1.3MP sCMOS

The SCM9701-UV-TR camera is a versatile imaging solution, equipped with the GPIXEL GLUX9701BSI back-illuminated sCMOS sensor. This sensor features a 1″ format with 1208×1024 pixels, each measuring 9.76×9.76 µm. Below are key features and capabilities of this camera:

Key Features:

  • Resolution and Sensor: The camera offers a 1208×1024 pixel resolution using the GPIXEL GLUX9701BSI back-illuminated sCMOS sensor.
  • Pixel Size: Each pixel is 9.76×9.76 µm, enabling high image detail.
  • Frame Rate: The camera supports a maximum frame rate of 30 fps at full resolution.
  • Low Light Performance: The SCM9701-UV-TR has exceptional light sensitivity, with a very low noise level of <2e-, making it ideal for low-light imaging applications.
  • Exposure Time: The camera allows for a maximum exposure time of 60 seconds, which is beneficial for capturing long-exposure images or for use in very low-light conditions.
  • Gain Settings: It features selectable Low Conversion Gain (LCG), High Conversion Gain (HCG), and High Dynamic Range (HDR) modes, offering flexibility in handling various lighting conditions.
  • Bit Depth: The camera provides selectable 8-bit or 16-bit output, allowing users to choose between lower data sizes or higher precision in measurements.
  • External Trigger I/O: A notable addition is the external trigger I/O function, providing users the ability to synchronize the camera with other systems or events.

Sensitivity:

  • Spectral Range: The camera is sensitive across a wide range, from 200 to 1100 nm, enabling it to capture images in both the infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectrums.
  • This makes the camera suitable for a variety of specialized imaging tasks, such as biological and chemical analysis, as well as night or low-light surveillance.

Software and Connectivity:

  • EHDView Software: The camera comes bundled with EHDView software, allowing for easy camera control, image capture, and analysis.
  • SDK (Software Development Kit): For advanced users, the camera is accompanied by an SDK for custom software development.
  • USB 3.0: It connects via USB 3.0, ensuring high-speed data transfer.
  • Cross-Platform Compatibility: EHDView Lite is available for macOS and Linux systems, allowing flexibility for users across different platforms.

Use Cases:

Compact design: The sensor is part of the ICM series and is characterized by a compact and lightweight design. This feature makes it ideal for use in smaller devices such as drones or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) that need to be mindful of weight and space.

Drone and UAV use: The GSENSE GLUX9701 is particularly suitable for use in drones or UAVs as its lightweight and compact design minimizes weight, which is crucial for airborne platforms. Drones used for surveillance, inspection or security tasks benefit from the high sensitivity and extended spectral capabilities of this sensor.
