The Stingray F-145B/C incorporates the popular Sony ICX285 EXview HAD sensor. In
combination with the Stingray's image pre-processing functions like low-noise binning mode
and High SNR mode, this camera produces clear and brillant images even with very low light.
At full resolution, it runs at 16 fps. Also available: Stingray F-145B/C-30 fps (monochrome).
Stingray cameras include numerous real-time image pre-processing functions. All below
mentioned functions are performed by the FPGA inside the camera – with no additional CPU
load and thus an inexpensive host computer.
●
AOI (true partial scan), separate AOI for auto features
●
Programmable LUT, white balance, hue, saturation
●
Debayering

The Technical Manual of the Stingray contains detailed descriptions of all functions.
Applications
Thanks to the ExView HAD Sony ICX285 sensor and especially the High SNR mode, defect
pixel correction and low-noise binning mode, Stingray F-145B/C cameras are the perfect
choice for low-light applications in:
●
Industrial inspection and automation
●
Logistics
●
Science and research
●
Healthcare and medical (light grey housing available)
●
Solar cell inspection
●
LCD panel inspection
●
Multimedia and entertainment
●
ITS (Intelligent traffic solutions)
●
... and many more
Additionally, it is ideally suited for:
●
Demanding OEM camera applications (board level versions with separate sensor board
available on request)
●
Daisy chaining (two copper connectors)
●
Long cables - 400 meters and more without additional repeaters (fiber version)
