Prosilica GT6400 is a large format camera equipped with a GigE Vision compliant Gigabit Ethernet port and Hirose I/O port. This camera incorporates the second generation Sony IMX342 CMOS sensor with Pregius global shutter technology. This sensor offers high quantum efficiency, high dynamic range and spatial resolution, low readout noise and provides excellent imaging performance. At full resolution, this camera runs at 3.82 frames per second. With a smaller region of interest, higher frame rates are possible. This camera is ideal for high-definition imaging applications with demanding requirements on robustness and design-in flexibility. The rugged camera design, effective passive cooling, and comprehensive feature set make these Prosilica GT6400 cameras an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Prosilica GT6400 has F-Mount as standard. A new compact JIIA standardized M35 TFL-Mount option is available via our Modular Concept.

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 F-Mount, F-Mount PA, EF-Mount PA, M42-Mount, M42-Mount PA, M58-Mount, M58-Mount PA, or TFL-Mount
