Thanks to this feature, disruptive reflections—known as lens flare—are reduced or completely avoided within the camera.
The company plans to make the entire range of Sony Starvis 2 sensors available in different camera families in the future. This will provide customers with the greatest possible flexibility when selecting these light-sensitive sensors.
(IDS: Obersulm, Germany) — Compact, cost-effective, and with exceptional image quality in low ambient light: IDS is the first industrial camera manufacturer to offer the 2 MP sensor IMX662 in both color and monochrome versions. The sensors belonging to Sony’s Starvis 2 series are designed for maximum light sensitivity. They are now available either as compact uEye+ XCP models or as board-level versions in the uEye+ XLS series.
In addition to the sensitive pixel technology, customers benefit from another distinctive characteristic, says Jürgen Hejna, product manager of uEye at IDS. “We offer this rolling shutter sensor with anti-reflection coating, which further improves the image quality,” Hejna says.
Both camera families are characterized by their compact design and are therefore suitable for embedded applications. While uEye+ XCP models have a completely closed housing measuring 29 x 29 x 17 mm with a C-mount lens holder, the uEye+ XLS models measuring just 29 x 29 x 7 mm are available as board-level cameras with or without a C/CS- or S-mount lens holder. The new USB3 industrial cameras deliver particularly impressive results when used in low-light conditions.

In addition, the new models offer excellent value for money. “Customers can get the new models for well under 200 euros list price,” Hejna says.
