More

Prosilica GC1290 is a 1.2 megapixel camera with a GigE Vision compliant Gigabit Ethernet port and Hirose I/O port. Prosilica GC1290 is offered in both monochrome and color models. This camera incorporates the high quality Type 1/3 (6.0 mm diagonal) Sony ICX445 CCD sensor with EXview HAD CCD technology that provides superior image quality, excellent sensitivity, and low noise. At full resolution, this camera has a frame rate of 33 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest higher frame rates are possible. By default monochrome models ship with no optical filter and color models ship with a Type IRC30 IR cut filter.

Hardware options

Various lens mounts: Select between C-Mount and CS-Mount
Various optical filters: Select between B 270 ASG protection glass Type IRC30 IR pass filter.

See the Modular Concept for lens mount and optical filter options.
