HONGKONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - 10October 2018 - Teledyne e2v, a Teledyne Technologies company and global innovator of imaging solutions, announces that samplesare now available for Emerald 8M9, the newest member of the Emerald CMOS imagesensor family, which is dedicated to machine vision and Intelligent Traffic System(ITS) applications.

Emerald 8M9 featuresa small, 2.8µm low-noise global shutter pixel and differentiates from otherCMOS image sensors by providing a high 8.9 Megapixel resolution within acompact 2/3 inch optical format. The sensor is available in two speed gradeswith no restriction on features: a standard speed model (47fps @10bits) and a highspeed model (107fps @10bits) to address diverse performance requirements.

The newsensor has a low readout noise of 2.8e-, which combined with 65% QE, providesaccurate inspection and surveillance even in low-light conditions. Emerald 8M9 alsobenefits from application specific features including the unique ability toindependently configure the exposure time and position of Regions of Interest(ROI) for several areas in the same scene. Combined with its high resolution,this feature enables simultaneous automatic license plate recognition overseveral lanes of traffic or simultaneous verification tasks using a singlesensor.

VincentRichard, Marketing Manager at Teledyne e2v, said "Emerald 8M9 is designedspecifically to address the demands of machine vision, high resolution surveillanceand traffic intelligence. The sensor is unmatched in the industry because of itsversatile feature set. For example, real-time High Dynamic Range mode allowshigh resolution capture of fast moving situations from daylight to night-timewith minimum artefacts and blur effects."

Samples and demo kits are nowavailable and mass production is planned for Q12019, please visit the product web page or contact us for moreinformation.
