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.

• Kodak KAI-4022
• Two configurable inputs, four configurable outputs
• RS-232 port (serial port, IIDC V1.31)
• External trigger: Programmable, trigger level control, single trigger, bulk trigger, programmable trigger delay
• Modular concept options: various IR cut/pass filters, K-/F-/M39-Mount, angled head, Hirose power: out; 1394b connectors: 2 x copper or 1 x GOF, 1 x copper

• Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
• Debayering
• Auto gain, auto exposure
• Color correction
• Shading correction
• High SNR mode (up to 24 dB better signal-to-noise ratio)
• Smear reduction
• Sub-sampling, 2x – 8x binning (b/w)
• Separate AOI for auto features
• Sequence mode (changes the image settings on the fly)
• Image mirror
• Deferred image transport
• SIS (secure image signature, enhanced time stamp)
• Storable user settings  

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
• Long cable lengths, 400 meters and more (fiber version)
