HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 30 August 2018- Teledynee2v, a Teledyne Technologies company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces Snappy 2 megapixel, a new CMOSimage sensor designed for barcode reading and other 2D scanning applications.The sensor uniquely combines full HD resolution, a 2.8μm low-noise globalshutter and advanced features for fast and economic decoding, all within asmall optical format.

From pixel performance, tointegrated real-time features, every aspect of the Snappy sensor has beenoptimised to enable fast and accurate scanning of 1D and 2D barcodes. This enablesscanning platforms to offer enhanced productivity and throughput in logistics,sorting, retail POS, and many other associated verticals. Snappy's features arealso useful in a number of other applications including drones/UAVs, embeddedimaging, IoT edge devices, intelligent surveillance cameras and augmented reality/virtualreality. 

Gareth Powell, MarketingManager at Teledyne e2v, said, "Snappy 2MP is the first in a range ofinnovative sensors specifically aimed at barcode reading and is designed toempower handheld,mobile or fixed readers and automatic identification cameraswith better than ever performance. The new sensors feature our patentedFast-Exposure mode, which ensures that the first image frame is correctlyexposed to enable the fastest possible identification and decoding by the imageprocessing system, even in diverse or rapidly changing light conditions."

Snappy 2MP is a member of anexpanding family of sensors with identical software and hardware requirements,bringing further cost savings by enabling a complete range of scanners/camerasat different resolutions from a single system design effort.

Key features:

• Small, low noise global shutter CMOS pixel(2.8μm x 2.8μm)
• Small 1/3 inch optical format at full HDformat
• Excellent signal to noise ratio at low light,saving on system illuminations costs
• HDR modes for wide dynamic scenes
• Single and multi ROI modes for trackingsimultaneous image regions

Samples and demo kits are now available; if you want to have a close upon our Snappy, please visit our booth 6C46 & 6C47 at 20th CIOE ChinaInternational Optoelectronic Expo, on September 5 til 8, at Shenzhen Convention& Exhibition Centre, China.
