Weather Persistent: Prosilica GT Cameras for ITS and Outdoor Imaging
Sun or clouds. Hot or cold. The Prosilica GT is prepared to face the elements. Designed for outdoor imaging in extreme temperatures and fluctuating lighting conditions, the GT is ready to thrive in the wild.
Designed for extreme environments
The Prosilica GT’s thermal housing is designed to maximize heat transfer away from key components and to ensure the camera can survive in extreme temperatures from -20°C to +60°C (14°F to 140°F). The user is able to monitor camera temperature remotely and the device will power down if a critical limit is reached preventing critical sensor or FPGA damage. By employing Ethernet surge suppression technology the Prosilica GT is designed to survive a lightning storm, eliminating yet another cause of failure in an outdoor installation.
Adapts to changes in ambient lighting

The Prosilica GT offers Precise Iris and DC auto-iris lens control allowing users to select an F-stop opening to optimize the depth of field, exposure time and gain at a given ambient light level without additional lens components reducing system cost, size and weight.
The Prosilica GT features the latest CCD sensor technology including a selection of Sony EXview HAD CCD sensors well known for their high sensitivity and excellent near IR response, as well as the latest quad-tap CCD sensors from Kodak that combine high resolution with faster frame rates. With quantum efficiency performance above 60% the Prosilica GT models offer high sensitivity ideally suited for low-light environments.
Advanced capabilities for outdoor imaging

The Prosilica GT cameras are packed with new features well suited for outdoor installations such as ITS. Precision time protocol (IEEE1588) allows users to synchronize camera clocks across an Ethernet network while chunk data offers metadata information about captured images such as gain, exposure or region of interest. Advanced color processing, gamma correction and multiple LUT push applications even further by offloading host processes and allowing users to capture the most suitable image directly out of the camera. High frame rate capability offers burst image capture behavior often required in a targeted event such as a passing vehicle in traffic applications where multiples images of a license plate improve ANPR accuracy.
1 to 6 Megapixel - up to 53 fps
The Prosilica GT offer a wide range of cameras from 1 to 6 MP with frame rates up to 53 fps. All cameras feature a GigE Vision° compliant interface and Power over Ethernet (PoE), a technology that supplies a camera with power along with image data through its Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Additional models with CCD and CMOS sensors will be released in 2012. The Prosilica GT digital cameras are ideally suited for ITS and other outdoor imaging applications including public security & surveillance, military and space applications, industrial inspection and machine vision.
