Added Versatility For Stingray Camera Range

AVT’s popular Stingray range of cameras has been enhanced with the introduction of two new cameras, the 1.3 megapixel F-125 and the 5 megapixel F-504. In addition, all six cameras in the Stingray range are now available as Board Level products. These new cameras will be available at the beginning of 2009 from FIRSTSIGHT VISION (whose name will change to STEMMER IMAGING on January 1st, 2009).

The Stingray F-125 features the new high sensitivity 1.3 megapixel Sony CCD ICX445 sensor, while the Stingray F-504, with its 5 megapixel sensor and excellent image quality extends the range at the high end. Both cameras are available in both monochrome and colour versions and like all Stingray models, they offer two IEEE-1394b (Firewire) interfaces for fast data transfer and simple daisy-chaining when used in multi-camera applications.

These two new models deliver the full functionality of the Stingray family as implemented with the first firmware upgrade. For example, the integrated temperature sensor can be used to control the ventilation or cooling of an imaging system in order to optimise image quality.
