4 Megapixel camera with Kodak KAI-4022 type 1.2 sensor – high resolution, low noise

The Pike F-421B/C is equipped with a Kodak HAD CCD sensor type 1.2.
The reason for this large sensor format is the goal to achieve high resolution images with low noise. The sensor has a wide pixel pitch of 7.4 μm.
At full resolution, the camera runs up to 16 fps. Higher frame rates can be reached by a smaller AOI, binning (b/w), or sub-sampling.

Equipped with a large sensor format (type 1.2), the Pike F-421B/C is the perfect fit for low-light applications. It is distinguished by high-resolution images and an extraordinary image quality with very low noise. The smart pre-processing features of the Pike even enhance the image quality. This Pike camera is especially suited for:

  • Applications which require the highest image quality even with low light
  • OEM applications (modular concept)
  • Microscopy
  • Science and research
  • ITS (Intelligent traffic solutions)
  • Long cable lengths, 400 meters and more (fiber version)
