NIT Starts Shipping its Sensors to Camera Manufacturers

IDS Imaging Development Systems, an industrial camera manufacturer, announced the introduction of a new camera which incorporates a NIT Magic CMOS sensor. In a move to differentiate its product range and offer the best available technology, IDS has chosen to work closely with NIT, and has finally selected the MD1-10-B Logarithmic sensor for the design of its latest high-dynamic-range (HDR) uEye camera. This true logarithmic sensor developed by NIT uses an array of photodiodes operated in photovoltaic mode. In most logarithmic imager designs, linear photo current passes through a MOS transistor whose exponential characteristic transforms the photo current into a logarithmic-like voltage output signal. In NIT's Magic approach, the array of photodiodes is operated in photovoltaic mode and the open-circuit voltage across the p/n junction is proportional to the exact and pure logarithmic value of the incident light intensity. IDS used the NIT imager for machine-vision camera applications. NIT also provides the MCD1-10-BW, an analog camera module that uses the HDR imager. These modules are equipped with the MD1-10-B Log sensor which provides extraordinary dynamic range performance greater than 120 dB. MD1-10-B provides a pure logarithmic response without noticeable fixed pattern noise. In addition to the extraordinary wide dynamic range, the MD1-10-B from NIT is immune to light variations, which occur in typical outdoor sceneries.
NIT aims to provide CMOS optical and imaging sensors to industrial, research, medical and defense organizations around the globe.
