallel arrays of pixels to provide twice the sensitivity compared to single line systems. The versatility offered by the new CMOS sensors utilises larger pixel size for the higher line rates to ensure no loss in sensitivity. Integration time and line rate can be adjusted to suit the application. There are 1K and 2K resolution versions with 14 µm pixels and a maximum line rate of 140 kHz. 2K and 4K versions are available with 10 µm pixels and a maximum line rate of 100 kHz. 4K and 8K versions are available with 7 µm pixels and a maximum line rate of 70 kHz.

Piranha4 colour versions are available at 2K and 4K resolution with a maximum line rate of 70 kHz and a new 8K version has been introduced with line rates up to 50 kHz. The 2K version features a trilinear colour sensor with 14 µm pixel pitch and the 4K version features a trilinear colour sensor with 10 µm pixel pitch. They are offering several output format options to meet different imaging requirements. The 8K version features a bilinear colour sensor which offers several colour output format options, including RGB, RG/BG, or G only to meet different imaging requirements.

The Piranha4 is built for the real world with features to ease system integration. An advanced GenICam compliant user interface makes it easy to set up and control camera parameters such as exposure control, FFC, white balance, gain, test patterns, diagnostics and more. Precise sensor alignment across X/Y/Z axes allows reliable, optimized performance in multi-camera systems.
