Nano-CL Series Overview
Description
The Genie Nano-CL Camera Link 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, monochrome NIR, or color (raw Bayer) versions.
Nano-CL supports the Teledyne DALSA Trigger-to-Image-Reliability framework to dependably
capture and transfer images from the camera to the host PC.
