IMPERX expands CHEETAH CMOS line with USB3 interface

Camera manufacturer Imperx is expanding its CHEETAH CMOS camera product family with a new USB3 camera interface option. Imperx demonstrated the U3V- C5180M (25 Megapixel CMOS camera with USB3 interface) at the VISION Stuttgart show, which ran from November 8-10, 2016. The Cheetah camera product family offers a USB3 interface for resolutions from 6MP to 25MP resolution.

The U3V-C5180 using the ON Semiconductor Python 25MP CMOS image sensor offers improved sensitivity, dynamic range, noise and dark current as compared to the previous generation Vita 25M image sensor. The easy to use USB3 Vision (U3V) interface eliminates the need for a frame grabber while boosting data rates as compared to the popular CameraLink Base interface. Each of the new Cheetah cameras using the Python image sensor stands out thanks to their compact, ruggedized mechanical design and Imperx proprietary image processing algorithm, which suppresses fixed pattern noise while retaining dynamic range.

Imperx is a leading designer and manufacturer of high performance, high quality digital cameras.
