More

Prosilica GT1290 is a 1.2 megapixel camera with a GigE Vision compliant Gigabit Ethernet port and Hirose I/O port. Prosilica GT1290 is offered in both monochrome and color models. This camera incorporates the high-quality Type 1/3 (6.0 mm diagonal) Sony ICX445 EXview HAD CCD sensor providing excellent monochrome and color image quality. The EXview HAD CCD is a sensor that drastically improves light efficiency by including near infrared light region as a basic structure of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensor. At full resolution, this camera runs 33.3 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible. It is a robust camera designed to operate in extreme environments and fluctuating lighting conditions. This camera offers Precise iris lens control allowing users to fix the aperture size to optimize depth of field, exposure, and gain without the need for additional control elements. 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 CS-Mount, F-Mount, or M42-Mount
Various optical filters: Select between B 270 ASG protection glass and filter types: IRC30 IR cut filter, RG715 IR pass filter, or RG830 IR pass filter.

See the Modular Concept for lens mount and optical filters options. See the Customization and OEM Solutions webpage for additional options.
