2 Introduction
The CMOS high speed camera Eo
Sens
is a high resolution camera with 1280x1024 pixel.
Benefits of CMOS technology are high speed, random access to pixels with free programmab-
ility and low power.
The camera uses industry-standard C-Mount or F-Mount lenses. The sensor diagonal is 22.9
mm with square pixels measuring 14 µm.
Free programmability means that the user is free to define the region of interest by size and
position and the speed of data output. The frame rate can be selected between 1 fps and
several thousand fps depending on resolution and video data width.
With a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixel, 80 fps can be output via the “GigE Vision
®
” Interface.

Preceding exposure, the contents of all light sensitive elements is cleared. When exposure ter-
minates, accumulated charge is transferred to an analog memory associated which each pixel.
It stays there until it is read out (and discharged) by the A/D conversion cycle.
As all light sensitive elements are exposed at the same time, even fast moving objects are
captured without geometric distortion.
