(Photonfocus: Lachen, Switzerland) -- Photonfocus AG, designer and engineer of CMOS sensors and digital cameras, has released the new G2 series GigE Vision cameras based on the MV1 camera platform and Photonfocus A1312 and A1312IE (NIR-enhanced) CMOS sensors. The MV1-D1312-xx-G2 camera is available in four models offering speeds of 27(–40), 55(–80), 68(–100), and 135(–200) frames per second.

The –40 and –80 models are well-suited for standard and multiple camera applications and systems. The –100 model pushes the limit of the GigE interface. When used with powerful computer hardware and high-performance drivers, the –100 provides a convenient solution even for challenging machine-vision applications. Applications requiring multiple, high-speed GigE Vision cameras can use multichannel GigE cards or GigE frame grabbers designed to reduce the load of the computer hardware. The recently released DR1-D1312-200-G2-8 model completes the new G2 product series and offers a GigE Vision-compliant solution with twice the frame rate performance of other GigE Vision cameras on the market.
