Manta G-040 is a 0.40 megapixel machine vision camera with a GigE compliant Gigabit Ethernet port and Hirose I/O port. Manta G-040 incorporates the high quality Type 1/2.9 (6.3 mm diagonal) Sony IMX287 CMOS sensor with Pregius global shutter technology. The Sony IMX287 CMOS sensor provides high frame rates, high sensitivity, and excellent picture quality. The Manta G-040 is offered in monochrome and color models. At full resolution, this camera achieves 286.3 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible. You can also achieve a higher frame by adjusting the packet size. The Manta G-040 is an ideal replacement for legacy CCD models.

Manta is one of Allied Vision's versatile GigE Vision cameras with a wide range of features. Particular highlights are the three look-up tables, sophisticated color correction capabilities, a robust metal housing, and many modular options. By default monochrome models ship with B 270 ASG protection glass and color models ship with a Type Hoya C-5000 IR cut filter.

Applications

The Manta G-040 is the perfect model for industrial applications that require accurate imaging of fast-moving subjects. Equipped with a Pregius global shutter function, the camera provides high-quality image capture that is not affected by focal plane distortion or flash bands. The Sony IMX287's 6.9 µm × 6.9 µm pixel size achieves sensitivity four times that of the IMX273. This means that the same sensor output can be obtained with a shorter shutter time, making it possible to increase inspection speeds in factories. In addition, high sensitivity is achieved even in the near-infrared wavelength band that generally has low quantum efficiency, thereby realizing superior performance.

Manta G-040 is ideal for a wide range of applications including:

Machine Vision
Industrial inspection
Security and surveillance
Intelligent traffic solutions (ITS) including traffic monitoring, speed enforcement, and toll collection
Low light and/or high sensitivity conditions
Outdoor applications with dynamic lighting situations
