Nano-CXP Series Overview
Description
The Genie Nano-CXP (CoaXPress) series provides affordable easy to use digital cameras specifically
engineered for industrial imaging applications by using the industries’ latest leading sensors such
as the On-Semi Python series of global shutter active pixel-type CMOS image sensors. Cameras are
available in a number of models implementing different sensors, image resolutions and feature
sets, either in monochrome or monochrome NIR.
